Clawfoot Tub Plumbing

Clawfoot Tub Plumbing: Code Concerns

Before you begin your next remodeling project, it is a wise idea to check local building codes to ensure compliance. This is especially important for bathroom remodels that include the addition or replacement of a clawfoot tub. Plumbing codes may influence your choice of clawfoot tub or clawfoot tub faucet.

The International Code Council publishes a set of plumbing codes but adoption, interpretation, and enforcement varies. We can't tell you how code will apply in your area, however, the following list may help you select a clawfoot tub or clawfoot tub faucet that will satisfy local plumbing code.

  • Anti-skid regulations requires slip resistant bottoms on clawfoot tubs. Our clawfoot tubs have anti-skid bottoms.
  • Anti-siphon ordinances may require clawfoot tub faucet spouts to be above the overflow or even above the tub rim. Our clawfoot tub faucets are antique reproductions. Although some faucets have spouts that extend below the overflow, many code approved options are available.
  • Anti-scald code may require a thermostatic or a pressure balanced faucet. We offer one of the only thermostatic clawfoot tub faucets on the market today as well as pressure balance supply systems for clawfoot tub faucets.
  • Anti-siphon code may require backflow prevention on faucets with handheld showers. Many of our faucets with handshowers include a vacuum breaker.

    To make certain your project goes smoothly, we recommend speaking to a professional in your area for help with local plumbing code.
