Which division handles Plumbing?

• A. Division 14
• B. Division 21
• C. Division 23
• D. Division 22

Answer: (D)

In construction specifications, work is grouped by systems, and Plumbing is the division that covers the distribution and disposal of water and waste, plus related fixtures and fittings. This includes water supply piping, sanitary drainage and venting, fixtures, traps, and gases, along with valves and backflow prevention devices. Other divisions map to different systems: for example, Fire Protection handles fire-suppression piping, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) is a separate division, and Conveying Equipment covers elevators and related equipment. Because plumbing specifically deals with water, waste, and gas distribution and their associated components, it belongs in Division 22.
