Codes / Standards

The 2021 edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC®) represents the most current approaches in the plumbing field. It is the seventh edition developed under the ANSI Consensus process is designated as an American National Standards by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

The 2018 edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC©) represents the most current approaches in the plumbing field. It is the sixth edition developed under the ANSI Consensus process is designated as an American National Standards by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Since first publishing a Standard Plumbing code in 1933, PHCC has been maintaining what is known today as the National Standard Plumbing Code (NSPC) on an annual basis. Designed to ensure the proper installation of plumbing systems, NSPC provides local and state governments, code administrative bodies and the industry with a modern code to protect public health and safety.

**Special Order** This manual takes contractors through the design stage to the completion of a successful residential heating and cooling system installation. The whole house concept of Manual RS includes special design elements that match the needs of today's homeowners.

**Special Order** Manual P shows you how to use the psychrometric chart to map any type of heating and cooling process, and how to use these maps to calculate heating, cooling, humidification, and loads. Includes sample problems and solutions for sensible heating and sensible cooling processes, humidification and dehumidification processes, room-sensible heat ratio and coil-sensible heat ratio.

**Special Order** Manual H gives you a one-stop reference on residential and small commercial heat pump systems- basic prin­ciples, equipment, installa­tion, operation, applications and system design-with a wealth of step-by-step examples and design calcula­tions (69 pages). Topics include: - Equipment selection, siz­ing, and operating costs - Air-to-air, water-to-air, air-to-water, water-to-water, fossil fuel hybrid, earth coupled, and reclaim water loop equipment - Multi-zone, split-coil heat pump systems - VAV heat pump systems - Heat pump operating cycles and controls - Effïciency descriptors (COP and HSPF) - Thermal and economic balance points - Supplementary and emergency heat - Heat sources and heat sinks. Manual H gives you a one-stop reference on residential and small commercial heat pump systems - basic principles, equipment, installation, operation, applications and system design - with a wealth of step-by-step examples and design calculations

Manual Q is your one-stop reference book on the low-pressure, low-velocity systems used in small and mid-size commercial buildings. Manual Q gives you time-saving quick fitting loss tables and a complete set of fitting loss tables compiled from the ASHRAE and SMACNA handbooks.

Commercial Design Manual Applications Systems and Equipment - This manual focuses on the methods and procedures that should be used to design small commercial HVAC systems.

MJ8AE, an abridged version of the Eighth Edition of Manual J, provides complete instructions for estimating heat loss and heat gain for residential structures. MJ8AE is sufficient for learning the Manual J procedures and for undertaking hand calculations on a varied number of home applications.

You can apply the Manual D procedure to constant volume systems and zoned variable air volume systems, over a full range of duct construction materials.

Manual J 8th Edition is the national ANSI recognized standard for producing HVAC equipment sizing loads for single-family detached homes, small multi-unit structures, condominiums, town houses, and manufactured homes. A proper load calculation, performed in accordance with the Manual J 8th Edition procedure, is required by national building codes and most state and local jurisdictions.

The New Fifth Edition of Manual N® details the load calculation procedure that addresses the advances in the commercial construction industry: new materials, methods of assembly, and operational requirements
