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.

Code Section: 7.22 Water Treatment Systems

Water softeners, Reverse osmosis water treatment units, and other drinking water treatment systems

shall meet the requirements of the appropriate standards listed in Table 3.1.3. Waste discharge from

such equipment shall enter the drainage system through an air gap. Discharge piping shall be of a

material approved for potable water, sanitary drainage or storm drainage.

Basis/Reason for Change: The purpose for this change is to protect any type of water treatment unit that discharges from

failure due to piping material collapse, pinching, or any other means of distortion due to lack of

structural integrity. These failures can go un-noticed by homeowners for extended periods of time

which can result in health and/or safety hazards. In addition, the failure of such discharge lines due to

lack of structural integrity can lead to profuse water leakage, resulting in significant property damage

and the possibly of creating a health hazard through mold and mildew growth.

Check All That Apply: _____ Amend section with this editorial change __x__ Change subsection to read as follows _____ Delete subsection and substitute as follows _____ Add new subsection to read as follows _____ Delete subsection without substitution Code Section: ___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 manufacturer’s 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 Amended

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.

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 210°F.

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.

Code Section: 11.7.10 High Level Alarm

THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENT IS SUBMITTED: NSPC Section 11.7.10 Sewage pumping units for other than single dwelling units shall include an audible, visual, or combination high liquid level alarm properly located to alert occupants/staff. EXCEPTIONS:

(1) Existing sewage pumping units. (2) Sewage ejectors and sewage pumps serving individual fixtures. (3) Macerating toilet systems.

Basis/Reason for Change: There have been instances whereby a failed sewage ejector within a residential dwelling has caused damage and/or clean-up costs that will potentially be avoided by stipulating that a high level alarm be included for any sewage pumping unit (unless one of the EXCEPTIONS apply); regardless if it is installed within a single family dwelling or a commercial/industrial building. The extending statement “properly located to alert occupants/staff” is added to clarify that the location of the audible/visual alarm device also needs to be considered to ensure timely notification when a high level sewage condition is detected.
