PPI releases new technical document, announces new online course
The Plastics Pipe Institute released a new technical document that reports on the association’s findings about the compatibility of plastic piping materials with chlorine dioxide when used in hot- and cold-water plumbing distribution systems. Prepared by PPI’s Building & Construction Division, PPI TN-67 Chlorine Dioxide and Plastic Hot- And Cold-Water Plumbing Distribution Pipes focuses on the application of chlorine dioxide within buildings and its potential effects on plastic hot- and cold-water plumbing distribution pipe materials.

Also, PPI’s newest online course, PEX Tubing for Water Service Line Applications, is now available on its PPI eLearn channel. It provides a self-directed learning opportunity for professionals in the plumbing and underground infrastructure industries and CEU credit will be awarded to those completing the ASPE-accredited course. The class is based on requirements of the updated industry standard AWWA C904-22 Crosslinked Polyethylene Pressure Tube, 1/2 Inch Through 3 Inch for Water Service, the ANSI-approved standard for PEX tubing intended to deliver potable water into homes and buildings.
