cUPC vs UPC vs WaterSense: Daim ntawv pov thawj twg puas yog koj qhov dej num North American xav tau tiag tiag?

Cov lus teb luv luv yog tias Teb Chaws Asmeskas cov kav dej kav dej yog qhov tawg, thiab WaterSense tau tsim rau lub hom phiaj sib txawv ntawm cov kav dej.

Lub tebchaws United States tsis siv ib lub teb chaws cov kav dej. Hloov chaw, ib lub xeev tau txais ib qho ntawm ob tus qauv code - lossis qee zaum, ib qho kev sib txuas ntawm lawv tus kheej:

International Plumbing Code (IPC)- luam tawm los ntawm International Code Council (ICC), tau txais los ntawm kwv yees li 37 lub xeev suav nrog New York, Texas, Florida, thiab feem ntau ntawm East Coast thiab Midwest.

Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC)- luam tawm los ntawm IAPMO, tau txais los ntawm ib ncig ntawm 13 lub xeev, tsom mus rau sab hnub poob: California, Washington, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, thiab Montana.

Canada ua haujlwm raws li National Plumbing Code of Canada (NPC), tab sis rau kev ua raws li cov khoom lag luam, cov cim cUPC muab los ntawm IAPMO R&T yog cov cim kev pom zoo thoob plaws txhua lub xeev Canadian.

WaterSense yog ib qho kev pabcuam cais tawm los ntawm US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Nws tsis yog cov kav dej raws txoj cai cim npe - nws yog cov dej yeem ua haujlwm tau zoo- daim ntawv lo, zoo ib yam li lub zog hnub qub daim ntawv lo ntawm cov khoom siv. Ob lub tshuab muaj nyob ib sab tab sis ua haujlwm sib txawv.

Lub cim cUPC yog muab los ntawmIAPMO R&T(Cov Kev Tshawb Fawb & Kev Tshawb Fawb Kev Tshawb Fawb ntawm International Association of Plumbing thiab Mechanical Officials). IAPMO tau lees paub cov khoom siv kav dej txij li xyoo 1940s thiab tau lees paub los ntawm American National Standards Institute (ANSI), uas muab nws cov ntawv pov thawj muaj zog muaj cai nyob thoob plaws North America.

Tus "c" hauv cUPC sawv cev rau Canada - tab sis lub cim tam sim no yog tus qauv kev sib haum xeeb rau cov kav dej thiab cov khoom siv tu cev hauv Tebchaws Meskas thiab Canada. Cov khoom lag luam nrog daim ntawv pov thawj cUPC tam sim no tau:

✔ Kev ntsuam xyuas ywj siablos ntawm IAPMO-cov chaw kuaj mob tau lees paub

✔ Kev ntsuam xyuas tawm tsam cov cai cailos ntawm UPC thiab IPC lub moj khaum

✔ Pom zoo rau npenyob rau hauv IAPMO Product Listing Directory, uas yog pej xeem tshawb nrhiav

✔ Raws li kev tshawb xyuas lub Hoobkas tsis tu ncua- ntawv pov thawj tsis yog ib qho kev xeem - sij hawm; IAPMO ua cov kev tshuaj xyuas cov kab ntau lawm ib ntus txhawm rau txheeb xyuas qhov sib xws

Rau ceramic sanitary ware - dab dej, phiab, pedestals, chav dej, tso zis - cUPC cim yog thawj txoj cai raws li daim ntawv pov thawj yuav tsum tau rau installation nyob rau hauv kev lag luam, tsev so, vaj tse, thiab pej xeem lub tsev tej yaam num thoob plaws lub US thiab Canada.

UPC daim ntawv pov thawj (tsis muaj "c") kuj tau muab los ntawm IAPMO R&T, thiab nws tau lees paub ua raws li Txoj Cai Kev Siv Hluav Taws Xob tshwj xeeb. Cov tswv yim sib txawv rau feem ntau cov neeg yuav khoom:

UPC ib leeg- npog US UPC-cov xeev (kwv yees li sab hnub poob US). Yog tias koj tab tom nrhiav rau lub tsev so California lossis Arizona chav tsev, UPC - cov khoom cim npe tshem tawm cov spec.

UPC ib leeg- tsis npog Canada. Yog tias ib chav nyob hauv koj daim ntawv xaj xa mus rau Canadian chaw nyob, koj xav tau cUPC.

UPC ib leeg- tej zaum yuav tsis raug lees txais hauv IPC xeev. Qee qhov kev txiav txim siab IPC yuav lees txais cUPC- cov khoom lag luam (vim IPC thiab UPC ob qho tib si siv ANSI cov qauv), tab sis qhov kev xav nyab xeeb rau hla - lub xeev kev yuav khoom yog cUPC.

Hauv kev xyaum, feem ntau cov tuam txhab lag luam uas dhau los ntawm IAPMO daim ntawv pov thawj rau kev xa tawm tau txais lub cim cUPC, tsis yog UPC ib leeg, vim tias nws npog tag nrho North American lag luam. Yog tias tus neeg muag khoom muab koj "UPC ntawv pov thawj" cov khoom lag luam thiab koj tab tom nrhiav rau ntau- lub xeev faib network lossis ib tus account Canadian, qhia meej seb lawv tuav tag nrhocUPCnpe - tsis yog UPC xwb.

WaterSense yog EPA kev yeem koom tes nrog kev koom tes tsim tawm xyoo 2006, ua qauv tom qab Energy Star. Cov khoom nqa WaterSense daim ntawv lo tau raug lees paub ntawm nws tus kheej kom tsawg kawg 20% ​​dej ntau dua -ntau dua li cov qauv qauv thaum tseem ua tau raws li qhov yuav tsum tau ua.

Ntawm no yog qhov tseem ceeb sib txawv buyers tau yuam kev:WaterSense tsis yog ib qho kev ua raws cai kav dej.Nws tsis tuaj yeem hloov pauv rau cUPC lossis UPC. Tus kws tshuaj xyuas lub tsev kuaj xyuas cov khoom siv "sau npe" yuav tsis lees txais daim ntawv lo WaterSense nyob rau hauv qhov chaw ntawm cUPC ntawv pov thawj.

Dab tsi WaterSense tau npog

Raws li xyoo 2025, WaterSense daim ntawv lo siv rau:

✔ Tank - hom chav dej(tso npe txij li xyoo 2007; Tsawg dua lossis sib npaug rau 1.28 gpf tus qauv pib txij Lub Xya Hli 2025)

✔ Lavatory / chav dej faucets(labeled txij li xyoo 2007; cov ntawv sau v2.0 spec luam tawm Lub Kaum Ob Hlis 2024, qhov kawg xav tau 2025)

✔ Da dej taub hau(labeled txij thaum 2010)

✔ Flushometer- valve chav dej(tso npe txij li xyoo 2015)

✔ Cov zis(tso npe txij li xyoo 2009)

Ceramic dab dej thiab ntxhua khaub ncaws - lub cev fixture nws tus kheej -tsis them los ntawm WaterSense.WaterSense siv rau ntws- tswj cov khoom (faucets, chav dej, da dej), tsis yog rau lub tais ceramic. Yog tias tus neeg muag khoom lees tias lawv lub dab da dej ceramic yog "WaterSense tau ntawv pov thawj," qhov kev lees paub yog qhov tsis raug - lawv yuav txhais tau tias cov faucet sib xws yog WaterSense rated, tab sis lub phiab nws tus kheej tsis yog WaterSense khoom qeb.

WaterSense labeling yuav cuam tshuam rau hauv cov xwm txheej tshwj xeeb:

LEED-cov ntawv pov thawj kev tsim vaj tsev- WaterSense fixtures pab txhawb rau LEED Water Efficiency credits

Green tsev specifications- qee lub tsev so thiab cov neeg tsim khoom vaj khoom tsev suav nrog WaterSense hauv lawv cov FF&E specifications raws li lub teeb liab sustainability

Lub xeev - tshwj xeeb cov dej num ua haujlwm- Piv txwv li, California tau txais qhov yuav tsum tau muaj kev txwv tus nqi ntws rau cov faucets uas ua raws li cov lus qhia ntawm WaterSense

Federal kev yuav khoom- Cov tuam tsev tseemfwv hauv tebchaws Meskas feem ntau xav tau WaterSense- cov khoom muaj npe nyob rau hauv Executive Order

Rau feem ntau ntawm kev kho tsev so, ntau- tsev neeg nyob hauv tsev, thiab chav dej ua lag luam, WaterSense yog qhov zoo -rau- muaj nyob rau ntawm tus faucet spec - tsis yog raws li qhov yuav tsum tau ua ntawm cov khoom siv ceramic. Tsis txhob cia tus neeg muag khoom ntim nws nrog cUPC zoo li lawv yog cov ntawv pov thawj sib npaug.

Qhov kev sib txawv no tseem ceeb vim tias txoj cai koj txoj haujlwm txiav txim siab siv cuam tshuam rau daim ntawv pov thawj lub tsev tshuaj ntsuam xyuas yuav nrhiav rau ntawm koj daim ntawv qhia tshwj xeeb.

Lub tswv yim upshot rau wholesale buyers thiab project procurement teams: cUPC is the safest single specification to put in your vendor requirements, because it was accepted in two IPC and UPC jurisdictions, and in all Canadian province. Koj yuav tsis muaj cov khoom uas hla hauv California tab sis ua tsis tiav hauv New York.

Qhov no yog qhov uas muaj ntau yam khoom yuam kev tshwm sim. Tus neeg muag khoom tuaj yeem luam lub logo cUPC rau ntawm daim ntawv qhia. Dab tsi tseem ceeb yog seb cov qauv khoom tshwj xeeb tshwm nyob rau hauv IAPMO Product Listing Directory nrog cov xwm txheej tam sim no, nquag.

Nov yog cov txheej txheem pov thawj:

Kauj ruam 1:Mus rau IAPMO R&T Product Listing Directory ntawm iapmort.org

Kauj ruam 2:Nrhiav los ntawm lub npe chaw tsim khoom, tus lej qauv khoom, lossis tus lej IAPMO cov ntaub ntawv

Kauj Ruam 3:Paub meej tias cov xwm txheej teev npe yog 'Active' - tsis tas sijhawm lossis raug ncua

Kauj Ruam 4:Txheeb xyuas tus lej qauv uas tau teev tseg raws nraim tus qauv koj xaj

Kauj ruam 5:Thov daim ntawv pov thawj IAPMO daim ntawv pov thawj los ntawm cov chaw tsim khoom - tus neeg muag khoom raug cai yuav muab nws yam tsis muaj kev cuam tshuam

Cov chij liab saib rau:

✘ Tus neeg muag khoom muab daim ntawv pov thawj tab sis tus lej qauv tsis tshwm sim hauv IAPMO database

✘ Daim ntawv pov thawj qhia txog hnub tas sij hawm yav dhau los yam tsis muaj kev rov ua dua tshiab ntawm cov ntaub ntawv

✘ Daim ntawv pov thawj npog cov qauv sib txawv hauv tib tsev neeg cov khoom lag luam - tsis yog SKU tiag tiag uas koj tab tom xaj

✘ Tus neeg muag khoom thov WaterSense lossis CE daim ntawv pov thawj yog "sib npaug" rau cUPC - nws tsis yog

Q: Kuv qhov project nyob hauv California. Kuv puas xav tau cUPC lossis UPC?

California siv UPC, yog li UPC-cov khoom muaj ntawv pov thawj ua tau raws li qhov yuav tsum tau ua hauv paus code. Txawm li cas los xij, yog tias koj lub network faib npog lwm lub xeev lossis cov neeg siv khoom Canadian, qhia cUPC - nws siv tau txhua qhov chaw UPC yuav tsum tau, thiab tseem nyob hauv IPC xeev thiab Canada. Feem ntau cov neeg siv khoom muaj kev paub dhau los ua rau cUPC vim li no.

Q: Tus neeg muag khoom hais tias lawv cov khoom yog "CE tau ntawv pov thawj." Puas yog qhov zoo ib yam li cUPC rau North America?

Tsis muaj - cov no yog cov ntawv pov thawj sib cais tag nrho rau cov lag luam sib txawv. CE (Conformite Europeenne) yuav tsum muaj rau cov khoom muag hauv European Union. Nws tsis muaj kev cai lij choj nyob rau hauv North American kev soj ntsuam cov kav dej. Ib yam khoom muaj peev xwm tuav tau CE thiab cUPC, tab sis ib qho tsis hloov rau lwm tus. Nco ntsoov thov daim ntawv pov thawj cUPC tshwj xeeb rau North American cov haujlwm.

Q: Peb tab tom nrhiav rau LEED- ntawv pov thawj kho tsev so. Peb puas xav tau WaterSense ntawm lub dab dej?

Tsis nyob ntawm lub pas dej ceramic - WaterSense tsis npog lub cev fixture. Koj yuav xav tau WaterSense- cov faucets muaj npe (thiab cov chav dej, yog tias tsim nyog) kom tau txais LEED Water Efficiency credits. Ceramic pedestal dab ntxuav tes nws tus kheej xav tau cUPC rau kev ua raws cai, thiab qhov ntawd yog qhov yuav tsum tau ua los ntawm WaterSense daim ntawv lo rau ntawm cov khoom siv.

Q: Daim ntawv pov thawj cUPC ntev npaum li cas? Kuv puas tuaj yeem tso siab rau daim ntawv pov thawj peb xyoos dhau los?

cUPC ntawv pov thawj tsis tas mus li. IAPMO xav kom muaj kev tshawb xyuas lub Hoobkas txuas ntxiv los tswj cov npe. Daim ntawv pov thawj uas tau muab peb xyoos dhau los kuj tseem tuaj yeem ua haujlwm tau - lossis nws yuav tau lapsed yog tias lub Hoobkas ua tsis tiav kev tshuaj xyuas lossis tsis tau txuas ntxiv. Ib txwm txheeb xyuas qhov xwm txheej tam sim no hauv IAPMO phau ntawv teev npe ua ntej ua tiav daim ntawv xaj yuav khoom, tsis hais cov ntaub ntawv twg tus neeg xa khoom muab.

Q: Cov khoom puas tuaj yeem muaj cUPC thiab WaterSense ntawv pov thawj?

Yog - faucets nquag tuav ob qho tib si. Lub faucet tuaj yeem yog cUPC- teev rau kev ua raws cai THIAB nqa WaterSense daim ntawv lo rau kev ua dej. Rau cov dab dej ceramic thiab cov phiab, cUPC yog cov ntawv pov thawj cuam tshuam; WaterSense tsuas yog tsis siv rau cov khoom lag luam, yog li lo lus nug ntawm "ob leeg" tsis tshwm sim rau lub cev fixture nws tus kheej.

Cov lus tsis meej xws li "yuav tsum tau lees paub rau North America" ​​yog qhov ua rau muaj kev tsis sib haum xeeb thaum cov khoom xa tuaj nrog cov ntaub ntawv tsis raug. Nov yog cov lus tshwj xeeb uas kaw qhov sib txawv:
