In the USA, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) controls water meter standards. This industry association has specific standards for water meter threads in the United States. If you are new to the waterworks or metering industry, meter and meter connection sizing can be confusing. Read below to learn how to correctly size PEX piping with municipal water meters.
The use of PEX piping for plumbing, fire safety, and radiant systems continues to increase due to its durability, installation ease, and long-lasting performance. However, what is less known is how all the benefits of PEX directly relate to sustainability for a project.
Decarbonization is one of the most critical challenges facing industries today, and engineers are at the forefront of this transition. Already well-versed in concepts of energy efficiency and system optimization, momentum in this next facet of an engineer’s work has grown in even just the past few years and will continue to do so within the near future.
As the world grapples with the urgency of climate change, the role of engineers has become central in reducing carbon emissions across the scope of the building process.
