Chicago O’Hare Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois. The
reason for the summit is simple: bring together the
various groups and organizations that have some
direct or tangential interest in having one national
plumbing code. If there is basic agreement on the

absolute and vital need for one plumbing code the
next step would be to forge an organization alliance
and establish a task force for the creation of one
national plumbing code. Send your opinions on
creating one plumbing code to pdelaney@aspe.org.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL IN
AN ELECTRONIC MIXING
CENTER (EMC) THAT PLAYS
IT SMART AND SAFE.
When you actually see it perform live, you’ll change
the way you think about central hot-water distribution systems. Designed specifically to provide +/-2°F
recirculation system control during zero-demand
idling periods, our EMC also delivers remarkable
performance across the full diversity of hot water
use. And it has no minimum system draw-off
requirement. With remote programming and control
features, and building automation system interface
capability built into the mixing unit, the EMC offers
an unparalleled portfolio of valuable benefits. We
don’t just say it; we’ll prove it to you online.

VP Membership - Chad Dupler
Greetings Membership,
This will be short and sweet. We need
members. The Central Ohio Chapter is willing to put
out $600 to the person or persons willing to take an
extra few minutes to talk to someone about joining
an organization that benefits the plumbing industry.
Up to this point, the big money is still up for grabs in
a big way.
Foorrrrrrrrrrrre! The Central Ohio Chapter’s
annual golf outing is just around the corner Tuesday, June 21st at the Links of Echo Springs. It’s
going to be a beautiful thing. We need, as always,
your support to help keep the chapter strong. More
than that, it’s a heck of a good time.
Get your foursome together and sign up now.
You engineer types band together with four people
from your office and come out and play. You don’t
have to be a member and we’ll not beat you up to
be one… well, maybe a little. But trust me, it’s
pretty painless except for some of the swings you’ll
see. Whoooo baby, it could get ugly.
Don’t wait.
Have a good one all.
