Every NYC plumber needs two things on the job: the right parts fast, and the right code answers. MPC puts both in your pocket. Finding plumbing supply vendors across the five boroughs shouldn't mean wasted trips or wrong-counter frustration. MPC's interactive map covers 80+ supply locations throughout the NYC metro area, filterable by product category โ Pipes & Fittings, Boilers & Heating, Hardware, and Plumbing Fixtures. Know before you go, every time. Running tight on time? The closest-to-me GPS feature instantly sorts nearby vendors by distance. Tap any location for phone number, business hours, and one-tap directions. Swipe from the vendor list to call, get directions, or save to Favorites. Your most-used shops are always one tap away. The NYC Plumbing Code, NYC Fuel Gas Code, and Local Law 152 are all built in and fully searchable. Type a keyword or section number and get to the right passage in seconds โ no more carrying the printed code or waiting until you're back at the office to confirm a requirement. Studying for your license exam or keeping your knowledge sharp? MPC's section-by-section quiz feature covers all three codes with multiple-choice questions that test you the way the real exam does. Run through a section on the train, at lunch, or any time you have a few minutes. MPC is built for the way tradespeople actually work โ fast decisions, accurate references, and no wasted motion. Whether you're a journeyman, a master plumber, or a service tech navigating NYC's code requirements, this is the reference you'll reach for every day. Download MPC and keep your work moving.
