Plumbing Code Question - Garage Utility Sink Cut-Off Valves

[fireant911]

We have added a garage/connector addition to our home. The 'new' laundry room will be in the connector. In this connector will reside a deep sink along with the washer/dryer. On the opposite side of the wall, a utility sink will be installed (along with a urinal!). I have a question regarding cutoff valves under the connector's deep sink and the garage's utility sink - does code require that these be present?

Yes, I know that it is wise to do so and I plan on doing this.. I am just curious if it is required by code to have these cut-off valves because I am unsure if the plumbers have intentions on including these valves.

That would a local jurisdiction thing... i.e. your specific county or municipality...

Thanks Jason. I was unsure of how codes are actually applied (i.e., general overall or if specific areas have specific things). I will contact our town's Building Inspector to see what the case is concerning cut-off valves.

Ask your plumbers what they propose to do.
