Plumbing final inspection checklist

The plumbing final checks the finished fixtures and equipment: fixtures set, sealed and leak-free, hot on the left and cold on the right, drains flowing, the water heater strapped with its relief valve discharged properly, an expansion tank where required, and the gas test pressure and water temperature at a fixture recorded.

Run this checklist free on your phone, with photos and signatures: myBivy for Trades at srene.io. A field checklist, not the code; follow the code and amendments your jurisdiction has adopted.

What gets missed most

  • A water heater relief valve discharge that isn't routed properly.
  • No expansion tank where one is required.
  • A slow leak at a supply or trap.
  • Hot and cold reversed at a faucet.

This is a field checklist, not the code. Your inspector enforces the code and local amendments your jurisdiction has adopted.

Questions trades ask

What does a plumbing final inspection include?

Fixtures, leaks, drains, the water heater and its safety devices, and any gas piping test. This checklist walks each one.

Why record the water temperature at a fixture?

Many codes and specs limit hot water temperature at fixtures to prevent scalding. Writing the reading down shows you checked it.

Who signs off on the plumbing final?

On this checklist: the plumber's QC check, the GC and the plumbing inspector.

Can I use this checklist on my phone?

Yes. It's built into myBivy for Trades, free for up to 5 people: Pass, Fail or N/A on each item, notes, photos and readings, signatures on site, and a clean PDF for the GC.
