Plumbing 3D IPC Code Learning

Interactive Plumbing Education

$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Now with a commercial building model, in-app search, a 40-question certification exam, and 35 new technical diagrams. The most complete plumbing reference yet. Plumbing3D is a complete plumbing education app for students, apprentices, journeymen, inspectors, and engineers. Explore fully detailed 3D building models, tap any component for instant code-referenced information, and sharpen your skills through nine interactive learning modules. TWO 3D BUILDING MODELS Navigate a residential house or a 2-story commercial building in full 3D — switch anytime. Tap any pipe, valve, fixture, or component for its name, function, material spec, and IPC/UPC code section, from the water meter through supply risers, DWV stack, storm drainage, fire suppression, and water treatment. Toggle wall transparency, hide the roof, animate flow, explode the view by system, or overlay pipe-size labels. SEARCH ANYTHING Instantly search every component, glossary term, and quiz question from one place. LEARNING HUB — 9 MODULES Plumbing Quiz: Test your knowledge of code requirements, pipe sizing, and fixture unit calculations. Best score tracked. Certification Exam Mode: Timed 40-question mock exam, 70% pass threshold, countdown clock, and a missed-questions breakdown by system. Glossary: 60+ searchable terms (DWV, PRV, AAV, WSFU, DFU, backflow) with plain-English definitions and citations. Code Reference: An offline, searchable companion organizing every component's code citation and function by system. Guided Tour: A narrated walkthrough of water flow from city main to building sewer, with code references at every stage. Fault Simulator: Activate 10 real-world failures — water hammer, siphoned trap, cross-connection, sewage backup, and more — with live status gauges and an interactive response checklist. Hydraulic Calculator: Seven calculators for water demand, WSFU/DFU sizing, pipe sizing, pressure loss, recirculation, drainage load, and pump sizing — plus a project mode that saves named calculations and exports a PDF. Code Violations: 9 documented inspector findings with severity, code section, and remediation — key prep for inspections and licensing. Diagram Gallery: 45+ technical diagrams — P-trap assembly, DWV and riser diagrams, chiller schematics, mechanical closet cutaways, MEP sections, inspection checklists, and more. Pinch to zoom or view full screen. YOUR OWN NOTES Attach notes to any component — a personal study log or jobsite reference, saved automatically.
