All installations, repairs, and alterations of plumbing shall
be performed in accordance with the State Plumbing Code.
Three copies of the State Plumbing Code shall be kept on file
by the Inspection Services Division for inspection by and use of the
public and shall be marked with the words "City of Dover, New Hampshire
Official Copy."
No plumbing work, except as provided in §
113-10, shall be undertaken prior to the issuance of a permit by the Plumbing Inspector. A permit shall be issued only to a licensed master plumber, except as provided in §
113-7 of this chapter.
Any permit required by this chapter may be issued to any property
owner to do any work regulated by this code, other than work involving
the connection with any drain or waste line, in a single-family dwelling
used exclusively for living purposes, including the usual accessory
buildings and quarters in connection with such building, provided
that the property owner resides in the property and purchases all
materials and performs all labor.
No permit shall be issued until plans and specifications showing
the proposed work in detail have been submitted to and approved by
the Plumbing Inspector. If a permit is denied, the applicant may submit
revised plans and specifications without payment of additional fee.
If, in the course of the work, it is found necessary to make any change
from the plans and specifications on which a permit has been issued,
amended plans and specifications shall be submitted and a supplementary
permit, subject to the same conditions applicable to original application
for permit, shall be issued to cover the change. Approved plans and
specifications shall be returned to the applicant upon request.
Repairs involving only the working parts of a faucet or valve,
the clearance of stoppages, repairing of leaks or replacement of defective
faucets or valves may be made without a permit, provided that no changes
are made in the piping to the fixture.
