Preface

This is the first edition of ASME A112.19.5/CSA B45.15, Flush valves and spuds for water closets, urinals, and tanks.

This Standard replaces ASME A112.19.5-2005, Trim for Water-Closet Bowls, Tanks, and Urinals and the

requirements in Clauses 4.18.1, 4.18.3, and 5.8.7 of CSA B125.3-10.

This Standard is considered suitable for use with conformity assessment within its stated scope.

This Standard was prepared by the ASME/CSA Joint Harmonization Task Group on Plumbing Fixtures, under the jurisdiction of the ASME Standards Committee on Plumbing Materials and Equipment and the CSA Technical Committee on Plumbing Fixtures. The CSA Technical Committee operates under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Water Management Products, Materials, and Systems. This Standard has been formally approved by the ASME Standards Committee and the CSA Technical Committee. This Standard was approved as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute on September 1, 2011.

October 2011
