   FOREWORD

   
   

   Nonwater urinals were introduced into the United States plumbing fixture marketplace in 1991. A national standard was developed by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) for the fiberglass version of the product, which was the only version available at that time. That standard, ANSI Z124.9, Plastic Urinal Fixtures, remains as a national standard. Later in the decade, another manufacturer introduced a nonwater urinal of vitreous china manufacture. No ANSI standard existed for that product. In 2002, Project Initiation Request (PIR) 02-22 was submitted to the ASME A112 Committee requesting that a standard be developed for the vitreous china product. On July 29, 2003, at its meeting in San Diego, California, the A112 Standards Committee formed a new Project Team 19.19 to address the request in PIR 02-22. The Project Team immediately began its work on the standard, which was created at that time and reaffirmed in 2006 and 2011. The current 2016 action revises the standard to add an option for

   a drain-cleansing feature.

   This Standard is similar in many respects to that portion of ANSI Z124.9 for plastic nonwater urinals. However, considerable discussion was given to incorporating a test for odors that would be more objective than that contained within the Z124.9 standard. As a result, the test method for odors that became a part of this Standard relied upon instrumentation to detect odors, if any, rather than the human nose.

   Suggestions for the improvement of this Standard will be welcome. They should be sent to The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Attn: Secretary, A112 Standards Committee, Two Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5990.

   This Standard was approved as an American National Standard on August 31, 2016.

CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE A112 COMMITTEE

General. ASME Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the consensus of concerned interests. As such, users of this Standard may interact with the Committee by requesting interpretations, proposing revisions or a case, and attending Committee meetings. Correspondence should be addressed to:

Secretary, A112 Standards Committee

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Two Park Avenue

New York, NY 10016-5990

https://go.asme.org/Inquiry

Proposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changes that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application of the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically.

The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should be as specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a detailed description of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation.

Proposing a Case. Cases may be issued to provide alternative rules when justified, to permit early implementation of an approved revision when the need is urgent, or to provide rules not covered by existing provisions. Cases are effective immediately upon ASME approval and shall be posted on the ASME Committee Web page.

Requests for Cases shall provide a Statement of Need and Background Information. The request should identify the Standard and the paragraph, figure, or table number(s), and be written as a Question and Reply in the same format as existing Cases. Requests for Cases should also indicate the applicable edition(s) of the Standard to which the proposed Case applies.

Interpretations. Upon request, the A112 Standards Committee will render an interpretation of any requirement of the Standard. Interpretations can only be rendered in response to a written request sent to the Secretary of the A112 Standards Committee.

Requests for interpretation should preferably be submitted through the online Interpretation Submittal Form. The form is accessible at https://go.asme.org/InterpretationRequest. Upon sub- mittal of the form, the Inquirer will receive an automatic e-mail confirming receipt.

If the Inquirer is unable to use the online form, he/she may mail the request to the Secretary of the A112 Standards Committee at the above address. The request for an interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recommended that the Inquirer submit his/her request in the following format:

Subject: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and the topic of the inquiry in one or two words.

Edition: Cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation is being requested.

Question: Phrase the question as a request for an interpretation of a specific requirement suitable for general understanding and use, not as a request for an approval of a proprietary design or situation. Please provide a condensed and precise question, composed in such a way that a “yes” or “no” reply is acceptable.

Proposed Reply(ies): Provide a proposed reply(ies) in the form of “Yes” or “No,” with explana- tion as needed. If entering replies to more than one question, please number the questions and replies.

Background Information: Provide the Committee with any background information that will assist the Committee in understanding the inquiry. The Inquirer may also include any plans or drawings that are necessary to explain the question; however, they should not contain proprietary names or information.

vi

Requests that are not in the format described above may be rewritten in the appropriate format by the Committee prior to being answered, which may inadvertently change the intent of the original request.

ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of any interpretation when or if additional information that might affect an interpretation is available. Further, persons aggrieved by an interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ASME Committee or Subcommittee. ASME does not “approve,” “certify,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity. Attending Committee Meetings. The A112 Standards Committee regularly holds meetings and/or telephone conferences that are open to the public. Persons wishing to attend any meeting and/or telephone conference should contact the Secretary of the A112 Standards Committee.

Future Committee meeting dates and locations can be found on the Committee Page at go.asme.org/A112committee.

The sanitary per- formance requirements and test procedures apply to all types of nonwater urinals that discharge into gravity waste systems in permanent buildings and structures independent of occupancy.

   2. Units of Measure

      Where values are stated in U.S. Customary units and the International System of Units (SI), the U.S. Customary units shall be considered as the standard.
