The next section is 605.5 This has to do with deleting the PEX and PEX-aluminum tubing. This is item 21 on the ordinance. What I have done is delete the PEX and the PEX aluminum and keeping the deletion of the PB tubing. I still think they have a way to go to perfect their connections. Chuck Keim—If there is an engineered design which comes in and is using one of these types of tubing,will they be automatically rejected? Thomas Talboom—We would look at test data or information submitted that would show it does meet the-health and life safety provisions of the code. Kathleen Kelly—City Council has passed this ordinance as it was recommended by this Board on first reading. They will still be able to do second reading amendments to the ordinance. So the City Council will be looking for recommendations from this Board as to what those amendments should be. Thomas Talboom-The next section is section 701 8, engineered sanitary drainage systems. We had deleted that in its entirety This is one we will be puttmg back in. Thomas Talboom-Kathleen, section 714 refers to computerized drainage systems,which we don't want,how do we handle that. Kathleen Kelly—We would set this entire section forth in the ordinance and delete the reference to 714 Thomas Talboom-Next is section 901 6, engineered venting systems. We will look to put this back into the ordinance. Including the reference to section 918, complete engmeered vent system. Kathleen Kelly—Do you want to add table 918.2. Thomas Talboom—Yes. Chuck Keim—So item 53 on page 9 should also have a double strike through. Thomas Talboom—Yes. It should be added back in because it refers to table 918.2. Chuck Keim—Item 51 on page 9 is air admittance valves. I think we should leave it as it is written now Are we gomg to pursue that after adoption. Tom Talboom—At the present time I have looked at those administratively on a case by case bases. 2
