monthly meeting on October

CPHCCA’s Chapter attorney Ned McNaughton discussed a recent court decision that may have farreaching effects on warranties currently being given by
the members.
The Case in question is
Christie v. Hartley Construction, Inc., NC Court of Appeals case No. COA121385.Seven years after the
completion of their custom
home, the homeowners complained that the ‘GrailCoat’
exterior finish system was
not waterproof, as repreCONTINUED on PAGE 8A
A good friend recently
found that his insurance had
been cancelled and became
one of the first people to attempt to navigate the maze
of the Affordable Health
Care Act of 2013. He said
the process was much
quicker than he’d anticipated. The enrollment process only took a little over 6
hours.
Notification arrived that
he had been assigned a
doctor. That’s right- assigned a doctor. He made an
appointment for a visit the
following day. I wasn’t allowed to accompany him so
I insisted he stealthily record
the visit. He agreed. However, upon his arrival at the
doctor’s office, his recorder
was seized. The following is
his recollection of his introductory meeting.
The office was located in
an exclusive industrial park
which was no surprise. The
décor of the office was just
as elegant and impressive.
My friend (we’ll call him Al)
was surprised to see diplomas for a BS in Political Science, and Masters in Community Organization proudly
displayed rather than the
usual medical degrees.
This was a prophetic precursor to the initial interview with
the good doctor. It went as
follows:
Al enters the office and
greeted the receptionist.
“Good morning I’m Al Jackson here to see Dr. Holliday.”
He hears a thumping sound
from the doctor’s office. “Is
everything Ok in there?”
“Oh yeah”, she replies.
That’s just his golf balls
missing the cup. I told you

Doc: That’s right. After
the new plan was introduced
a lot of doctors retired. Now,
how can I help you?
Al: But you’re not really
a doctor.
Doc: No, but I had to
read several books on the
subject, some were over 100
pages long. And, I have an
iPad with internet access to
WebMD. What else do I
need? So, what can I do for
you?
Al lifts his shirt and reveals an ugly rash.
Al: What does this look
like to you?
Doc: Wow, I’ve never
seen anything like that before. Oh, now I see.
Al: See what?
Doc: I see what it looks
like- sort of like a sunset in
the mountains.
Al: I mean what type of
rash does it look like?
Doc: Medically speaking.
I don’t know, I’ve never seen
anything like it.
Al: What kind of answer
is that?
Doc: Well I haven’t, but
then again I don’t know that
many people. Well, make
sure you don’t scratch it.
Al: Don’t worry it doesn’t
itch. Your answer doesn’t
help. What should I do?
Doc: Probably not think
about it.
Al: WHAT?
Doc: You know try to think
about something else- like a
good joke or a riddle.
Al: Are you serious?
Doc: Oh yeah, like one of
my favorites is “What has 18
arms & legs & catches flies?
Tough one, isn’t it?
Al: Thanks a lot, Doc.
By the way, I need you to
look at my ankle.
Doc: Well, let me see it.
Al shows the swollen
ankle to the doctor.
Doc: Huh oh.
Al: What do you mean
huh oh?
Doc: I think you should
stay off of it for a month or
two.
Al: It’s my foot- I can’t stay
off of it for a month or 2. I
travel for a living.
Doc: Just find something
to do sitting down. Why not
try Sodoku or crossword
puzzles, they can can take
up a couple of hours easily.
Is there anything else I can
help you with?
Al: You haven’t helped
me yet. You just told me not
to scratch something that
doesn’t itch, to take my mind
off of a problem by thinking
about some stupid riddle
and to avoid walking to heal
a swollen ankle- you call that
help?
Doc: I think that’s a lot of
Page 3A
good advice in just an
hour’s visit to my office.
Al: An hour, I haven’t
been here 20 minutes and
you haven’t helped me at all.
Doc: I know it hasn’t been
an hour but you insurance
plan states that any part of
an hour is rounded up to a
full hour.
Al: You mean you’re
charging me for this and
you’re rushing me out so
you can make your tee time.
Doc: I’m not rushing you
out for my tee time, I have
another appointment in 30
minutes.
Al: Lunch. Right?
Doc: Right.
After giving the receptionist/secretary/nurse his
insurance card & credit card
to pay $750 for nothing, Al
hears the Doc call out, “By
the way – A baseball team .
Al: Excuse me. What
about a baseball team?
Doc: It’s the answer to the
riddle.
Al:No kidding, Doc.
Doc: And remember,
don’t scratch that ankle.
I don’t know about you,
but this example certainly
gives me confidence that our
health care system is in
good hands.

Ferguson is a diverse
wholesale distributor with
operations spanning multiple
business groups. The company is ranked by trade publications as the largest distributor of plumbing supplies
and pipe, valves and fittings
(PVF). It is also the third
largest distributor of heating

In 1953, Ferguson was

cations. The next five decades saw phenomenal
growth, with the company
doubling in size every five
years. In 1982, Wolseley plc,

Primax Pink Warriors was diagnosed with triple negative
breast cancer. Today, Carl
and Nancy can report that
both Rita and Laura are now
cancer survivors due to early
detection and treatment.
After supporting these
two organizations for several
years, Carl and Nancy decided they wanted to do
something more and decided to sponsor this charity
golf tournament to benefit
The American Cancer Society and Making Strides
Against Breast Cancer. Already in the planning
stages, sadly, Carl lost his
sister Donna to cancer in
June 2013. Then only four
short weeks later, Carl's
Mother, Margaret was diagnosed with breast cancer
and is currently undergoing
aggressive treatment.
Nancy Travis stated,
"The goal of this event was
to raise money for The
American Cancer Society
and Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer in addition to
raising awareness of breast
cancer, not only for women,
but men as well. The
weather was perfect, the
Carolina Plumbing News - September - October, 2013
course was in great shape
and everyone seemed to
have a good time, for a
good cause."
The final amount of donations for these organizations is expected to exceed
$6,000. Plans are already
in the works for the 2nd Annual Charity Golf Tournament.
The 2013 Making Strides
Against Breast Cancer Walk
will be October 19th at 9:00
a.m. at The NASCAR Hall of
Fame 400 E. Martin Luther
King Blvd, Charlotte, NC.

Matco-Norca Offers New
Lead-free CPVC Brass
Adapter Fittings
For use in new or retrofit
installations in residential
and light commercial plumbing systems, Matco-Norca
offers new lead-free CPVC
brass adapter fittings in time
for the federal lead-free
mandate. The adapter fittings come with a durable
overmolded one-piece fitting
that eliminates a union tailpiece connection and stops
a possible leak path. Its endpiece with slip connection
also is made of molded
CPVC.
Completing the adapter
fitting is a forged tail-piece

that helps maintain a sense
of orientation when troubleshooting. The VIS 500 is
ideal for inspecting while on

that “companies that look to
the future to advance, succeed; those who hunker

ASPE/ANSI 45-2013 Receives
ANSI Approval
The American Society of
Plumbing Engineers (ASPE)
is pleased to announce that
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has
approved ASPE/ANSI 452013: Siphonic Roof Drainage as an American National
Standard.
ASPE became an ANSIaccredited standards developer in May 2012, and its
first initiative was submitting
ASPE 45, originally published in 2007, for approval
as an American National
Standard. The Working
Group headed by Chair Peter Kraut, PE, utilized ASPE’s
ANSI-accredited standards
development procedures
and public review to thoroughly revise the standard
for publication.
“The group worked tirelessly for more than a year,
discussing and debating the
best practices from our collective experiences. We had
representation from engineering, manufacturing, and
contracting as well as professionals involved in other
national standards,” says
Peter, who is President of
South Coast Engineering
Group, Inc. in Calabasas,
California. “The final product
is an exemplary standard
that clearly defines the way
siphonic roof drainage
should be designed. I am
extremely proud of the Working Group, ASPE's Main Design Standards Committee,
and all of the volunteers and
staff at ASPE who made this
happen.”
This new American National Standard establishes
the minimum performance
specifications for siphonic
roof drainage systems and is
intended to provide designers, installers, and code officials with a standard of
practice for the proper application of siphonic roof drainage. ASPE/ANSI 45 applies
to engineered siphonic roof
drainage systems intended
to prime and operate fullbore through proper pipe dimensioning and the use of
siphonic roof drains. It does
not apply to conventional
roof drains covered under
ANSI/ASME A112.6.4, atmospheric roof drainage systems, or sanitary drainage
systems.
“ASPE is committed to
developing design standards for the construction
industry to help ensure the
consistent engineering and
installation of safe, water-ef-
SECTION B: COMMERCIAL / INDUSTRIAL
ficient, and energy-conserving plumbing systems,” says
ASPE Executive Director/
CEO Jim Kendzel, MPH,
CAE. “ASPE/ANSI 45 is just
the first of many American
National Standards ASPE
plans to develop for our
members and the plumbing
engineering industry at
large.”

Artifacts, A New Bathroom Faucet
Collection from Kohler Co.
Inspired by turn-of-thecentury charm and backed
by the Kohler Company’s
140 years of quality craftsmanship, the KOHLER Artifacts bathroom faucet collection brings a new level of
personalization to the bath.
Artifacts invites the homeowner to confidently select
details that reflect a taste
and style that is theirs alone
by choosing from three
spouts and three handles—
all available in five finishes.
“There’s this undeniable
thrill that comes with discovering a piece that resonates
with your design aesthetic,
whether it’s an antique un-
covered at a salvage shop
or a vintage treasure
snatched up from your travels,” says Julie Kober, Kohler
Faucets product manager.
“Curating your own Artifacts
faucet evokes that same feeling.”
And just as classic design
sees a resurgence in
kitchen and bath trends, the
introduction of the Artifacts
collection couldn’t be more
timely. Its Edwardian roots
play well in traditional and
transitional baths—even in
modern spaces, where its
timeless form offers an historic juxtaposition for a more
eclectic aesthetic. Fifteen
accessories, including a
tumbler, soap dispenser and
a toilet paper carriage make
it easy to create a complete,
cohesive look.
Artifacts’ design may embody all that is old world, but
its digital experience is anything but. On kohler.com,
homeowners and members of the trade can explore the collection’s design possibilities with a
configurator tool that allows users to get a realistic visualization of how
the different spouts,
handles and finishes interplay from the comfort
of their own home,
whether its on a laptop, tablet or mobile device. Faucet
designs can then be shared
through social media outlets
such as Facebook, Twitter,
Google+ and Pinterest.
“Making the online shopping
experience interactive not
only better serves the consumer, but helps capture the
essence of the collection
and ignites inspiration for the
space,” Kober says, which is
especially important given
recent findings from a Harris Interactive poll: 45 percent of those surveyed turn
to their smartphones to research products, while 81
percent research on their
PCs. “While Artifacts reflects
the growing trend in traditional design, it reflects the
even bigger trend of empowering the consumer to create something truly her
own—and Artifacts is right in
line with both.”
Murray Supply Company Is Your Source For
T&S Brass Electronic Sensor Faucets
The impact of sensor faucets on the plumbing industry is undeniable. Not only
have these “touchless” faucets given us the ability to
regulate water flow rates to
allow more sensible use of
both water and energy, but
the magical “hands free”
operation has directly contributed to improving public
hygiene and sanitation.
Germs that might have been
transferred from one set of
hands to another now go directly down the drain. And,
as the quality of sensor faucets has continued to improve, features such as lowbattery indicator lights, automatic time-outs and vandal-resistant aerators have
brought additional benefits
such as decreased water
usage, reduced maintenance time and lower repair
costs.
Electronic sensor faucets, which flow at a pre-determined rate, are an excellent first step toward reducing water consumption in
your operation. Depending
on your situation, you could
save one to three gallons
per hand wash and upwards
of 50 gallons in the course
of a day.
As much as anything, the
primary benefit of today’s
electronic sensor faucets is
their customization and flexibility. With the EC-3100 series offered by T&S Brass,
you have the choice of AC,
DC or hydrogenerator
power. The hydrogenerator
option allows faucets to generate power purely through
the force of running water,
and the end result is a dramatic savings of both water
and energy. The EC-3106
faucet offers a combination
sensor/manual design so
customers can choose the
option that works best for a
particular situation. And
while you will find multiple
T&S Brass faucets that
come with traditional, belowdeck electronic configurations at Murray Supply Company, you will also find the EC3122 faucet that features all
above-deck electronics. Besides making maintenance a
breeze, the above-deck design eliminates the need for
a control module or mechanical mixing valve underneath
the counter, significantly re-
ducing the risk of vandalism.
Above deck electronics also
give the end-users the option
to adjust water temperatures
themselves.
21st century technology
and the innate desire to create the next best thing will undoubtedly continue to spawn
plumbing improvements that
will revolutionize our daily lives
win ways we can’t even imagine. Hopefully, new faucet designs will continue to provide
improved and innovative ways
of using and conserving our
natural resources. Murray
Supply Company will always
be your one source for economically friendly and energy
saving plumbing products,
and hopefully, the time is close
when, around the world,
clean, safe, running water is
just an outstretched hand
away.
Murray Supply Company
is engaged in the distribution of residential and commercial plumbing supplies,
PVF, HVAC, power and process piping along with maintenance, repair and operations products. To learn
