Lifestyle changes driven by the pandemic have kept many service plumbers especially busy over the previous months. 

The climate control systems in most commercial buildings have very little similarities to their residential counterparts. 

Forty-eight years ago, as a plumbing apprentice, we used ABS schedule 40 piping and fittings for DWV work. 

Some hydronic system designers cling to certain system piping configurations — even when existing projects using those configurations have produced problems.

When troubleshooting a hydronic system, the piping layout is often confusing. To understand the system, I sometimes sketch the piping to help me visualize the flow of water. 

Anvil International’s new FlexHead Flexible Pipe (FFP) products provide a time and money saving solution for pipe-to-pipe connections around obstacles by replacing odd-angle elbows, the company explains. 

Victaulic University features more than 45 piping technology courses are available at no cost in two virtual formats: Live, instructor-led webinars and self-paced courses, which are available on-demand at any time.

From celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2018 to investing another $6 million to its joint venture company, Phyn, in 2019 to the release of the Phyn Plus Pro Edition at the 2020 International Builders Show, Uponor has certainly been busy the past few years.

I recently had an inquiry from a designer who needed to combine some high temperature loads with low temperature loads.
