Plumbing Flow Rates by State, County, and City
Plumbing Flow Rates by State, County, & City
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT ’92) created the Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products and prompted
standards for plumbing products (ASME A112.18.1M and CSA B125) to be included into the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR),
therefore becoming Federal Law. Under Federal Law, all kitchen and bathroom faucets are limited to a maximum flow of 2.2
gallons per minute (gpm) at a pressure of 60 psi, and showerheads are limited to a maximum of 2.5 gpm at 80 psi.
