1.2 Weighted Average Lead Content: The weighted average lead
content of a "lead-free" pipe, pipe fitting, plumbing fitting, or
fixture shall be calculated by using the following formula: For
each wetted component, the percentage of lead in the component
shall be multiplied by the ratio of the wetted surface area of that
component to the total wetted surface area of the entire product to
arrive at the weighted percentage of lead of the component. The
weighted percentage of lead of each wetted component shall be added
together, and the sum of these weighted percentages shall
constitute the weighted average lead content of the product. The
lead content of the material used to produce wetted components
shall be used to determine compliance with "lead-free". For lead
content of materials that are provided as a range, the maximum
content of the range shall be used. Table 3.1.3 - X.

Code Section: 5.5.1d Exception: Existing buildings shall be
permitted to drain through a backwater valve that serves all
the
fixtures in a building if the floor elevation that the fixtures
are on is above the next upstream manhole
cover.
Basis/Reason for Change: Existing buildings that have
experienced a sewage backup that was caused by problems in an
existing public sewer main should be allowed to install a backwater
valve in
the main building drain or sewer to protect the property. This
change would allow the installation of a
backwater valve in a system where the existing drainage system
discharges to the public sewer at an
elevation below the top of the next upstream manhole without
having to repipe an existing system where
the total system is discharging through a common drain.

___10.15.2.c________________________ THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENT IS
SUBMITTED: NSPC Section 10.15.2.c: c. An on-demand recirculation
system, activated by sensors or manually operated buttons, shall be
permitted to be used tTo satisfy the requirements of Section
10.15.2a., the controls for the pumps in heated water distribution
systems shall start the pump based on the identification of a
demand for heated water within the occupancy. The controls shall
automatically turn off the pump when the water in the circulation
loop is at the desired temperature and when there is no demand for
hot water. Basis/Reason for Change: The terminology of on-demand
recirculation system is considered somewhat specific towards one
manufacturers existing technology. US Patent No. 5829475 is for
On-demand zone valve recirculation system. In addition, another
manufacturer markets and promotes the same licensed solution for
On-Demand Systems. Finally, Merriam-Webster dictionary does not
recognize on-demand as a word. The above modified wording provides
the same required control sequence with no reference to a
manufacturers solution which may provide a market advantage. In
addition, the proposed wording also opens up opportunities for
future technologies to be developed. Vote: ___ Accept ___ Accept as

Section: 10.16.7 Vacuum Relief Valves for Water Heaters and Water
Storage Pressure Tanks a. Where water distribution piping can
siphon water from a water heater and cause dry-firing or cause a
water heater or water storage pressure tank to collapse or be
damaged by vacuum, a vacuum relief valve shall be installed on the
cold water inlet piping to the water heater vacuum relief shall be
provided. b. The vacuum relief valve requirements for water heaters
shall depend on the type of water heater, the relative elevation of
its inlet and outlet piping, the relative elevation of its water
supply source, and the relative elevation of the lowest hot and
cold water supply outlets connected to the piping associated with
the water heater, in accordance with the following:
1. Where the heating element for the water heater is located in
or below the lower half of its tank and the water heater has top
water pipe connections, vacuum relief shall not be required if the
piping associated with the water heater is not connected to any hot
and cold water outlets on floor levels below that on which the
water heater is installed. If the water heater serves outlets on a
floor level below that on which it is installed, a vacuum relief
valve shall be installed on either the cold water inlet pipe or the
hot water outlet pipe that is above the top of the heater.
2. Where a water heater has a heating element in the upper half
of its tank and the piping
associated with the water heater is connected to any hot or cold
water outlets on the same floor level on which the water heater is
installed or on a lower floor level, its cold water supply and hot
water discharge pipes shall be above the top of the water heater
and a vacuum relief valve shall be installed on either the cold
water inlet pipe or the hot water outlet pipe with its inlet at
least 6-inches above the top of the heater.
-
13-187
3. Where a water heater has a bottom inlet, the cold water
supply pipe to the heater shall be above the top of the heater tank
before it drops to the bottom inlet and a vacuum relief valve shall
be installed on that supply line before it drops with the relief
valve inlet at least 6-inches above the top of the heater tank.
EXCEPTION: Vacuum relief shall not be required if the elevation of
the water supply source for the facility is above the top of the
heater tank and there are no cold water outlets in the supply
piping from that source that are below the top of the heater
tank.
4. Where a water heater has a bottom outlet, the hot water
outlet pipe from the heater shall be extended up to above the top
of the heater and a vacuum relief valve shall be installed on that
outlet pipe above the top of the tank with the relief valve inlet
at least 6-inches above the top of the heater tank. EXCEPTION:
Vacuum relief shall not be required if there are no outlets in the
hot water piping from the water heater that are below the top of
the heater tank.
5. Where a water heater is subject to vacuum from its hot water
discharge piping, a dip tube
with a vent opening shall not be considered as adequate vacuum
relief.
b. c. Vacuum relief valves shall comply with ANSI Z21.22/CSA 4.4
and be rated for not less than 210F.
c. d. Valves Vacuum relief valves shall be the full size of the
water heater inlet pipe connection that it is associated with and
shall be installed at an elevation on piping that is above the top
of the heater tank. e. Vacuum relief valves shall not be isolated
from the water heater by shutoff valves for the water heater. f.
Vacuum relief for a water storage pressure tank shall be the same
as required for a water heater unless the tank, including any
lining, is rated for full vacuum. Basis/Reason for Change: To add
specific requirements for installing vacuum relief valves for water
heaters and water storage pressure tanks. All water heaters are not
subject to damaging siphonage and dry-firing Conventional water
heaters with heating elements under or near the bottom of their
tank should not require vacuum relief from piping to fixtures on
the same floor level. The maximum vacuum siphonage in that case
would be only the upper half of the water in the heater tank. Vote:
