*Franchise Times Monitor calculates the Fast 55 using the following methodology: 1) The brand has been franchising for five years or less. 2) They must exhibit positive franchise unit growth for
each year during this period. 3) They are awarded a ranking by the fastest unit growth during the last year. Rankings are neither approved nor supported by your applicable state franchise board.
**The source is Entrepreneur magazine and their Franchise 500® rating system, which annually initiates questionnaires to all known U.S. and Canadian franchisors. Judging criteria is financial
strength and stability, growth rate and size of the system, including the number of years in business and length of time franchising, startup costs, litigation, percentage of terminations and
whether financing is provided, and upon audited financials. Based upon the approximately 75% of responses they receive from the franchisors, scores are compiled for the past five years or
less, and those rankings are awarded in January.

Letters TO THE EDITOR
[Editor’s note: We get a lot of mail
that’s not your run-of-the-mill Letters
to the Editor.
For example, Ken Midgett, a
plumbing and heating instructor from
Lehigh Career & Technical Institute,
Schnecksville, Pa., recently e-mailed
us a request for eight subscriptions for
his students and orders for a “History
of Plumbing” compilation. When we
told him that our magazine is available digitally, he replied that “it’s the
home page on all their workstations”
now. As for the “History of Plumbing,”
keep in mind that it is only available
on CD, which can be ordered at www.
pmmag.com.
Gloria Sciulli, wife of Albert Sciulli,
the winner of our Tool Tips in October,
told us that Albert “thinks he’s the
smartest plumber in Pittsburgh” for
his winning tip. “Actually,” she added,
“he thought that before the article
came out.” Gloria thanked us for making “a happy plumber even happier!”]
Finish Line
The Finish Line. What thought
comes to mind from this phrase?
The Daytona 500, seeing your favorite driver being adored and doused
with champagne. Or maybe it’s the
Kentucky Derby, seeing your favorite
horse in the winner’s circle. Or it could
be your son or daughter’s school track
meet. The list goes on and on.
When will you cross your finish
line? What will that day be like? Will
it be a happy one? I’m sure we all
would hope so. Will it be the culmination of years of successful business?
Perhaps. Would you reflect back and
wonder what could have been? Maybe
we should have expanded the business,
built it up so we would see it survive
us to pass on to our children or to sell
it for more than lunch at McDonalds.
Maybe we should have gone to more
Frank Blau seminars, perhaps more
schooling?
4
Plumbing & Mechanical, December 2008
Editor@PMmag.com
The day will come, my friend,
maybe sooner than some of us would
like. Maybe it comes from too many
years of kneeling — on open joists,
cold cement, tile floors, in crawlspaces. Maybe your back will give out,
lifting too much — cast-iron tubs,
boilers, radiators, cast-iron soil pipe
and threading pipe. Maybe it will be
cancer — years of exposure to asbestos, dust and a host of other maladies
we are exposed to during the years.
Maybe an accident — being buried
alive alone in a trench or a fall.
I’ve been around awhile and a lot
has changed over the years as we are
all aware. The world will continue
to change. Competition today comes
from many fronts. Home Depot, Sears,
utilities that take away our business
opportunities. Seems like we have to
constantly change, pray we can keep
up, reinvent ourselves.
Maybe you’ve heard phrases
like, “I’d do the job myself, but I’m
too busy,” or “Wow, that’s a lot of
money!” You feel the anger and frustration of having to justify your
existence earning a living, raising
a family, putting food on the table,
keeping a roof over your head, and
trying to save or pay for your children’s education.
Sometimes we overload ourselves
trying to please others, trying to balance our hectic stressful lives, especially in this rush, rush life of today’s
world. Spending and wasting precious
time on countless free estimates. I
hope we learn by our mistakes. The
fortunate ones will. They say the
“strong will survive,” but maybe it’s
the smart ones that will.
Seems to me there is more awareness of our military today, more
patriotism, or so we are led to believe.
I wish the veterans would get more
than lip service and some flag waving. The disruption of their lives and
family goes as far back to when time
began, when one human threw a
stone at another to solve a problem.

Our politicians throw phases around and spend
our tax dollars and speak of billions of dollars.
We see the disparity in salaries, sport celebrities
making and getting multimillion-dollar contracts.
Hollywood actors making millions on just one
movie, while most of us wonder if there will ever be
any Social Security left when we hope to retire. That
maybe we will get back some of our hard-earned
money so many of us lost in the stock market. We
ponder if Medicare will carry us through and we do
not become a burden to our children or society.
This is a great country. I hope and pray it will
continue to be. I like to think it will. So we all can
share the winner’s circle of a well-lived life. Take care
of yourself and your family, be proud of what you do
and hold your head high. Hope to see you in the winner’s circle and your finish line will be a happy one!

Make Me Smile
[Editor’s note: Al Levi recently shared this e-mail
he received from an employee of his family’s business
in New York.]
Bob came over to me recently with your column
(“They Vote With Their Feet,” August 2008) and asked
if I had seen it. As I read with delight, I could almost
see your dad’s smiling face. Although I was not lucky
enough to have worked with him for very long, I do
remember him greeting me every morning.
Since I was a new employee at the time (eight
years ago; how time flies), it made me feel so good
to know that the owner, my new employer, actually
recognized me and took the time to exchange a few
kind words daily.
You are so right. It made me feel like I belonged,
that I was important in the operation of the business
and that in his way, he was making me feel like family. To be perfectly honest, I believe that it was one of
the major reasons I’ve stayed.
I took a cut in pay when I came here, too. Although
an income is very important, the feeling of belonging
held me here. Your column just gave me time to look
back and reflect. I have a smile on my face.
Thanks for allowing me to remember those early
days with your dad. I hope when others read the
article, they will see the importance of what your dad
did and how his thinking is so important.

Residential Fire Sprinkler Market
Could Exceed $3 Billion
by Kelly Faloon
7,100 installers will be
needed to accommodate the
ICC’s mandatory residential
fire sprinkler requirement
Plumbing contractors
have the knowledge to
fill the demand
The ability of local fire
departments to inspect
installations is a concern
8
Plumbing & Mechanical, December 2008
The adoption by the International
Code Council of an amendment to
the International Residential Code
that mandates the installation of fire
sprinklers in one- and two-family residences, effective Jan. 1, 2011, will significantly increase the market, according to a new report titled, “Residential
Fire Sprinklers Market Growth and
Labor Demand Analysis,” by Russ
Leavitt, SET, CFPS, with contributions by Steven Scandaliato, SET, and
Ryan J. Smith. The report noted that
the current single-family residential
fire sprinkler market, which is estimated at $90 million to $100 million
per year, could explode into a market
that is worth an estimated $2.9 billion
to $3.2 billion a year.
The report examines the repercussions that mandatory residential fire
sprinkler protection will have on the
skilled labor needs of the industry.
Based on the 40-year average of completed single-family dwellings, research
indicates that the residential fire sprinkler industry will require an additional
2,700 layout technicians, 7,100 installers and more than 1,300 plan reviewers
and inspectors to do the work.
Finding 7,100 new installation
technicians will require creativity to
fill these positions with qualified candidates, the report said. Fire sprinkler
system installation is much more than
pipe and fittings; the proper location
and position of each sprinkler head
is dependent on a variety of factors.
Recruiting and training to meet the
coming demand is essential to the
successful implementation of the IRC
requirements. The report stated that
plumbing contractors have the requisite knowledge to step in and fill this
demand.
PM columnist Julius Ballanco
noted that residential sprinkler systems
are easy to design and install, and that
plumbing contractors will be required
to go through education and training on such systems (“The Making
of History,” November 2008). While
they already know how to install pipe,
they need to learn where to locate the
sprinkler and how to size the system.
Ballanco explained that there are
two systems for residential fire sprinklers: 1) a multipurpose piping system, where the sprinkler system is
combined with the cold water distribution system; and 2) a stand-alone or
two-pipe system, where the sprinkler
piping and cold water distribution
system are separate. The market that
will be strictly for plumbing contractors will be the multipurpose piping
system market.
Another area of concern, the
report explained, is how local authorities will properly police the design
and installation of an additional 29
million sprinklers each year. Fire prevention bureaus in most professional fire departments throughout the
country are understaffed and undertrained for their current enforcement
duties without taking on the immense
workload created with the adoption
of the ICC residential fire sprinkler
requirements. Volunteer departments
are in no better position (and most
likely less equipped) than the paid
departments to handle the additional
enforcement duties.

I DON’T COMPROMISE
DEREK SAJDAK, OWNER, AQUA SCIENCE
The severely-tapped Colorado River supplies drinking
water for 1.5 million people in Phoenix, AZ. Water
conservation is not taken lightly.
Sajdak explains: “We are very aware of water usage.
Grundfos’ hot water recirculation system has become one
of the most popular products in our inventory.”
Two years ago, Sajdak installed a Comfort System. “The
family was happy to save water, time, and money, no
longer waiting for hot water at the taps or showers. The
run from the water heater took 60-90 seconds, wasting
several gallons of water each time, and incurring costs that
literally went down the drain. It’s gratifying to work with a
responsible solution like this, because it helps both the
customer and the community.”
Grundfos’ Hot Water Recirculation systems demonstrate
how Grundfos thinks ahead by their ability to save up a
household up to 16,000 gallons of water per year. Built-in
innovation allows operation to take place without requiring
a return line or electricity under the sink. That’s what we
call not compromising.

NAOHSM To Award Oil Heat Scholarships For 2009
The National Association of Oil
Heating Service Managers — with
sponsorship support from Delavan,
Honeywell, Taco and Weil-McLain —
will be awarding 10 oil heat education
scholarships in 2009 to people of any
age, provided that they further their
education within the oil heating field.
These $2,000 scholarships are awarded
in memory of Dave Nelsen, a wellrespected service manager and industry
educator who passed away in 1998.
Scholarships will be awarded to
the winning entrants who write and
submit a 500-word essay answering
the question, “What are your thoughts
about the oil heating industry and what
appeals to you about this segment of
the energy industry?” The essay, along
with a scholarship application available
at www.naohsm.org, should be submitted to the association’s national office
no later than March 20, 2009.
Winners will be announced in the
spring and will be invited to attend
the NAOHSM awards banquet during the association’s 56th convention
and trade show, May 17-21, 2009, in
Hershey, Pa.
NAOHSM’s annual Dave Nelsen
Scholarship Golf Tournament supports
the scholarship fund and is held during
the convention. To learn more about
the Dave Nelsen Scholarship Fund, visit
www.naohsm.org and click on “Industry
Support.” Applications are also available
by calling the NAOHSM national office
at 888/552-0900.

ISH Frankfurt Celebrates 50th Anniversary
In 2009, ISH Frankfurt will celebrate its 50th anniversary. During
March 10-14, the trade show will present a range of products and services
with about 2,400 manufacturers and
more than 200,000 visitors.
At The Bathroom Experience,
more than 700 exhibitors will present
sustainable, design-oriented solutions
for the bathroom under the motto,
“Water is Life.” The sanitation indus-
try will show: how water consumption can be reduced thanks to ultramodern technology; how wastewater
can be made into drinking water;
and how easy-care materials for the
bathroom can reduce the quantity of
cleaning agents used.
In the field of energy, buildingservices and air-conditioning technology, the industry will present green
building technologies — sustainable
solutions that use a combination of
energy efficiency, i.e., modern heating
and air-conditioning technology, and
renewable energies.

ConsensusDOCS Procedures, which describe how the
coalition organizations develop model construction contract documents and forms that advance a project’s best
interest. Rather than approach negotiations as a zerosum gain among competing interests, ConsensusDOCS
emphasizes a mutually beneficial approach that leads to
better project results.
According to the procedures, any nonprofit association
or professional society, company, government agency or
individual with a direct and material interest in a proposed
document has a right to have its views actively considered during the drafting process. An important principle
10
Plumbing & Mechanical, December 2008
throughout the procedures requires that all parties with a
stake in the contract have a voice that is heard in contract
negotiations.
The procedures also:
• Ensure that the ConsensusDOCS timely respond to
new case law developments and emerging industry issues;
• Establish a minimum five-year drafting cycle, and
establish a process for revising documents sooner, if needed;
and
• Establish structures for ConsensusDOCS document
development and marketing, including advisory councils
and an executive director.

Construction Market Will
Continue To Slide In 2009
McGraw-Hill Construction recently released its 2009
Construction Outlook, which forecasts a drop in overall
U.S. construction starts for next year as the tough funding environment continues, construction projects are
deferred and financial stress gradually eases. Against
this backdrop, the level of construction starts in 2009 is
expected to decline 7 percent to $515 billion, following
a 12 percent decline predicted for 2008.
Robert A. Murray, vice president of economic affairs
for McGraw-Hill Construction, said home prices have
dropped 20 percent so far this year, and are expected to
decline another 10 percent through the first half of 2009.
He also said store construction has taken the biggest hit;
retail square footage is at a 30 percent decline this year.
Highlights of the 2009 Construction Outlook include:
• Single-family housing for 2009 will be down 2
percent in dollars, corresponding to a 4 percent drop
in the number of units to 560,000 (McGraw-Hill
Construction basis).
Multifamily housing will retreat 6 percent in dollars
and 8 percent in units, after the sharp plunge witnessed
during 2008.
• Commercial buildings will drop 12 percent in dollars and 15 percent in square feet, similar to the declines
experienced in 2008. Stores and warehouses will continue to lose momentum, the office correction will be
steeper, and hotel construction will finally pull back
after its lengthy boom.
• Institutional buildings will slip 3 percent in dollars
and 6 percent in square feet, as the financial crisis affects
funding coming from states and localities.
• Manufacturing buildings will plunge 32 percent in
dollars after an exceptional 2008 that was lifted by the
start of several massive oil refinery expansion projects.
• Public works construction will fall 5 percent, given
flat funding at the federal level combined with restraint
by state and local governments.
• Electric utility construction will retreat 30 percent
after surging 55 percent to a near record amount in 2008.

Business TIPS
Randall Hilton
Charging lower
rates in this
economy won’t
instantly translate
W
into survival.
18
Plumbing & Mechanical, December 2008
e’ve been experiencing an economic rollercoaster. Credit is tightening,
unemployment is climbing, construction is declining; is it time to start
thinking about survival? Will we have
to cut jobs, lower prices or reduce
service in order to stay in business? To
figure out a strategy for the next couple
of years, let’s examine a few points.
Knowing how we got into this mess
can help us pick a way through it. “It’s
all their fault!” screams one batch of
politicians as they point at the others.
But once we get past the blame game,
we find that our consumer mentality
is, or near the core of, the issue. Credit
cards made it very easy to respond to
urgent desires without much thought
of future consequences.
Real estate agents encouraged overspending with homes as an investment
sales pitch. “Buy as much house as you
can possibly qualify for because home
values will go up and you’ll make a lot
of money!” (This probably explains
why, as a service pro, I would often
visit huge homes with several rooms
bare of furniture — after buying too
many square feet, nothing was left for
living in it.)
Now, to put it simply, our economy
is slowing down to take a breather.
Remember the last time you ran a lap
around a track? If you sprinted too
hard at the beginning, you had to walk
it out toward the end. Running at the
right pace would result in a better time
without being totally exhausted. After
our economy rests for a spell, it will
get back on track, it always has. So the
question becomes this: How do we get
through this period in order to flourish on the other side?
Our economic “sprint” allowed
some of us to get away with sloppy
business practices. Sloppy won’t be
good enough if we intend to survive
or even flourish. We’ll have to sharpen
our pencils, improve our efficiency and
make sure every dime makes an impact.
I fully expect some contractors will
even be forced to lower their prices in
order to stay busy. Yes, you read correctly — some contractors will have to
lower their rates, which is something I
have a hard time saying.
Here’s why rates may slip: Much of
our economy runs on credit cards. As
credit tightens, consumer purchasing
power is reduced, which reduces the
number of consumers with money to
spend on our services. To exacerbate
the problem, tradesmen and contractors idled by the construction bust
will be searching for whatever work
they can find, flooding the market
with more supply. When more supply
chases lower demand, prices must go
down. It’s the basic law of economics. But charging lower rates won’t
instantly translate into survival, so
don’t embrace the idea until you’ve
done your homework.
Homework Lesson No. 1 — Know
Your Costs: Frank Blau began this column preaching “know your costs,” and
that mantra continues to this day. If
competition gets tough, you may be
tempted to cut costs in order to survive.
But you can’t cut costs unless you know
what they are. This is where you have
to do some hard work. It’s not easy to
cut employees or other overhead items,
but you may find that you have more
overhead than justified.
Believe me, it’s hard to run around
the track while dragging a truck tire.
Homework Lesson No. 2 — Focus
On Impact: Slashing overhead improves
profits to a certain extent, but it doesn’t
necessarily put more money in your
pocket. At some point, cutting over-

Business TIPS
head ends up costing you more in
sales and efficiency than it saves. When
looking at costs, decide which items
directly affect sales and which don’t.
The more closely related to sales an
overhead item is, the more careful you
should be about cutting it.
It’s very tempting to cut out sales
training when times are tough, but this
is when you need to ramp up training
more than ever. Dollar-conscious customers need to understand the value
of your services because they have
to weigh your expense against all the
other expenses they’re juggling. Your
producers need to communicate well,
recognize customer-service opportunities and ask for the sale. The better
they’re trained, the more profitable
they will be.
Advertising often takes a hit as
if it were discretionary spending.
Focus on campaigns with good track
records while dropping those that are
marginal, but don’t stop advertising.
Advertising brings in opportunities.
In some cases, you’ll have to broaden
your outreach in order to bring new
customers into the fold. Be aware that
there are customers out there whose
long-time contractor won’t survive the
cut. They need to hear about you.
Homework Lesson No. 3 —
Charge What You’re Worth: Even
without price pressures, professional
trades like ours tend to be undervalued in the marketplace. The biggest
reason? Contractors just don’t ask for
what they’re worth. Most of the contractors I work with discover that their
true and legitimate cost of operation
actually exceeds their current selling
price. No wonder they’re not making
a profit! If you’re not earning a profit
now, you’ll be hard-pressed to scratch
out a living wage if prices contract.
Contractors who are charging
enough to cover benefit plans, train-

ing, good equipment and competitive
wages are usually found at the upper
rungs of the price ladder. These progressive contractors, who have welldeveloped customer bases and effective marketing programs, won’t face
as much price competition because
they’re serving a customer who is a bit
more immune to the credit squeeze
and already expects to pay more than
bottom-feeder prices.
Is it time to start cultivating your
customer base? Should you cut prices
to stay busy?
Either your customer can afford
service or she can’t. Let’s say that you
cut your selling price by 10 percent.
Do you think that a $50 savings is
enough to clinch the deal on a $500
sale? If your customer can afford
$450, then it’s very likely she can
afford $500 as well. It’s up to you to
make the case for the value of your
service, but if the money is there, 10

Business TIPS
percent won’t matter if your customer
is convinced that you’re offering a
good value. If times get tough enough
that price cuts are necessary, you may
be faced with price cuts of 20-30 percent just to get a sale. Can you handle
that sort of cut and still make a profit?
Consider these measures:
• Instead of simply cutting prices,
use coupons as a “thermometer” to
test the waters. Assuming that you’ve
done a good job of presenting your
benefits and value, if your customer
turns you down for a $500 job, offer
a $50-off coupon just to find out how
sensitive she is to the price. If your
customer decides to let you do the
job, then get it done. If not, offer one
last chance by offering an additional
$50 off if she is willing to accept a
concession, such as a shorter warranty period or lesser-quality product.
You may even find that half price isn’t
enough to close the deal because the
customer doesn’t have the money, not
because she doesn’t see the value.
• If you want to serve cash-strapped
customers, you’ll have to find a more
efficient way to do it. You could offer
a major discount for allowing you to

schedule service at your convenience
instead of theirs. If you can take care of
their job during a gap in your service
schedule, then you could offer a 30
percent discount and still be profitable — simply because you’re working
more efficiently. Everybody wins.

written for the process industries. This book covers the entire piping process, including the selection of
piping materials according to the job, the application of the materials and fitting, trouble-shooting techniques
for corrosion control, inspections for OSHA regulations, and even the warehousing, distributing, and
ordering of materials. There are books on materials, fitting, OSHA regulations, and so on, but this is the
only “one stop shopping” source for the piping engineer on piping materials.
Valve Selection Handbook - $105.95
Valves are the components in a fluid flow or pressure system that regulate either the flow or the pressure
of the fluid. They are used extensively in the process industries, especially petrochemical. Though there
are only four basic types of valves, there is an enormous number of different kinds of valves within each
category, each one used for a specific purpose. No other book on the market analyzes the use, construction,
and selection of valves in such a comprehensive manner.

Hydronics WORKSHOP
John Siegenthaler, P.E.
Side-By-Side Vs. End-To-End
The choice of
piping system can
make a significant
difference in
operating cost.
I
f you’ve been reading my PM columns over the last year, you’ve probably
detected a penchant for reducing the
power used to circulate fluid through
a hydronic distribution system. I see
this as “the final frontier” in the evolution of hydronic systems. Given that
boilers now yield thermal efficiencies in the mid- to upper-90 percent
range (when properly applied in lowtemperature systems), the potential
for further reduction in system energy
use must come from reduced electrical
power consumption.
There are several factors that influence the total electrical power used
by a hydronic distribution system.
These include the choice to zone with
circulators vs. electric zone valves vs.
thermostatic radiator valves, choice

of heat emitters, circulator efficiency,
operating temperature and choice of
piping layout. This month, I want to
discuss the latter in the context of a
simple residential system using fintube baseboard to supply a 50,000-Btu
design heating load.
Lower Than You Thought? I
often ask audiences of hydronic professionals at seminars to estimate
the efficiency of a current generation wet-rotor circulator in converting electrical energy to head energy.
Number guesses often range between
60 and 80 percent. Such numbers are
probably influenced by the relatively
high thermal efficiencies of modern
boilers.
It’s always interesting to watch
the reaction when the group learns
that the wire-to-water efficiency of
current-generation wet-rotor circulators is typically in the low 20-percent
range, as can be seen on the red curve
in Figure 1. I was equally surprised
when first informed about these wireto-water efficiencies.
Notice that peak wire-to-water efficiency is achieved when the circulator
operates near the middle of its pump
curve. If the piping system forces the
circulator to operate near the outer
fringes of the pump curve, the corresponding wire-to-water efficiency can
approach single digits, as shown in
Figure 2. Clearly, such situations must
be avoided.
Traditional Tactics: Consider the
series-loop baseboard system shown
in Figure 3. It has been sized to provide 10,000 Btu/hr. of heat output
at each baseboard. Baseboard lengths
increase in the downstream direction
to compensate for decreasing water
temperature. The lengths have been
based on a flow rate of 5 gallons per
minute, and a circuit supply temperature of 180 degrees F. This produces

The head loss of this circuit can
be determined using tables, graphs or

“Hydronics Design Studio” software to
get an estimated head loss of 13.2 feet.

Hydronics WORKSHOP
The electrical wattage required for a circulator operating at the peak 22 percent wire-to-water efficiency shown
in Figure 1, and supplying the flow and differential pressure
requirements of this system, would be:
This number suggests a small wet-rotor circulator operating on its medium or low speed setting can provide the
necessary hydraulic operating conditions.
Parallel Perks: Although fin-tube baseboard is traditionally installed in series circuits using rigid copper tubing,
this is not the only act in town.
Consider the homerun distribution system shown in
Figure 4. It consists of a manifold station and five homerun
circuits of 1/2-inch PEX tubing, one to each baseboard. The
equivalent length of each homerun circuit is assumed to be
120 feet of 1/2-inch PEX tubing.
10,000 Btu/hr
20 ft )n-tube
FIGURE 4
a head loss of 3.98 feet, which corresponds to a circuit pressure drop of 1.68 psi.
Assuming a circulator with the same 22 percent wire-towater efficiency is used, the required electrical power input
to the circulator is:
This lower wattage is directly attributable to the lower
head loss of the parallel distribution system in comparison
to the traditional series circuit.
Although the difference in operating power of these two
systems seems small — 54.4-16.6 = 37.8 watts — it can have
a significant effect on the operating cost of the system over
a design life of 20 years.
For example: Assume both systems require the circulator to operate 3,000 hours per year. Also assume a current
cost for electricity of 14 cents/kwhr, and that this cost
inflates at 4 percent per year. Under this scenario, the series
loop would have an electrical operating cost $473 higher
than that of the homerun system over a period of 20 years.
The calculations leading to this number are shown below.

This distribution system supplies the same water temperature to each baseboard. Thus, to supply the 10,000 Btu/
hr. load to each room, all baseboard lengths are 20 feet.
Analyzing the hydraulic characteristics of this parallel system requires a bit more mathematics than does a
series loop, but such analysis is well within the scope of
the “Hydronics Design Studio” software. In this case, the
homerun distribution system, operating at 5 gpm, produces
32
Plumbing & Mechanical, December 2008
This comparison assumes a circulator of the required
operating wattage can be located and used in either system.
This is not always the case, especially with fixed-speed circulators. However, variable-speed ECM-based circulators
with a wide range in input power adjustment are becoming
available in the United States. These products now allow
closer matching of circulator power with the requirements
of the distribution system.
In general, parallel distribution systems such as the
homerun system described here will have lower head loss
for the same rate of heat conveyance compared to series
circuits, or quasi-series circuits such as one-pipe systems
using diverter tees. Taking advantage of such systems is
increasing important as the North American hydronics
industry strives to further reduce energy use without sacrificing performance.

verview: An installer was asked by a client to use both a ground source heat
pump and a boiler as alternative heat
sources in a zoned, low-temperature hydronic
distribution system. Realizing the compact mod/
con boiler and heat pump both have high flow
resistances, he installs a circulator for each, and
decides that both of them operating simultaneously will provide sufficient flow.
He also incorporates an indirect water heater
into the system. When there’s a demand for
domestic water heating, the mod/con boiler goes
to a high temperature setting and the heat pump
remains off.

Kick It Up A Notch
“I wanted to step up my game.”
That’s how Mike Douglass of
Mike Douglass Plumbing in southwest
Florida describes his decision to completely redo his full-service plumbing
company’s trucks with an inspiring
and patriotic theme.
His two trucks (Fords with one
Spartan box and one Hackney) feature
a majestic eagle and an undulating
American flag, which definitely qualifies for a salute from PM as our endof-the-year Truck Of The Month.
This is Douglass’ first business,
in operation since 2003. He’s been
plumbing in the same area, though,
for more than 17 years. Mike Douglass
Plumbing employs about nine, and,
along with the eagle-wrapped box
trucks, runs two more vehicles (a van
and a pickup).
The eagle was wrapped in
September 2008 by SignZoo. Douglass
threw ideas at the Sarasota wrapping
company, and it had a design/proof
back to him pretty quickly. The whole
process was “painless,” he tells me.
“We’ve always been red, white and
blue,” Douglass says, “But the eagle
wrap turned out great.”
Another way he’s streamlined
operations through the new wrapping
is clearing up the contact info.
"The old signage used to list all
the different cities we served, along
with the corresponding local phone
numbers for those cities to contact

the company, but it was busy and
confusing. Now we’ve gone to a single phone number that routes all the
work to the call center.”
The idea to go big with the graphics was all Douglass’ brainchild. He
even had to convince wife Leisa to
get onboard. After seeing the results,
however, she was a convert.
“Now she’s glad I did it,” Douglass

The Tampa Rays
can teach us a
few valuable
business lessons.
38
Plumbing & Mechanical, December 2008
H
ow about those Tampa Rays? Yes, I
know they didn’t win the World Series,
but as American League Champions,
it’s still a remarkable move from worst
to first!
Just so you know, I root for the
Yankees. I root for the Diamondbacks.
But this year, I wound up rooting for
the Rays because it’s a wonderful story.
Why would I ask for your valuable reading time to talk about sports?
Because this is not about sports, it’s about
the business lessons to be learned.
To me, the Rays accomplishment
embodies a focus on three key things:
• Creating a positive team vision.
• Creating a positive team culture.
• Creating a positive team motto.
The Rays needed a new vision
and that vision would need to change
the dynamic of losing to a dynamic
of winning. And that takes positive
thinking. I notice from all the interviews I’ve seen of the Rays’ coach that
he embodies positive thinking.
Then the Rays took a bold step
over the last few years and got rid
of some very talented players. They
got rid of them because these players
were talented but also troublesome.
They brought skills, but they also
brought disruption and kept the culture of losing in place.
The Rays set about to create a positive team culture because they realized that team culture brings success
or failure. And the culture is either
getting better or it’s getting worse. It
never stays the same!
To crystallize the new team vision
and team culture, the Rays created a
motto to head them in this new direction. The phrase of 9=8 is brilliant!
The point was that nine players, playing smart and hard every nine innings,
would make the Rays one of eight
teams in the 2008 playoffs.
Joe Maddon, the manager, broke it
down to something simple that everyone could buy into. Now the goal was
clear, and how to get there was clear.
Your Team Vision: You’ll want a
team vision that inspires people to
win, but in a way that benefits the customer, the company and themselves.
Have an ambitious goal that engages
everyone.
But think about this: If you’ve
experienced nothing more than failure
in business after awhile, you learn to
accept it as, “What can I do about it?”
or “I’ve tried and it’s not my fault.”
The hard truth is that a negative
outcome is a direct result of ongoing
and never-ending negative thinking,
beliefs and actions (or inaction), just
as a positive outcome is highly related
to ongoing and never-ending positive
thinking, beliefs and actions.
The easy part is getting to choose
which outcome you want. The hard
part is making sure you’re always leading and managing people by setting
the right example of choosing the
positive road to improvement and
putting in the effort.
It’s so easy to dwell on all that is
negative in the world today that you
can’t see a positive team vision that
will take you and your team to your
goals. It’s especially hard in these times
when you’re constantly bombarded by
what’s going on in the stock market,
and hearing and reading about all the
doom and gloom everywhere.
Your Team Culture: Like the Rays
of the past, there is a losing culture
or the wrong culture. And that’s why
an unsuccessful contractor needs to
change the team culture. Contractors
all too often hire talented people with
bad attitudes. But unlike the Rays,
they’re not willing to start over with
new people with good attitudes, and

Bad things happen when there
isn’t strong leadership from the top
of the family because it empowers
the kids to run wild, with disastrous
results for everyone. Our kids are
our staff, and I say that in the most
positive way.
Creating a great team culture
can be your one and only true competitive advantage. The harsh reality is that any of your competitors
can get an office like yours, trucks
like yours, marketing like yours and
pretty much do whatever else you
do. But they can’t copy your great
team culture.
The fact is, most contractors I
speak to have a team culture that
epitomizes “It’s us vs. them.” It’s like
a war is going on. Both management
and staff are busy fighting with each
and direction toward your team
vision. Make it short so everyone can
remember it. Put it everywhere. And
repeat it as often as you can.
A positive team vision, team culture and team motto can overcome
all obstacles. I know this to be true
because I have clients right now who
are taking a lousy economy where
people want us to work for peanuts,
but they still want crackerjack results.
These owners are turning this lemon
economy into lemonade.
And with a great team vision, culture and motto, you also can go from
worst to first. And if you’re already
good, you can become great.

Practical MANAGEMENT
Paul Ridilla
A lesson
in teamwork.
T
his is a clever little word game
my Pap taught me when I was about
10 years old. He called it “three little
words” and assured me it would keep
me on the right track to whatever I
wanted to be in our great competitive
construction industry.
By simply turning over the word
“ME,” it becomes “WE.” He called it
teamwork or working together vs. trying
to do it alone. Naturally, I was amazed
how easy that was, but even more excited at how effectively it worked. We will
look at some of the specifics of successful teamwork, but first let’s look at the
third little word — “I.”
When you flip, or turn over, the word
“I” — you still have the same word. Pap
called that “the pride of a craftsman.”
He explained that your name goes on
your work and you always need to
proudly say, “I did that!”
I was always a hyper, eager-beaver
type — giving 110 percent of all the
energy and ability that God gave me
in order to succeed. Those little words
clarified what I needed to do with my
hands as a proud craftsman, and how
much help and cooperation I would
need for successful management. I
hope you will pass these three little
words on to your own children, as well
as every eager beaver on your payroll.
Success in our industry, in craftsmanship and management, is making
more money. That’s what you always
need to take better care of “me.” “I” can
do it as a craftsman, but only “we” can
do it as managers. Everyone around
you appreciates your help, as well as
the opportunity to return the favor.
Wouldn’t you? You could call this the
golden rule of successful management.
Being a proud craftsman, I’ve
always enjoyed the privilege of say-
ing, “I did that!” My craving for pride
dictated being the best at my work and
performing it as quick as I could to
save time and money.
What Can ‘We’ Do For ‘Me’? Since
I spent most of my years in management, let’s look at some of those
teamwork specifics of what “we” can
do for “me”:
1. We will begin with your own
employees. As a foreman, superintendent, project manager, purchasing
agent, office staff or owner, you are
always in a position to help others on
your team take home a bigger paycheck. This can be value-engineering
advice, helping with a difficult task,
providing opportunities and training
for advancement, and even covering
up an employee’s mistake.
Always share the credit, and always
take the blame. We had another oldschool saying: “He always blames the
person closest to him when something goes wrong, so don’t ever get
close to him!”
When you forget to share the credit
with your team, the results are usually resentment, resistance and even
revenge. You have all witnessed this in
team sports at high school, college and
professional levels. Many times when
an all-star hero makes headlines, the
other members of that team will slack
off to prove he or she is not that great.
They are thinking, “Let’s see how good
you are without our extra effort.” This
resentment multiplies when wages are
involved.
All of us need and want to earn
more money to satisfy ME, but WE
need each other’s full cooperation and
effort to take advantage of everything
this great industry has to offer. That is
what makes a winning team.

2. Collaboration with the general
contractor construction manager’s
personnel will produce a quality project ahead of schedule. By sharing
value engineering and helping resolve
any shortcomings, omissions or mistakes, both parties reap the benefits of
profit-producing team spirit. In addition, you will ensure a lasting future
relationship.
3. Although it is not as simple to
develop, your cooperative relationship
with the other trades on a jobsite can
be your most effective profit-producing teamwork. Trades that you have
worked with before know and trust
you, but first-timers are never sure.
Some have had good relationships
and/or bad ones on previous projects.
Sadly, we do have contractors who are
only interested in ME that have created that mistrust.
Fortunately, most of our contractors are more than willing to work
with you. Once again, you can offer
value-engineering suggestions to save
them time and money, but the real
cooperative spirit comes from horsetrading. By helping each other and
sharing tools and equipment, you will
both enjoy that amazing dollar-spentvs.-dollar-gained phenomenon.

your roof drain, which costs him
almost nothing. You save the high cost

• He unloads or lifts your material
with a fork lift or crane at little cost.
Renting your own would have been
quite expensive.
• You relocate your piping layout
to provide simple space for his installation.
• You weld his broken equipment at
very little cost, which saves him extensive downtime and repair bills.
• He lends you a hammer drill or
jackhammer to do your task.

• Your backhoe digs or backfills his
ditch again.
This profit-producing horse-trading goes on with lending each other
hand tools, small power tools, cutting
torches and even screws, bolts and
fasteners. All of this costs very little
but saves big bucks.
All of your jobsite employees
should constantly watch the other
trades to see if and how they can help.
Horse-trading is especially effective
with flex-time, which permits you to
use their tools or equipment when
they are not working. This also applies
to lunch time and coffee breaks.
To prevent any future misunderstandings about who did what for
whom, you should always document
your sharing in your daily log.
4. Although you do not have
a continual relationship with the
owner, architect or engineer, you can
create a horse-trading environment
by value engineering to help them
with errors, omissions and add-ons.
Here again, the dollars saved will
outweigh your costs.
This teamwork concept applies to
your personal life as well as your
work. I went out of my way to help
every person I could, and most people
appreciated it and returned the favor
when an opportunity arose. There
were some who were only “takers”
instead of “givers,” but they were so
few that I still felt good about being a
Good Samaritan.
Please take my Pap’s advice about
those three little words. It has sure
helped in my personal life, as well as
building a very proud and prosperous
career in construction. If you remember to flip that little word “me,” you,
too, will enjoy the benefits of “we”
teamwork. There is no doubt that
together, we can do it!

Manage these
five expenses
and you’ll have
a hard time not
making a profit.

Plumbing & Mechanical, December 2008
I
n my role as a business coach,
I have the good fortune to review
many monthly P&L statements from
contractors across the United States
and Canada. This includes plumbing,
drain cleaning, HVAC and electrical
contractors performing both service/
replacement and new construction.
During these rough economic
times, much of my day is spent discussing and developing action plans
to control expenses. Now, when it
comes to controlling expenses, action
plans are great, but it is important that
you use the company P&L as the final
scorecard.
The challenge for most owners is
that P&Ls have too much information. When they look at this blizzard
of numbers, their eyes start to cross
and they put it in the file and go off
and do other work that they understand and are good at performing.
As a result, an opportunity to make
good management decisions based on
sound financial information is lost.
Many owners just take a quick
look at the top line — revenue or
sales — then the last number all the
way on the bottom — profit or loss.
That leaves all the really important
numbers in the middle — expenses
— breezed over or not even reviewed
at all. During challenging economic
times, this can be a mortal sin.
KISS Principle: Frank Blau taught
me years ago about the “KISS” principle when running a business. “Keep
it Simple, Stupid” was a phrase thrown
in my direction more than once.
Nowhere is this concept more
important then when reviewing and
managing your business’ P&L.
So let’s start with the most important expense numbers on your P&L.
I call these the Big Five. Keeping the
KISS principle in mind, you should
start with the Big Five if you are looking for ways to trim expenses in your
business. If you can manage these five
expense categories and keep them in
line, you will have a hard time not
making money.
The Big Five are the following:
• Direct labor. The wages and benefits we pay the people doing the work
in the field.
• Material expense. The net cost of
the materials we sell to customers.
• Office/overhead salaries. The
wages and benefits we pay the people
who support the people in the field.
• Advertising. Service contractors
only; this is an insignificant number
for new construction companies.
• Vehicle expenses. All expenses
including lease/depreciation and interest, maintenance, repairs and fuel.
Table 1 is a sample P&L that is
greatly simplified from the average
P&L (a lot fewer lines!). I have highlighted The Big Five.
As you can see, the Big Five represents total expenses of $1.365 million or 78 percent of the total. If you
have a profitable company, these items
together likely represent around 70-80
percent of sales. If you are at breakeven or worse, they may represent as
much as 85-90 percent of sales.
In order to control expenses in
your company, focus your energy on
where you can get the biggest return
on your efforts. That’s going to come
from the Big Five!
Here are a couple of tips when
focusing on the Big Five:
• With direct labor and material,
focus on the percent of sales. These
two expenses will vary with sales. In

other words, as sales increase or decrease,
these expenses should naturally increase
and decrease. If you do not see direct labor
decrease as sales decrease, you have huge saving opportunities. Start here.
Of the Big Five, these are the most
important expense items to monitor. Your
profitability is in serious jeopardy with any
significant increase in percent of sales here.
Conversely, any decrease in these percentages
will greatly improve profitability.
You should be able to recite on demand
these two percentages (both your actual and
your budget or goal percentage for these
expense categories). They are that important.
• For advertising, vehicle expenses and
office wages, focus on the dollar amount for
the current month and compare to prior year
for the same month and prior month. Your
goal should be to hold these expenses flat or
even reduce them. At the same time, focus on
growing revenue, which will result in declining percent of sales for these items.
An important point to remember is that,
if your sales are declining, these expense items
better be declining faster than sales as a percentage or you are virtually guaranteed to be
losing money. If you know your sales are going
to be off, get these items in line — now.
Next year will no doubt be a challenging
year. It will be more important than ever to
learn to manage your business by the numbers.
Keep it simple; get a firm handle on your
Big Five expenses. Commit to memory your
average monthly spend in dollars and percentage of sales for these important expense
categories. Develop action plans around containing or reducing these items. You will
be controlling at least 70 percent of your
expenses and will go a long way to thriving in
a challenging business environment.
If you would like some help with developing action plans to get these expenses in line,
give me a call.

Commercial Fastening System™
Patent Pending
A breakthrough in toilet seat installation
improves mounting hardware from top to
bottom, from inside out. It’s a simpler, more
secure system that cuts installation time by
a third and prevents toilet seat loosening.
It’s easier to use, too. Just tighten the lower
portions of the innovative one-piece nuts.
They shear when properly tightened. A finned
bushing securely centers bolts in mounting
holes to prevent shifting. Finally, the new
design and materials create stronger
clamping forces that eliminate costly
callbacks to re-tighten loose seats!
breakthrough
TECHNOLOGY
Assemble hinges.
Hold seat centered while
finger-tightening nuts.
Using a 5/8" wrench,
alternately tighten until
lower portions shear off.

Thanks to all the recent publicity for Chinese imports,
made in America means something again.
When the pipe you buy has the Cast Iron Soil Pipe Institute collective trademark (CI), you can be sure
of its quality. Of course, that way, you can also be sure it was made in America.

Whyy Attend?
With rapidly
apidly rising fuel prices, interest in solar heating is red hot. John Siegenthaler,
P.E., industry
discusses th
the ability

l th
t
ffor
domestic water heating and space heating as a natural extension of the skills used
to design and install modern hydronic systems. This session will bring you up to
speed with the latest technology for solar domestic water heating. It then extends
the envelope to include combined DHW and space heating applications. If you’ve
been thinking of branching out from traditional hydronic heating into solar thermal
technology this session is a good place to get grounded in the fundamentals. You’ll
learn what works and what doesn’t from 30 years of field and design experience.
When? January, 26, 2009 • 8:30am-1:00pm

FIRST PLACE ▼
For Nasty Jobs
For all the drain-cleaning techs out there: Ever had to
cable a main through a pulled toilet in a commercial establishment? Or cable a urinal line? Hate the mess it makes?
Solution: The arm that attaches the flushometer body
with the angle stop. Take that off and attach a ball valve to
it. Then connect washing machine supply hoses to it.
This allows you to wash down the floor from when the
main backed up, or to hose down your cable when you're
pulling it back from that nasty urinal line.

Slow Cooker
Removing Flange
Does your solder flux get frozen stiff on those cold
days while running copper waterlines? Struggle no
longer! Place your flux jar in a small crock pat, and in
minutes, the flux is soft and workable. This works great
and is safe because the crock pot will not overheat the
flux container.
When replacing a cast-iron toilet flange, I use a metal
drill bit and drill holes all around the old lead. Then I
take a screwdriver to pry the old lead out of the flange.
This makes the flange come off easy.

Whyy Attend?
One off the hot issues in the green building design is the use of reclaimed water.
It sounds so easy. But, as anyone who has tried will tell you, there are many
obstacles that must be overcome before installing a reclaimed water system.
Mr. Ballanco will provide insight into gaining code approval, dealing with the
various agencies, and providing annual inspections. He will review problems that
have beset the systems so that you will not fall into the same trap. Walk away with
h
an understanding of where we are headed in the use of reclaimed water.

Survey: UPC Preferred Code
Of Plumbing Inspectors
A majority of plumbing inspectors in the country’s major
metro areas consider the Uniform Plumbing Code as the
most “efficient and least confusing” plumbing code in the
country, according to a survey conducted by the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s Institute of Labor and
Industrial Relations for the Plumbing Industry Council.
The survey, titled “National Report on Plumbing Licensure,
Codes and Quality of Workmanship,” gathered information
from inspectors in 74 major metropolitan cities.
More inspectors also believe that the UPC protects
quality plumbing and workmanship “extremely well” on
commercial sites (89.5 percent of those surveyed) and residential sites (90 percent) than do so about other codes.
Other survey findings include:
• Most respondents reported a preference for the work

of licensed plumbers over that of certified or noncertified/
nonlicensed plumbers (90.1 percent). In addition, more
respondents indicated that the licensing standard protects
quality workmanship “extremely well” when each journeyman was licensed, rather than when one plumber was
licensed or the contractor only was licensed.
• A majority of respondents (65.8 percent) indicated
they’d like to see the commercial and residential codes
combined. Of those who stated a preference, nearly twice
as many said they’d prefer that be done under the UPC as
those who favored other codes.
Data was collected from September 2007 to November
2007 via an online questionnaire. For more information or

Council Chairman Gary Hamilton at 202/628-5823.

Fire Sprinkler Market ... continued from page 8
Other items in the report include:
• Recent projections by fire sprinkler manufacturers
forecast that 42 million sprinklers will be sold in the
United States in 2008, and include new construction,
retrofits and tenant improvements. It is estimated that
the installation of fire sprinklers for all occupancies
generated revenue between $5 billion and $6 billion,
including the cost of the sprinklers, related materials and
equipment, and labor.
• It is estimated that no more than 3 percent of the
1,218,400 new single-family residential units completed in
2007, or 36,550, were equipped with fire sprinklers.
• The U.S. Census Bureau and HUD also reported that
the average single-family house completed in 2007 was
2,479 square feet in size. If the typical new house uses
an estimated 25 sprinklers, then 913,750 sprinklers were
installed in single-family residences against the potential
for more than 30,000,000 installed if fire sprinklers were
installed in all completed units.
• The accurate design and layout of fire sprinkler systems is more demanding than other building systems. The
accurate hydraulic analysis, the selection of the proper fire
sprinkler(s), and their precise placement within design
parameters such as position, location, areas of coverage,
temperature rating and K-factor is critical.

Editorial OPINION
Jim Olsztynski

Time To Close Up Shop?
T
homas Edison failed with thousands of different filaments before
finding one able to sustain the light of
an incandescent bulb. So don’t equate
failure with being a loser. If there is a
positive spin to all I have to say here,
it’s that in tough times like these,
going out of business may be the best
thing that can happen to many contractors. They would be doing a favor
for themselves as well as competitors.
Many PHC contractors who have
gone into business for themselves
never should have done it in the first
place. Frequently the desire to be one’s
own boss trumps the stark fact that a
person has no clue about how to run a
business and neither the time nor the
energy to learn.
Many startups occur when there
is more work in a particular market
than contractors available to handle
it. You don’t need a lot of business
savvy to make a go of it during boom
times; you just need to be around and
work will find you. That’s the way it
was in many places around the country until the last couple of years.
Now that work has dried up in
those places, only the strong survive,
and even some of them are struggling. That’s because weak competitors tend to weaken an entire market.
Too many contractors bid for fewer
jobs, which drags pricing down to
a level where it’s impossible to turn
a profit. Service companies are better insulated against hard times, but
when new building dries up, a bunch
of construction contractors inevitably try to buy their way into the
service market, making it hard for
anyone to prosper.

Plumbing & Mechanical, December 2008
Working for
someone else would
be a better deal for
many contractors.
Weak contractors tend to hang
around longer than they should,
and along the way they make things
miserable for competitors, suppliers
and hapless employees. They make
themselves miserable, too, along
with their families.
It’s hard to enjoy your work when
you see more dollar signs on the
expense side of the ledger than on the
income side; when liens and lawsuits
occupy more of your time than estimating and supervising jobs; when
you’re deferring your own paycheck
in a struggle to keep those of key
employees from bouncing.
And, it’s hard to enjoy your life
when you don’t enjoy your work.
Problems at the shop have a way
of triggering arguments with the
spouse. Deep down you may still love
your kids, but when you come home
stressed out, children acting like children can get on the nerves.
You probably don’t sleep well and
you’re too busy putting out fires all
day to eat anything except junk food
on the run, all of which can cascade
into health problems.
Closing up shop is never a simple
decision. Carrots keep dangling in
front of you. If only a couple of customers pay up what they owe … one plum
job is all it would take to get back on
your feet. Besides, you’re pretty tight
with the manager of a supply house
who’s willing to carry you for a long
time. (What choice does he have, since
you’re into them for so much already
and they risk losing it all if you go
under!) You still do good work and have
many years of trade experience, goes the
thinking. If you can just hang on awhile
longer ’till things turn around …
Before shutting down, you first
want to try to sell the company. This
can drag on for months or even years
before the message slams home that
you don’t have a marketable business. You can recapture a few bucks
liquidating inventory and equipment,
but contractors always are stunned to
find out that nobody is willing to pay
much for a business whose main asset
is the owner’s know-how.
Here’s the good news — they are
willing to pay for that know-how. It’s
ironic that failed contractors, the same
people who make life miserable for
them as competitors, offer one of the
best solutions to the most pressing
problem facing the better contracting
firms. They are desperate for skilled
mechanics, estimators and project
managers, and most contractors who
have owned a business, even a failed
one, have mastered those aspects of
the trade. Odds are good there are jobs
waiting for you out there offering better pay and benefits, and with far fewer
working hours and aggravations, than
you had working for yourself.
Isn’t it time to ask yourself, is it
