Discussion Topics

On these pages we are conducting discussions relevant to our members, which includes Commercial and Residential Plumbing, Mechanical or Gas Inspectors, and Plans Examiners.  We expect the discussions to include interpretations of the four codes (see sidebar right), new products in our respective industries, code enforcement for professionals and any related subjects you want to bring to the attention of the rest of us. 

Below you will notice links to plumbing, mechanical or gas comments.  You are welcome to join in.  Please note that comments are to be submitted by e-mail.  This will provide us an opportunity to screen out the insincere and/or unrelated commercial comments, including unwelcome language.  Many web sites offering this service with real time comments have had to discontinue the practice because of abuse by outsiders: persons with no interest in the web site's purpose - but actively using the facility to their own ends.  Requiring submittals by e-mail introduces a time lag in the spontaneity of discussion, but it will assure the survival of the service.
The four codes: The International Plumbing Code; The International Mechanical Code and The International Gas Code make up three.  The fourth code is the International Residential Code and includes the Plumbing Portion; the Mechanical Portion and the Gas Portion.
