In Plain Language

Every fixture, plumbing appliance, interceptor, cleanout, valve, device, or piece of equipment must be located so it remains readily accessible for use, cleaning, and maintenance over the building's life.

This is a plain-language summary of the 2012/2017 Ontario Building Code text above, for general understanding only and not a substitute for the Code. Always confirm current requirements against the 2024 edition (O.Reg. 163/24) or a qualified professional before construction.
