Approval of pipe manufacturer and his design requirements are required if system is to be used with instantaneous heater.
	i.	Approved adapter or transition fittings to be used for connections to equipment or other approved piping material.
	j.	Step-by-step Assembly — Correct assembly requires the following:
		1.	Cut the pipe square;
		2.	Remove burrs;
		3.	Check for interference fit;
		4.	Clean both pipe and fittings with a recommended CPVC cleaner or by light sanding or both;
		5.	Apply a liberal coat of CPVC solvent cement to the pipe and a light coat of cement to the fitting;
		6.	Assemble immediately by bottoming the pipe in the fitting socket and rotating a quarter turn as the joint is assembled; and
		7.	Remove excess cement from the joint.
	k.	Caution: Joints mistakenly made with only a cleaning solvent may pass the usual cold water pressure check, but can be expected to fail later in hot water service. As a result pressure tests will require the hot water tank to be activated and normal working temperatures attained during test.
6.	Schedule 40, NSF Seal required, solvent cement shall meet the latest applicable standards for use on PVC/ABS and the co-mingling of PVC and ABS is prohibited. The pipe shall be protected from fastener penetration where pipe passes through partitions by the use of 16-gauge steel plates or equal protection.

C. Automatic plumbing vent. Material or product approval — Automatic Plumbing Vent — or approved equal meeting NSF Standard 24.

(1) Description:

(a) The Automatic Plumbing Vent is a Vacuum Activated Valve that is designed as an alternate method of venting "P" traps of fixtures other than Water Closets in household drainage systems. These are fixtures that require one and one half inch vent or smaller. Since the

(b) Automatic Plumbing Vent serves only to allow air to enter the system and does not provide for back pressure relief, a limit, as to the number of fixtures vented by Automatic Plumbing Vent's and tributary to a single drain line, must be adhered to. This limitation is identified in the installation requirements. Additionally, the use of Automatic Plumbing Vent will not eliminate the need for a main soil or vent stack.

(2) Areas of permitted use: The approval covers the Automatic Plumbing Vent device as an acceptable alternate method of venting plumbing fixtures such as sinks, lavs., bathtubs, showers, laundry trays, automatic washers and similar fixtures requiring a trap not larger than two inches. Installation is limited to single family building two stories or less in height and without corrosive wastes.

(3) NOTE: The Administrative Authority will consider requests for use of the Automatic Plumbing Vent on permitted type fixtures in remodeling installations in other building classifications where conventional venting requirements would create structural problems or damage. Also, where the location of such fixtures and their waste connections to existing drains will not present a black pressure condition.

(4) Installation requirements.

(a) The Sealing Washer of the Automatic Plumbing Vent must be located at least six inches above the top of the trap arm. To insure compliance with this requirement, the total length of the pipe between the top of the Directional or Vent tee and the 1 1/2-inch female adapter, in which the Automatic Plumbing Vent is mounted, shall not be less than four inches.

(b) The Directional or Vent tee shall be within the Requirements set forth in Table 860-150A, "Distance of Fixture Trap from Vent."

(c) Device is limited to use of Plumbing Fixtures with a trap size of two inches or smaller and a total of fixture unit Value of three.

(d) Two fixtures individually protected by the Automatic Plumbing Vent may be drained by a Common 1 1/2 inch drain pipe, provided the fixture unit valve does not exceed three. Where the fixture unit valve exceeds three or where more that two fixtures are installed on a common drain, the drain must be increased to two inches. A maximum of three fixtures, not exceeding a total fixture unit of six, may be individually protected by Automatic Plumbing Vent's on a common two inch drain pipe.

(e) The device is to be installed in accordance with Article XV Plumbing Code and Mfg. recommendations. The device is not to be installed in a sealed wall cavity and is to remain accessible for inspection.

(f) The Automatic Plumbing Vent may be mounted under counter top in the base cabinets or in the inside wall behind a ready access panel.

(g) Use only a petroleum jelly on the threads to insure an air-tight fit. Anything else, including pipe-thread compound, may deteriorate the Automatic Plumbing Vent or its adapter. Hand tighten.

(h) The device shall not be installed where subject to back pressure, such as at the base of soil or waste stacks.

D. Suds pressure zones and suds relief vent.

(1) Suds pressure zones and suds relief vents — where required: Where sinks, laundry trays, laundry washing machines, and similar fixtures in which sudsy detergents are normally used, discharge at an upper level into a soil or waste stack which also serves fixtures in other occupancy units at a lower floor level, the drainage and vent piping for such lower fixtures shall be arranged so as to avoid connection to suds pressure zones in the sanitary drainage and vent systems, or a suds relief vent, relieving to a nonpressure zone, shall be provided at each suds pressure zone where such connections are installed. In multistory buildings, with more than six branch intervals of fixtures described above, separate waste and vent stacks for the lower four branch intervals of fixtures shall be required.

(2) A suds pressure relief vent must be connected to each suds pressure zone and installed so as to relieve suds pressure therefrom to a nonpressure zone in the plumbing system. Suds pressure relief vents should be at least three quarters of the diameter of the piping in which the pressure zone occurs, but not less than two inches.

(3) Suds pressure zones: Suds pressure zones shall be considered to exist at the following locations in sanitary drainage and vent systems as indicated in Table B.

(a) Zone 1. In a soil or waste stack, which serves fixtures on two or more floors and receives wastes from fixtures wherein sudsy detergents are used, a zone shall be considered to exist in the vertical portion upstream of an offset fitting in the riser to the upper section of the system, in the horizontal portion downstream of this fitting, and in the horizontal portion upstream of the offset immediately preceding the next offset fitting. See Table B.

(b) Zone 2. In a soil or waste stack, which serves fixtures on two or more floors and receives waste from fixtures wherein sudsy detergents are used, a zone shall be considered to exist at the base of the stack and extending upstream. See Table B.

(c) Zone 3. In a soil or waste system, which serves fixtures on two or more floors and received wastes from fixtures wherein sudsy detergents are used, a zone shall be considered to exist downstream in the horizontal drain from the base of the stack and both upstream and downstream of the next offset fitting downstream.

(d) Zone 4. In a soil or waste system, which serves fixtures on two or more floors and receives wastes from fixtures wherein sudsy detergents are used, a zone shall be considered to exist in the vent stack extending upstream from the point of connection to the base of the soil or waste stack.
