Conserving Water and Energy - Electric Tankless Hot Water Heaters

Presented by: Chronomite Manufacturing

Universal hot water availability is generally taken for granted. At a time when energy prices and sources, environmental concerns, and water shortages are increasing in significance, it is important to produce hot water in a manner that addresses all these issues. This course explains how electric tankless water heaters (ETWHs) do this while also improving health and safety conditions and reducing costs. The examination includes detailed descriptions of many types of ETWHs and the basic calculations and selection criteria for the most suitable system.

Starter Fittings for High Rise Construction

Presented by: Charlotte Pipe and Foundry

Starter Fittings allow for single or back-to-back placement of water closets and other fixtures in vertical multi-story applications such as condominiums, hotels, hospitals or other institutional type buildings. This course reviews the benefits of this space and time saving product that allows for fewer floor penetrations, fewer connections and less fire stopping.

Cast Iron Soil Pipe

Presented by: Charlotte Pipe and Foundry

In this presentation we touch on the History of cast iron from as far back as the 1400’s. We also discuss DWV pipe applications, the advantages of using cast iron over other materials, the different types of cast iron soil pipe, and the unique size of each type. We talk about installation items such as hangar spacing, proper vertical support, joining methods and provisions for thrust restraint. We finish up with a short segment that goes through the different coatings that both domestic, and some import manufacturer’s uses, and the listings for each. We will also look at some of the major differences between Cast Iron, and PVC piping, especially sound attenuation.

Cast Iron Coatings for Aggressive DWV Applications

Presented by: Charlotte Pipe and Foundry

This program begins with a brief history of cast iron pipe, installation procedures, as well as the use of traditional coatings. It then discusses the emerging need for specially coated cast iron soil pipe and fittings in aggressive DWV applications. Various aggressive applications are examined and current special coatings and application methods are shown. The program concludes with a look at field cutting considerations related to coating adhesion.
