It’s been four years since the American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE) last held its convention and expo. The normally biannual event was canceled in the fall of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s easy to believe that the organization — and its members — are ready to get back to business. The 2022 ASPE Convention & Expo returns Sept. 16-21 in Indianapolis.

ASHRAE presented 32 Society scholarships, totaling $168,000, for the 2022-2023 academic year.

The new education facility will offer a 34-credit plumbing certificate program. 

Manufacturers’ representative Specified Systems and REHAU teamed up to donate RAUPEX crosslinked polyethylene (PEXa) pipe, EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve fittings and F1960 cold expansion fittings to the $18 million new training facility.

The webinar, Cross-Connection Control & Backflow Prevention, will be broadcast live on Tuesday, Aug. 16, at 2 p.m. ET.

The five-day event includes eight conference tracks, over 80 sessions, tours, social experiences and industry-specific committee meetings.

The 2022 ASPE Convention & Expo will take place Sept. 16-21 in Indianapolis. 

Along with cutting-edge technology, Bell & Gossett has reinforced its emphasis on hands-on training with dedicated space for three new demonstration areas that feature functional displays of equipment for a variety of commercial and industrial applications, including variable speed controller technology, plumbing products and service and maintenance.

The fourth edition of "Modern Hydronic Heating & Cooling, for Residential and Light Commercial Buildings" will be available through major booksellers on April 1.

The A. O. Smith University schedule changes from month-to-month, offering sessions on a variety of topics, including residential, commercial, tankless and heat pump water heaters.
