New Trihawk
Downhole Tools
The Charles Machine
Works (CMW), Inc., manufacturer of Ditch Witch® underground construction
equipment, now offers
TriHawk® downhole tools
through its worldwide network of Ditch Witch
dealerships.
The new TriHawk HD
housing offers a number of
patented features designed
to enhance the efficiency of
directional drilling, including
a square drive spline that enables operators to quickly
and easily change tooling as
downhole
conditions
change. Another patented
feature is a boltless, pinnedlid system that provides exceptional protection for—and
easy removal of—the tracking electronics. With its innovative, high-flow design,
TriHawk has the power and
volume necessary to also
run two other types of
trenchless systems: mud
motors and air hammers.
Available in four sizes,
the new TriHawk HD housing is compatible with Ditch
Witch and Vermeer® drills,
and is now available at Ditch
Witch dealerships.
Four TriHawk bits are
available for use with the
new TriHawk HD housing:
The patented TriHawk I is
designed for soft rock conditions up to 8,000 psi (552
bar), and is also productive
in dry, compacted soils as
well as cobble and broken
formations.
The patented, abrasionresistant TriHawk III features
powerful, carbide-core cutting teeth designed to efficiently cut through soft to
medium rock up to 12,000
psi (827 bar) and cobble.
The TriHawk IV drill bit is
designed for use in heavy,
overburdened cobble or
fractured rock.
The TriHawk V drill bit
combines torque-edge
steering with thrust-face
steering for exceptional performance in round rock
The Vari
Temperature Gauge
… keeps a cleansing shower absolutely perfect—
temperature-wise.
The Vari Temperature Gauge is a digital or analog
water-temperature gauge that is installed in-line between the water-supply pipe and the shower head in
residential, commercial and institutional bathrooms. It
can be produced either as an analog dial or an easyread LED and can be mounted on (or molded into) the
exterior surface. In the case of an easy-to-read LED, a
waterproof battery compartment to power this display
will be included.
The Vari Temperature Gauge was invented by Peter Vari of Fullerton, CA. He said, “This device prevents
and eliminates the trial and error guesswork everyone
engages in when trying to calibrate the shower water
temperature. It eliminates the discomfort we feel when
it is too hot (often while trying to bail out). It will prevent
accidental scaling and over time will save money on
the water bill by reducing time spent trying to get the
temperature just right. It is easy to install without the
need of tools and works equally well in homes, schools,
dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities such as hotels and motels.
To view a graphic of the Vari Temperature Gauge,

advantages, benefits, target markets and distribution
channels, please see the attached brochure. To view

cobble, flat river stone, hardpan and loose fill.
For enhanced durability,
all TriHawk bits are reinforced with ample amounts
of strategically placed carbide grit.
Also available are the dirt
bit adaptor and the
Hawkeye™ quick connect
system. These are designed
to enhance the performance of TriHawk downhole
tools.
With the economical
Ditch Witch dirt bit adaptor,
customers can quickly and
easily convert their TriHawk
HD housing into a dirt drilling system. The dirt bit adaptor enables operators to drill
in all soil conditions, and it
is available in both Ditch
Witch and Vermeer plate bit
bolt patterns.
The Hawkeye quick connect system was developed
specifically for today’s
more-powerful directional
drilling rigs, which have
much greater torque and
pullback than their predecessors. Hawkeye’s patented wear-compensating
design improves directional
drilling steering control and
tool life. Hawkeye adaptors
are designed to simplify tooling upgrades to most directional drilling brands.
Also available through
Ditch Witch dealerships are
factory-rebuilt programs for
TriHawk tooling and housings. To reinforce the
strength and durability of
each remanufactured bit,
temperatures are carefully
controlled and a critical material blend is applied during
each step of the rebuild pro-
cess.

TriHawk
and
Hawkeye downhole tools,

With INNOVEX™
Technology Wholesalers
Can Sell It and Forget It
Aqua Glass introduces new technology, material
for bathing systems
Aqua
Glass
has
launched a new technology
that makes bathing systems
stronger, lighter and easier
to install.
“Aqua Glass acrylic with
INNOVEX ™ technology is
perhaps the most impressive material innovation in
the bathing industry in 40
years,”
said
Chris
Yankowich, president of the
Moorestown, NJ-based
Aqua Glass brand, a division
of Masco Corporation. “The
units are as attractive as
they are functional. They are
designed to resist damage
during transit, storage and
installation. They have more
shelving and bigger bathing
wells. And they’re priced below our current acrylic systems. INNOVEX technology
gives wholesalers an attractive and robust alternative to
traditional bathing systems.”
INNOVEX technology is
both a new technology and
a new material. It is a patentpending combination of a
microcellular core with a
rigid, smooth polyurethane
backing. When fused with a
thick acrylic surface, the application creates a strong
and damage-resistant material that is easier to trans-
port, install and maintain.
INNOVEX technology is
also the first bathing product
to be certified by the
GREENGUARD Environmental Institute and the only
one to meet its more stringent children and schools
criteria.
It is also a more robust
unit. Wholesalers and distributors can sell an with
INNOVEX technology product and forget it. Unlike other
materials INNOVEX technology units arrive intact at the
warehouse, showroom or
jobsite. The material has a
higher tolerance for rough
handling to resist damaged
during transit, storage or installation. Nor should its durable acrylic surface discolor if stored outside. The
bathing systems are level
and lighter than gelcoat units
so distributors can stack
them in the warehouse.
Customers will appreciate the spacious, contemporary design, with its rounded
corners, generous shelving
and extra interior space. The
high-luster acrylic surface is
lighter, durable and thicker
than current gelcoat surfaces.
The one-piece systems
install quickly. The unit fits in
a standard 60" by 32" alcove and arrives in one
piece, eliminating the need
to square individual pieces
and reducing the time
needed to caulk. That in turn
greatly reduces the chance
of leaks and makes cleaning the unit simple, since
there are fewer seams to
accumulate soap scum and
mold. The factory-leveled
base doesn’t require a lot of
shimming and the material
can flex to accommodate
slightly out-of-plumb pockets. The smooth polyurethane backing doesn’t contain fiberglass irritants so
gloves and long sleeves are
not required when handling.
The acrylic surface also
resists fracture. Direct-tostud application with robust
pre-notched flanges means
a secure installation, and
screw guides built into the
flanges reduce the risk of
cracks and breakage.
The first production unit
is a 60"x 32" one-piece tubshower design that fits a
standard 60" bypass bathtub door. Both left- and righthand drains are offered. The
unit will be followed by four
additional products: 60"x36"
tub shower, 36" shower, 48"
shower and a 60" shower.
The units come with a limited 10-year warranty for
residential applications and

its early days, Watts manufactured pressure reducing
valves to regulate steam and
relief valves to ensure safe operation of water heaters and
boilers.
In the 1900’s, Watts introduced the revolutionary combination temperature and
pressure (T&P) relief valve, a
protection device for use on hot
water supply tank systems.
These T&P valves prevented
dangerous hot water heater explosions and continue to be an
integral part of today’s water
heating systems. In the 1970’s,
Watts was instrumental in the
promotion of backflow prevention devices to prevent the
backward flow of contaminated
water from entering into the potable water supply.
Watts continues to lead the
backflow prevention market
today with an extensive line of
products including, Water
Safety & Flow Control, Backflow
Prevention, Water Quality Products, Drainage Products, Brass
& Tubular, Control Valves, Potable PEX Plumbing, Residential Fire, Quick-Connect Solutions, Lead free and much
more .
Today, Watts is part of the
Watts Water Technologies
family with operations in North
America, Europe and Asia.
Watts designs, manufactures
and sells an extensive line of
flow control products for the
water quality, residential
plumbing & heating, commercial and OEM markets.

Hello ASPE Atlanta,
Happy
Thanksgiving.
WOW! Is it Thanksgiving already? This is the time of
year we start thinking about
what we are thankful for in
our lives. I hope all of you
have the opportunity to
spend some quality time with
your friends and family this
holiday season.
Reminder – the Atlanta
Chapter will NOT be having
a product show this year
since we have switched the
time of year for the golf out-
SECTION B: COMMERCIAL / INDUSTRIAL
ing and the product show.
The next Atlanta Chapter
Product Show will be in
June of 2012. Stay tuned for
further details.
I hear our October technical/dinner meeting was
great, sorry if you missed it.
I did have to miss the meeting as the family was driving
to Orlando that day for the
Technical Symposium. The
next technical/dinner meeting is on Tuesday, November 22nd and I hope to see
everyone at Villa Christina.
The cost of the dinner meetings is $25 for an ASPE

Last weeks Symposium
in Orlando was yet another
ASPE event that exceeded
expectations for quality of
technical seminars in an atmosphere conducive to
learning, networking and opportunities to promote the
Atlanta Chapter among our
peers. Hats off to the Central Florida Chapter for hosting a great event. 2.5 days
of Technical Seminars, a
Product Show and Committee meetings made the time
fly by. Thanks to all of the
manufacturers who sponsored this event at every
level. Without their support
the quality of the experience
would be greatly diminished.
Kudos to the Atlanta Chapter for stepping up and contributing at the Silver Sponsor level. Congratulations to
Joseph Messina and Ovidiu
Muresan for the great job
they did as presenters for
two of the technical seminars. I did get a chance to
spend some time at the
Mouse House and thoroughly enjoyed seeing old
friends who I only get to see
once a year.
During the awards luncheon on Saturday, October
29th, Executive Director Jim
Kenzel reiterated ASPE’s
position and commitment to
a renewed involvement in
legislative issues to promote
and strengthen ASPE’s position as a leader in the development of new codes
and standards.
Also, Society is still seeking chapter input on proposed changes to the
IAPMO Green Plumbing and

Wall mounted toilet support manufacturing is the
“GAME” and BARIndustries
is our name. They are
America’s leader in the art
of retrofitting any commercial “Vitreous China” wall
mounted toilet with a support that enables any obese
person up to 1000 pounds
to use the supported toilet
without fear of it breaking or
coming off the wall and
causing a great deal of embarrassment, and/or possible injury. For this reason
alone, the Healthcare and
Commercial property industries are now able to invest
toward the prevention of
such high Patient/Public
Safety liability pay-offs,
keeping Healthcare costs to
a minimum.
BARIndustries manufacture their toilet supports to
fit all wall mounted toilets of
all major plumbing fixture
companies. The six most
popular wall mounted toilet
manufacturers are, American Standard, Crane, Eljer,
Kohler, Mansfield, and Toto.
All the wall mounted toilets
must meet “ANSI Standard
A112.19.2M” which de-
ASPE Membership Report
by Chris Rohling VP Membership
I was glad to see so many
members from our Atlanta
Chapter down in Orlando for
the Technical Symposium.
We had a pretty good turn
out and from a vendor perspective it was wonderful to
see so many engineers attend the Product Show. Our
chapter is also proud to
boast that Ovi Muresan and
Joe Messina were presenters at the Symposium.
Speaking of special ASPE
events, our own Atlanta
Chapter has a Product
Show coming up this summer (June 2012) that we are
looking for some well versed
ASPE members to join our
committee. If you have interested, please contact
Mandy Odom on the Atlanta
Board.
The membership front
continues to be challenging,
Bud Malstrom, Director of
Operations
Glenn Wright, CEO
mands the wall mounted toilet bowls to hold a 350
pound person without
breaking off the iron “carrier”. These “carriers” which
are inside the wall, and
which themselves are only
rated for 300 pounds are
right now a major liability to
commercial property owners. Thanks to our “SK1000”
Wall Mounted Toilet Supports, the liability issue is
eliminated.
There is no longer a lack
of toilet support available to
Hospitals, High Rise Commercial Buildings, County,
State, and Federal Government Buildings, Professional
Sports Stadiums, and almost all Healthcare Facilities. We at BARIndustries
believe that obesity is soon
to be the “Major Epidemic”
in America and we are trying to help keep the “growing” public safe and risk free
and “support” them the best
way we know. Don’t be
found ADA negligent! Order
yours today!
For further information on
BARIndustries, please contact them at 770-8779020.6
just when the excitement
builds and we have added
some new members to our
organization, we have unfortunately lost a few as well.
As an ASPE member, I encourage you to be very responsive to the emails and
phone calls that our membership committee makes.
Both the Atlanta Chapter
and Society are reaching
out before your membership
lapses to understand your
pending intentions. We
would love to retain 100% of
our members, but especially
if you have a reason for leaving Society, please share
that with us. This Society
would not exist without its
membership and we are the
life blood of our organization. Please help us remain
relevant and communicate
with us.
As mentioned we
brought about four members
into the fold in September,
but October was challenging. We did have one member join our chapter from
previously being in the Las
Vegas Chapter. Please join
me in welcoming Michael
Brewer of Jordan and Skala
back to the Atlanta Chapter.

I just got in from the
2 011 A S P E Te c h n i c a l
Symposium in Orlando.
It was a great experience,
as those who attended
and our contest winners
will testify. I learned quite
a bit, including some interesting facts on plumbing in zero g. That’s right,
plumbing in space. I took
a NASA plumbing technical seminar led by Dr.
Patrick Simpkins, Director of Engineering at the
Kennedy Space Center.
Did you know in zero g,
that a burp is the same as
throwing up? In space,
there is no gravity to
separate your food and
gases, so it comes out a
mixed bag! After engineers found that out, they
realized they had to remove all air and gas from
foods, water, and beverages. I also found a toilet that costs a little more
than a Kardashian wedding and will last a little
longer too. The space
shuttle toilet is equipped
with
a
centrifuge,
vacuum, thigh restraints,
and other paraphernalia.
You even have to take
training to make sure you
have the proper positioning. There is a trainer toilet with a docking camera
and monitor so you can
practice your positioning.
To quote Dr. Simpkins,
“the positioning and seal
is critical!” To see the
training video go to
Youtube.com and search
for “Shuttle’s Toilet Requires Special Training”.
Another interesting fact is
that the space shuttle is
basically a couple of big
plumbing systems made
in the shape of a spacecraft. No joke! It is all
one big plumbing project
from water and refrigeration piping to the fuel gas
systems that propel the
spacecraft. If you ever
get a chance to take a
seminar on this subject,
it will change your paradigm when it comes to
plumbing. I wonder if I
can pick up that space
toilet on eBay or
Craigslist now that the
shuttle
program
is
complete….I could do a
head to head competition
with that and a Numi, no
pun intended!
In other toilet related
news, TOTO has a toilet
motorcycle that runs on,
well, bio gas and is on a
tour around Japan right
now. Closer to home, in
Washington D.C., the
GSA building reported
two exploding toilets.

Congratulations to Colleen Bitterman and Mike Fox
who were the winners of our
Technical Symposium contest giveaway drawing. As
this article is being written,
we are just arriving back
from Orlando. There were
at least 13 members from
the Atlanta Chapter in attendance that I am aware of.
Some great seminars took
place including a topic about
plumbing the space shuttle.
I guess if you attended that
seminar you learned how to
drink your own pee. I especially liked the round table
discussion during lunch on
Friday. We had some great
discussions about hot water
balancing and water free
urinals. On the Atlanta
Chapter side, we received a
Certificate of Appreciation
plaque for being a Silver
Sponsor of the Symposium.
The Atlanta Chapter also
received the Membership
Retention Award and the
Chapter Award of Merit.
There is a lot of work that
goes into the Award of Merit
and on behalf of the Board;
I would like to thank all of
our members who contribute this award. Also, our
own Joseph Messina received a Certificate of Appreciation for his contributions

Joseph V. Messina,CPD
VP Education
Hello ASPE Members
and Friends. I mentioned
in the July Newsletter
about the Scholarship
program. Well, the Board
received several very
good applications and
from them we were able
to select a winner. I am
pleased to announce the
winner of the 2011 ASPE
Atlanta Chapter Scholarship is Danielle Tidwell
the granddaughter of
Harry
and
Mary
Schnirring. She is a student at Georgia State
University majoring in
Psychology with a minor
in Art. Join me in congratulating Danielle who
will be attending our November 22nd meeting to
receive a check for
$1,000.00.
Those of you who
missed the 2011 ASPE
Technical Symposium in
Orlando missed a good
one including my session
on Lab Design. My audience was a mixture of
those who have designed
plumbing for labs and
those that haven’t. We
had some very interesting
participation with discussions. Ovidiu Muresan,
another Atlanta Chapter
member, spoke on Fuel
Gas Design. He as well
had some interesting discussions and participation with his audience. It
was a very interesting
and enlightening symposium.
Cary Mandeville chats with Carl Garofalo
Kris Janecki of Kohler with Clay Freels
While at the Symposium, I also attended the
Education Committee
meeting which had a very
good attendance. During
that meeting Mitch
Clemente, Society’s VP
Education, touched on
items the Society Board
of Directors have in mind
for the upcoming year. I
will speak of some of
these items at the November 22nd meeting so if
you want to hear plan on
attending.6

Membership
We look forward to
seeing you at the next
meeting and getting the
most out of your ASPE
membership.
I have not received the
membership numbers for
this month, but this
should help us regain our
position as one of the top
five largest chapters in
the ASPE organization.
Please continue to seek
out new membership so
they can benefit from the
value that WE create in
the ASPE Atlanta Chapter.

pressed in the piping and
when flushed…. KABLOOEY! Two employees
were injured and one
taken to the hospital.
If you missed last
month’s Atlanta ASPE
Chapter meeting, you
missed a great round
table discussion on
quirks in the code around
the country. One I ran
across while working and
writing this article is in
Tucson, AZ. According
to the code official, the
town has adopted both
the UPC and IPC! It is
driving him nuts, but he
said you can pick either
code to design to, just
please…stick with one
code!
This month our topic
will be on Heat Pump
Water Heaters. It should
prove to be an interesting
topic of conversation! We
hope to see you there
and Happy Thanksgiving!6

Georgia Plumbing News - October 31st, 2011
KBIS & NKBA Announce
2012 Tradeshow Dates
As part of Chicago's citywide schedule adjustments
to accommodate the G-8
and NATO summits in May
2012, the Kitchen & Bath
Industry Show (KBIS) has
moved up its annual
tradeshow and conference
to April 24 to 26, 2012, at
McCormick Place, with the
conference beginning on
April 23. Owned by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) and produced by
Nielsen Expositions, KBIS
brings together nearly 20,000
of the industry's top dealers, designers, builders, remodelers,
retailers, and other professionals directly involved in the design and remodel of residential
kitchens and bathrooms.
There will be no impact to
hotel rates or availability, and
the NKBA and Nielsen do not
anticipate any impact on the
number of attendees or exhibitors at KBIS based on the
date shift. In fact, many KBIS
exhibitors have already
pointed out that they prefer
this new date pattern during
the week versus the weekend. Additionally, Candice
Olson has already confirmed
that she is able to serve as
the KBIS 2012 opening key-
note speaker on the new
opening day of the show on
April 24.
The National Kitchen &
Bath Association and Nielsen
Expositions will continue to
promote these new show
dates to ensure that all potential attendees, exhibitors, media, and partners are aware
that KBIS 2012 will now take
place from April 24 to 26,
2012. The NKBA and Nielsen
have also ensured that KBIS
does not conflict with other
national or international industry events. Certified Master
Kitchen & Bath Designer and
2011 NKBA President David
Alderman, CMKBD, said, "In
the face of Chicago's sudden
need to alter the city's entire
schedule of spring events due
to the scheduling of the G8
and NATO summits, I'm very
happy that we were able to
secure show dates so close
to the original schedule and
maintain the show's hotel
blocks and discounted pricing."
Jim Scott, show managing director, said, "Chicago is
a world-class city, and on behalf of KBIS and the NKBA,
we're excited to see it showcased on the international po-
litical stage. We're happy to
be back in Chicago after our
well-attended 2011 show.
KBIS will again offer our attendees and exhibitors maximized ROI, exposure and
networking, and ultimately the
best show experience."
Attendees can look forward to the KBIS 2012 trade
show floor featuring the newest and most innovative
kitchen and bath products
from 500 global manufacturers. KBIS will offer a full conference program led by top
industry change-makers, as
well as play host to vital networking opportunities.
The KBIS and NKBA
teams have conducted a full
lodging review, and hospitality options remain fully open
and space has been secured
around the new 2012 dates.
They also have secured the
commitment of Chicago and
the convention bureau to
maintain exhibitor moving
costs at the level they would
have been if the original dates
were maintained. The
McCormick Place reforms to
lower labor costs make the
2012 show even more attractive for exhibiting manufacturers. Looking forward to the future of the show, Scott said,
"We are also excited by the
opportunity to make Chicago
the home for KBIS in 2014.
We will be making changes
in KBIS to more fully incorporate a Chicago-wide experience in the future, extending
the value of attending KBIS
beyond the actual three days
of this year's event."
Media and attendee registration for KBIS will be open
in January 2012 at www.
kbis.com. Owned by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) and produced by
Nielsen Expositions, the
Kitchen & Bath Industry Show
(KBIS) is the world's largest international trade show event
dedicated to its industry. 6
Bosch Tankless is First to
Acheive New Ultra Low
NOx Requirement
Bosch Thermotechnology North America, a leading provider of energy efficient water heaters, heating and air
conditioning comfort systems as well as high quality solar
thermal systems for commercial and residential use, has
achieved an industry first in the tankless water heater category by offering a condensing product line that meets
new Ultra Low NOx requirements ahead of a mandated
2012 date for the marketplace.
Bosch Therm tankless models C 1210 ESC, C 1210 ES,
C1050 ES and C 950 ES are currently the only condensing tankless product series on the market that meets the
new, more strict, NOx requirements passed by utility regulatory agencies in California and Vermont. Effective 2012,
the new regulations require water-heating units to limit
noxious gas displacement in the heating process to less
than 14 ng of NOx per joule of energy consumed. The line
meets this requirement, thanks to a combination of precision Bosch engineering and proactive planning.
The Bosch Therm units use a unique design that produces a lower flame temperature from the burner, and a
wide flame pattern versus a segmented burner assembly
and diluted air used in the heating process. Combined with
condensing technology, which captures exhaust gases to
preheat incoming cold water, these models offer an attractive tankless water heating option that meets future code
requirements today while offering optimal efficiency.6
