Plastic piping systems have distinct specification requirements. Make sure you’re getting the most from every system.
It would be easier for specifiers if plastic plumbing systems all performed exactly the same. But that’s not the reality. Failing to account for the differences in plastic plumbing materials in the specification can result in a system that underperforms expectations and may fail prematurely.
In this on-demand webinar, we review the differences between plastic potable water systems and provide specifiers with the information they need to develop specification for plumbing systems that consistently perform as expected. Topics include:
- Review of applicable standards for each material
- Key considerations for optimizing flow rates for different materials
- Temperature, pressure and water condition limitations for different materials
- Avoiding premature failure due to chemical incompatibility
This was a live webinar presented by Jonathan Simon, Business Manager – Residential Plumbing.
Jonathan has spent the last 9 years researching the US and global plumbing markets, investigating the use of materials and their performance under various water conditions. Most recently, Jonathan has been investigating the influence of chlorine-based water disinfection methods on system longevity in Copper, PEX and CPVC piping systems. He has spoken on this and other topics surrounding plumbing systems and water quality at IBS, SEBC, ECBC and the Green California Summit and Exposition. Jonathan is proud to serve on the inaugural Home Innovation Research Labs Manufacturer’s Advisory Board.
