Raleigh Chapter
Some exciting things
have been taking place at
ASPE Raleigh that we would
like to share;
· The 2014/2015 Chapter Board was introduced at
the September 16, 2014
monthly technical meeting at
the NC State University Club
in Raleigh: Jim Ellard, CPD,
Chapter President; Nelson
Bullard, Vice President –
Technical; Leif Lindahl, CPD,
VP - Legislative; Drew King,
VP – Membership; and Scott
Sansbury - Treasurer. Congratulations to all.
· The Raleigh Chapter
sent 4 delegates to the 2014
ASPE Convention and Exposition in Chicago, IL from
September 20-24. This
event was also a celebration
of the 50th anniversary of the
founding of the society.
There were hundreds of exhibitors at the Expo, and attendees were also able to
attend technical sessions to
further their education and
earn CEUs to maintain their
professional registrations.
Dan Hampton, a professional football Hall of Famer
and former Super Bowl
champion with the Chicago
Bears, was the keynote
speaker to open the show.

President’s Message
It’s hard to believe the
summer is already over, Fall
is in the air, and of course
time to get back to ASPE.
I know Danny Revilla, VP
Technical is hard at work
with ASPE National to bring
some interesting workshops
to our Chapter. These work-
George C. Fowler, III,
PE, CPD, President
shops are tentatively scheduled for January 2015.
Some of the exciting topics
include an all day REVIT
training session along with
a medical gas design class.
Additional topics are still
under consideration. Be on
the lookout for the sign-up
information for these work
shops soon.
On a sadder note, John
Clark, Charlotte Chapter
Treasurer, has accepted a
position with Woodford Mfg.
Co. His new postionwill require him to relocate to
Colorado Springs, Co. by
the end of the month. We
would like to thank John for
all of his years of service to
our Chapter and would like
to wish him well in his future
endeavors. We will miss you
John…
Finally, our meetings are
typically on the fourth Tuesday of every month. However, the ASPE Convention
in Chicago is being held
during that week. Due to
this conflict we will be moving September’s meeting
from the 22ndto Sept. 30th.
Please make a note of it. As
for the Convention, this
marks the 50thAnniversary
of this great organization. I
hope some of our membership has an opportunity to
attend. With that, I would
like to recognize the sponsors of this great event.

President’s Message
Charlotte Chapter
V.P. Technical
by Danny Revilla, CPD V.P. Technical
Fellow members, September 30thwill be our first
meeting of the year, this
change is predicated by the
fact that the 2014 ASPE Convention being held in Chicago falls on the week we
would normally meet. The
good news is that this will
allow us, your delegates, to
bring back some of the technical programs presented at
the Convention to you.
I will be announcing the
topic for our first meeting via
email upon my return from
the event. We hope to have
a much better program for
you this year. In January the
Society will be bringing several technical programs to
Charlotte. Included are a
Plumbing Design Workshop
(Intermediate level), a
Plumbing and Piping REVIT
Workshop and possibly a
Medical Gas or a Green
Plumbing Design Workshop.
These will be held the second or third week in January
and will give you a chance
at obtaining several CEU or
PDH contact hours. We are
looking forward to these programs and will have more for
information you in the next
couple of months
I am still looking at some
form of sponsorship program for our meetings so
that we may bring them to
you for free.
I have several interested
parties, and I hope to be
able to fill the meeting calendar with them. Please do
not let cost be the reason
why you chose not to participate in the monthly meetings, they are an opportunity
for you to learn and exchange ideas and knowledge with fellow plumbing
designers and engineers.
See you all in a couple of
weeks!

Greetings to all:
I would like to thank Tom
Sharp for his informative
session on the special cast
iron fittings that Charlotte
Pipe makes. Some of those
fittings really help in conserving space and getting
the pipe risers in place; and
I intend to use them on an
upcoming 4 story project if
at all possible.
As I write this article, the
2014 ASPE Convention and
50th anniversary celebration is now history. The following two paragraphs are
from Nick Cantu and his observations while at the convention. The first paragraph
concerns the design aspect
of our profession, and the
second paragraph is from
the key note speaker for the
convention.
There was a significant
increase at this expo over
previous ones, in focus on
prevention or management
of legionella. One rising
technology by a subsidiary
of Kohler called Rada that
caught my eye was a family
of water management systems at the faucet, shower
valve, and mixing valve level.
This is a digital technology
that
works
together
wirelessly with faucets and
mixing valves to “allow the
user to operate, communicate and exchange information with the mixing valve to
deliver a range of inputs including duty flushing, thermal disinfections, temperature logging, routine water
usage information and valve
programming.” The target
market for this is the

emphasis on managing
legionella, I predict an increasing demand for this
type of technology, especially in high risk facilities
such as healthcare and
schools.
The second memorable
event was the key note address by former Chicago
Bears defensive tackle Dan
Hampton. He played for the
Bears during their glory days
from 1979 through about
1991 and was part of the
1985 super bowl winning
team. He spoke for nearly an
hour and delivered many humorous anecdotes about
other players and coaches.
His own story is amazing in
itself as he fell out of a tree at
age seven breaking both legs,
some other bones, and was
told by the doctors he would
never be able to run again.
He started his high school
career playing in the marching band. He had a particularly humorous tale regarding
“The Frigg” Perry who went to
Clemson and still lives in the
area. He also had a very emotional account of the great
running back Walter Peyton
who died at an early age some
years ago. Humor and stories
aside, his main point was that
the Chicago Bears had a successful team because every
member of the team was striving for the same goal and not
for their own individual goals.
This did not happen by accident. Coach Mike Ditka told
the team when he came on
board that everyone would
play as a member of the team
with the goal of winning the
championship or they would
no longer be on the team. A
great lesson that can be applied to any endeavor a person is involved in.
Have you ever sized and
specified a grease interceptor? Is it confusing trying to figure out what goes into the interceptor and what does not?
Most of the sizing programs I
have seen only calculate the
pot washing sink, and then
use a small on the floor grease
interceptor about the size of
a couple of suitcases stacked
on each other. Well, come out
to our next meeting on Tuesday October 7, where Hans
Haas, or a rep from Rockford,
will be presenting a session
on how to size grease interceptors for whole kitchens;
not just the pot sink.
