From the Preface:This Design Guide 2002 replaces the previous edition published in 1988. The object of the Guide is to advance knowledge of plumbing technology to those engaged in plumbing design and system installation.
The Guide has been considerably enhanced utilising an easier to read three-column format, bound within a silver cover to celebrate the 25th Anniversary since the original Data Book was published.
Technology in the plumbing industry has changed considerably in the 14 years since the guide was last published. This edition seeks to include as much information as possible, on new technologies. Indeed, the Guide reflects as many of the changes related to UK plumbing technology of which we are aware.
Throughout the publication, several British Standards have been replaced by European Harmonised Standards. Many BS/EN Standards have now been brought together within the standards, codes and miscellaneous data section.
The water services section has been greatly expanded to include many additional design considerations arid to take account of the statutory requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 in England and Wales and the Water Bye(aws 2000 in Scotland.
The heating section has been completely re-written to concentrate on gas, as the most widely used heating medium. It also Includes information on systems and heahng appliances currently in use, including condensing boilers and wet under floor heating systems.
The sanitary plumbing and drainage section has changed significantly to reflect the requirements of BS EN 12056, which replaced BS 5572. This section has also been extended to include information on the technologies involved In vacuum drainage and syphonic rainwater disposal systems.
The piped gases section has undergone a major review and the section on steam now includes condensate recovery information.
Information on the design and installation of residential sprinkler systems is included for Itie first time, along with completely new sections on resource efficient design and swimming pools.
