Illinois Plumbing Code Practice

The assertion is accurate. Shielded joints for no-hub cast iron soil pipe, which utilize an elastomeric gasket and are secured with either stainless steel shields and bands or cast iron couplings with stainless steel fasteners, align with the requirements specified in the Illinois Plumbing Code.

These types of joints are engineered to provide a reliable seal that accommodates both the expansion and contraction of piping materials and the potential vibrational stresses that can occur within plumbing systems. The use of stainless steel enhances the durability and resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for long-term use in a variety of plumbing applications.

The referenced design effectively addresses critical aspects such as flexibility and strength, which are essential for maintaining the integrity of plumbing systems under different conditions, including temperature fluctuations and dynamic loads.
