The National Plumbing Code is the most commonly referenced plumbing code book in Alberta because it provides a comprehensive framework for plumbing standards and regulations that apply across Canada, including Alberta. This code addresses various aspects of plumbing such as design, installation, health and safety standards, and maintenance practices, ensuring that plumbing systems are safe, efficient, and environmentally sustainable.

While other codes like the International Plumbing Code and the Uniform Plumbing Code might be relevant in different jurisdictions, they are not typically used as the primary reference in Alberta. The Alberta Building Code complements the National Plumbing Code by incorporating additional provincial-specific requirements, but it does not exclusively focus on plumbing practices alone. Therefore, the National Plumbing Code remains the standard that plumbers in Alberta most frequently consult for their work.
