Plumbing 3D IPC Code Learning
Interactive Plumbing Education
$2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Walk through a fully interactive 3D building, tap every component, and master IPC plumbing code with quizzes, fault simulations, and hydraulic calculators.
Plumbing 3D is the most complete plumbing education app for students, apprentices, journeymen, inspectors, and engineers. Explore a fully detailed 3D building model, tap any component to get instant code-referenced information, and sharpen your skills through seven interactive learning modules.
INTERACTIVE 3D BUILDING
Navigate a realistic multi-story building rendered in full 3D. Tap any pipe, valve, fixture, or system component to view its name, function, material specification, and applicable IPC or UPC code section. Every node in the model is catalogued -- from the water service entry and backflow preventer at the meter, through the supply risers, hot water system, DWV stack, storm drainage, fire suppression, and water treatment equipment.
LEARNING HUB -- 7 MODULES
Plumbing Quiz: Test your knowledge of IPC code requirements, pipe sizing rules, fixture unit calculations, and system design. Your best score is tracked and displayed on the hub card.
Glossary: Searchable reference for over 60 plumbing terms including DWV, PRV, AAV, WSFU, DFU, backflow, and more -- each with a plain-English definition and code citation.
Guided Tour: A narrated, step-by-step walkthrough of water flow through the entire building, from city main to building sewer, with code references at every stage.
Fault Simulator: Activate any of 10 real-world failure scenarios -- water hammer, siphoned trap, cross-connection, sewage backup, pressure loss, clogged vent, pump failure, and more. Live system-status gauges show how each fault affects pressure, flow, temperature, and water level. Work through an interactive response checklist to resolve each fault.
Hydraulic Calculator: Seven built-in calculators covering water demand (GPM), fixture unit sizing (WSFU and DFU per IPC Tables 604.3 and 709.1), pipe sizing, pressure loss, hot water recirculation, drainage load, and pump sizing.
Code Violations: Review 9 documented inspector findings with severity ratings, the specific code section violated, and the correct remediation. Essential preparation for inspections and licensing exams.
Diagram Gallery: Browse 22 technical plumbing diagrams -- including P-trap assembly, DWV stack system, isometric riser diagrams, plumbing schematic riser, T and P valve installation, roof drain details, sprinkler head detail, reduced pressure backflow assembly, sump pump pit, AAV installation, and more. Pinch to zoom on any diagram. Expand to full screen for detailed study.
