Comparing the Design Considerations of Non-Metallic Plumbing Systems

Recorded On: 02/18/2014

This one-hour seminar will provide Plumbing Engineers and Designers, Building Officials, Plumbing Contractors, and Building Maintenance Engineers with an in-depth, technical comparison of the various non-metallic plumbing system options available on the market today. As a growing number of non-metallic alternatives continue to replace traditional metal plumbing systems, this webinar will provide participants with the knowledge to make informed decisions about which non-metallic system is the best choice for any given project requirements. Topics include:

Features and benefits of each of the non-metallic plumbing system materials
How various fitting systems and joining techniques can affect project reliability, time and cost
Model code considerations and standards requirements that can impact your design specification
Life-limiting factors of non-metallic pipe and fitting systems

This webinar was sponsored by Lubrizol. Original air date: May 2014
