The Wash Station Challenge 2021, which launched June 1, is a collaboration with the DigDeep Navajo Water Project, the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing, Pipefitting and Sprinkler Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada (UA), and Ferguson.
There were 347 changes proposed to the Uniform Plumbing Code, and 349 code changes proposed to the Uniform Mechanical Code. While the numbers seem high, they are actually consistent with previous code change cycles.
The primary cost savings are associated with reduced diameter water service entrances, interior cold water mains/branches, interior hot water mains/branches, fittings, labor, and appurtenances.
