This momentous occasion will mark the introduction of Navien's latest breakthroughs in tankless water heaters, boilers, and an entirely new product category.

IAPMO has posted online the 2023 Report on Comments (ROC) for the 2023 edition of the prospective American National Standard-designated model code.

For more than a decade, the CircuitSolver thermostatic balancing valve has helped plumbing engineers and contractors overcome the challenges inherent in manual balancing valves. This Q&A explains how the valve was developed and how it has evolved.

Belowgrade spaces are susceptible to excess water, which is a big problem for building owners. Sump pumps are essential to reduce water damage and mold, but must occupy the smallest space possible while operating quietly. One equipped with a diaphragm switch often overcomes many space issues while providing reliable operation.

Plumbing engineers must consider many things when designing a high-rise building’s hot water heating and supply system. Understanding the different piping systems and using industry best practices will assist in a successful project.

In the second part of this series, we look at the essential elements and equipment of fire protection design, such as standpipe systems, fire pumps and pump controllers. Preplanning and coordination are crucial to minimize delays and reduce change orders when constructing a fire sprinkler system.

These valves have different functions in a hot water system; make sure you understand how they work so you can select the appropriate valve for your client’s application.

A primer for designing fuel gas systems: model codes, gas types, heat content, gas pressures, valves, pipe sizing and installation requirements.
