ICC P2 study plan

Draw a complete drain-waste-vent isometric for a two-bathroom dwelling and label every trap, vent type, and fitting from each fixture to the building drain.

Compute drainage fixture-unit loads for a supplied fixture schedule, showing each conversion and the arithmetic for the building drain and building sewer.

Classify individual, common, wet, circuit, island, and air-admittance vents, and state the code condition that permits or restricts each.

Write a checklist of slope, sizing, and change-of-direction rules that apply to horizontal drains and building sewers.

Identify prohibited fittings and prohibited connections on a horizontal drain run and justify each with the governing rule.

Solve 15 trap-arm length and vent-takeoff distance problems, showing formula, substitution, answer, and the rule used.

Explain the triggers for backwater valves, interceptors, sump pumps, and sewage ejectors, and where each must be installed.

Build a table of special drainage situations and the extra device or protection each requires.

Cross-check setting and access requirements for eight common fixtures, and note where fixture placement interacts with drainage rules.

Compute water heater requirements: relief valve sizing and placement, thermal expansion control, drain pan sizing and discharge termination, and anchorage.

Verify clearances and rough-in dimensions for water closets, lavatories, urinals, showers, and bathtubs against the code's dimensional tables.

Differentiate fixture fitting requirements for backflow protection, tempering devices, flush valves, and hand-held showers.

Explain the accessibility-linked fixture requirements and identify the fixtures and spaces they govern.

Assemble a defect list for three photographed-in-words fixture installations described only by dimensions and connections.

Size a water service and distribution system from fixture-unit demand, applying meter, developed-length, and elevation adjustments.

Apply minimum residual pressure and pressure-loss rules at the meter, at the topmost fixture, and at the most remote fixture.

Select backflow prevention devices by hazard level and state where each type is required versus prohibited.

Distinguish approved pipe materials and joint methods for water distribution and list the restriction on each method.

Produce a sizing worksheet showing demand, branch sizes, and a residual pressure check for a multi-story building.

Calculate roof drainage loads using rainfall intensity, including projected area of pitched roofs and vertical wall area contributions.

Size conductors, gutters, and storm drain piping, and determine when secondary or overflow drainage is required.

Size sumps, pumps, and ejectors for a given inflow condition.

Explain the interaction between the domestic supply and fire protection connections and the protection required at that connection.

Summarize the requirements for nonpotable, gray water, and harvested rainwater systems: cross-connection control, identification, and permitted uses.

Describe the temperature and pressure control requirements for combined domestic and fire systems and for solar thermal water heating.

Compare special-system requirements for health-care and food-service fixtures and list the protective devices each needs.

Draft inspection checkpoints an inspector would verify on-site for each special system covered this week.

Define at least 60 code terms and produce a flashcard set with a plain-language gloss for each.

Trace the permit, inspection, and testing sequence, stating who acts at each stage and what constitutes approval.

Outline administrative provisions: permits, fees, inspections, board of appeals, variances, and violation handling, including the inspector's authority and limits.

Explain how the code, referenced standards, and manufacturer's instructions rank when they conflict, and state the correct course of action.

Complete two full-length timed mock exams and log every missed item by domain and sub-topic.

Re-drill the three weakest sub-topics until each is solved without notes, twice in a row.

Rehearse code-navigation speed by locating twenty requirements in the code within fifteen minutes.

Audit all prior weekly deliverables and convert each remaining gap into a one-line rule on a final review sheet.
