1 Maintenance. Devices, equipment, or safeguards required by this code shall be maintained in accordance with the manufacture's maintenance instructions so that a hazard is not created.code edition under which installed. The owner or the owner s designated agent shall be responsible for maintenance of plumbing systems. To determine compliance with this subsection, the Authority Having Jurisdiction shall be permitted to cause re-inspect a plumbing system. to be reinspected Additions, Alterations, enovations, or epairs. Additions, alterations, renovations, or repairs to existing plumbing installations shall comply with the provisions for new construction. Additions, alterations, or repairs or replacement of equipment in an existing system shall not create a hazard of any kind elsewhere in the system. Any unless such deviations are found to be necessary and are first shall be approved by the Authority Having Jurisdiction Dead Leg. A section of pipe which contains water that has no flow, does not circulate, remains stagnant, or is infrequently used Workmanship Dead Legs. Dead legs shall be made as short as possible and shall contain a means of flushing or located in line with downstream fixtures E - Emergency Floor Drain. A floor drain that does not receive discharge from any fixture drain or indirect waste pipe, and serves to protect from damage where accidental spills, leaks or fixture backups occur Joint, Press-Connect. A permanent mechanical joint incorporating an elastomeric seal or an elastomeric seal and corrosion resistant grip or bite ring. The joint is made with a pressing tool and jaw or ring that complies with the manufacturer's installation instructions Private or Private Use. Applies to plumbing fixtures in residences and apartments, to private bathrooms in hotels, and hospitals, to plumbing fixtures in patient care rooms in health care facilities, and to restrooms in commercial establishments where the fixtures are intended for the use of a family or an individual. New definitions for ehabilitation, cured in place and watertight for the rehabilitation of building sewers and sewer service lines. Concern with enforceability Unenforceable Committee Comment: Modified Dead Leg - delete rest of sentence after no flow or does not circulated Modify delete as short as possible and shall contain and shall have a means of flushing and delete remaining text. Concern that proposed wording would conflict with the UPC related to roughing in for future use.

A Comment - Seismic provision should NOT be required for water heaters in areas where seismic activity is not prevalent; adds cost to the installation when it is not justified based on the fact that something could happen; A water heater, when filled with water, is not easily moved, especially to the point of ripping connectors off from them. Committee approved based on understanding it would only apply in areas with seismic activity. 9 P age - J. Kendzel
