Tips

  • Sheridan does NOT require locking caps on A/C condensers (IMC Section 1101.9 omitted locally) — a deviation from the base IMC worth noting for HVAC contractors used to stricter jurisdictions.
  • Gas piping pressure test standard in Sheridan (10 lbs/15 min on threaded piping) differs from the base IFGC default — confirm with the inspector for unthreaded/plastic piping requirements.
