The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials on Oct. 25-26 will host Technical Committee meetings toward the ANSI-accredited consensus development of the 2018 editions of the Uniform Solar Energy and Hydronics Code and Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code.

The technical committees, consisting of a broad coalition of industry experts – installers, inspection officials, contractors, engineers, and manufacturers – will consider public proposals to amend the USEHC and USPSHTC in advance of the release of the 2018 editions.

The USEHC Technical Committee will consider the following topics Oct. 26:

  • Protection of potable water in hydronic systems.
  • Air testing of plastic piping in hydronic systems.
  • Tankless water heaters for hydronic heating systems.
  • Open- and closed-type expansion tanks.
  • New material for hydronic systems.
  • Radiant heating and cooling tube fasteners.
  • Hydronic plastic tubing joining methods.
  • Hydronic underground piping installation.
  • Direct exchanger (DX) systems.
  • Vertical boreholes.
  • Factory-made air ducts.
  • Flexible air ducts.
  • Duct leakage tests.
  • Electrical provisions in solar photovoltaic systems.

The USEHC is a model code developed by IAPMO to govern the installation and inspection of solar energy and hydronics systems as a means of promoting the public's health, safety and welfare.

The USPSHTC Technical Committee will meet via teleconference Oct. 25 and consider the following topics:

  • Updating requirements for the design, materials and methods of construction, facilities, and decks as they pertain to public and private swimming pools, spas and hot tubs.
  • Adding reference standards where appropriate and the updating of existing reference standards.
  • Reviewing the requirements for Aquatic Recreational Attractions with regards to diving facilities, slides,
  • decks, means of access, equipment, and wave pools.

The USPSHTC is a model code developed by IAPMO to govern the installation and inspection of both public and private swimming pools, spas and hot tubs to ensure the safety of their operation.
