Hi,
Is there any building code that requires a non-residential restroom to have floor drain. Typical restrooms in an office building for example.
thanks,

lone star-2006 national standard plumbing code section 7.16.4 requires a floor drain in toilet rooms containing either two or more water closets or wall hung urinals or a combination of one or more water closets and wall hung urinals, except in a dwelling unit....outside of NJ not certain what other States actually have adopted the NSPC-syarn

2006 UPC 411.2.1 requires floor drains in "Toilet rooms containing two or more water closets or a combination of one water closet and one urinal, except in a dwelling unit"

I don't have a copy of the IPC handy so I'm not sure of it's requirements.
 
Canadian Plumbing code requires a floor drain in any room that contains a urinal... we usually through them in the Women's side to.
