Withdrawn. This is version 0.1.0. The entry was withdrawn in version 0.2.0 (2026-10-22): Its only sources were outside North America, which the library no longer uses. No US or Canadian source is available yet. Current status.
Service life
Years in service. One stated life so far; the band will widen as sources are added.
One source. This value rests on a single document (General depreciation rates (IR265), July 2021, p44). Treat it as that source's figure, not a settled life, until others confirm it.
Basis
- 25 years · General depreciation rates (IR265), July 2021, p44 · BDFO “Plumbing fixtures” — Inland Revenue (Te Tari Taake), New Zealand (accounting life)Printed page 44. Plumbing fixtures: toilets, urinals, basins, drinking fountains. Note the separate row 'Sanitary appliances' (8 years), which under NZ Building Code usage means appliances such as dish and clothes washers, not fixtures; it is not mapped. BDFO Building fit-out (when in books separately from building cost). Printed DV 8%, SL 6%. Tax depreciation lives set by the Commissioner of Inland Revenue for New Zealand income tax, not engineering or asset-management lives; they are banded and often short (e.g. reticulation piping 25 years). The July 2021 edition was the newest PDF reachable; the online Depreciation Rate Finder may hold later determinations.

Municipal lives for plumbing (D20)
26 municipalities in Ontario and British Columbia state a life for plumbing as a whole, in 18 distinct tables: 15–50 years, median 25. 34 rows come from capital asset policies (accounting lives, used for amortization) and 1 from asset management plans (planning lives, used to forecast replacement). They describe the system rather than this component, and none is a measured life.
Years. Each dot is one stated life and each bar a stated range; equal values stack. Hollow marks are planning lives from asset management plans; filled marks are accounting lives from policies. The dashed line is the median. Policies that copy the same table count once.
