International
Mechanical Code (IMC)
International Code Council (ICC)
The 2018 International Mechanical Code (IMC) establishes
minimum regulations for mechanical systems using prescriptive and
performance-related provisions.
The IMC was developed with broad-based
principles that make possible the use of new materials, methods and
design.
Important changes
include:
- Added coverage of pollution control
units.
- A new exception was added to recognize
Type I kitchen hoods listed for clearances to combustibles of
less than 18 inches.
- Added coverage for a newer type of
non-metallic duct, phenolic duct.
- New coverage for high volume large
diameter fans (HVLD), also referred to as high volume low speed
(HVLS) fans.
- Relaxed requirements for sealing of duct
joints and seams for Snap- and Button-lock duct joints located
within the thermal envelope.
