CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS 13 March 2000 Minutes Page 2 "SUBJECT TO APPROVAL" AGENDA ITEM NO.7: Hear a presentation from Steve Cook with Southwest Representatives concerning Aquapex polyethylene water supply tubing. Lance Simms introduced Steve Cook with Southwest Representatives to the Board. Lance explained that Mr.Cook had approached him about the possibility of using Aquapex polyethylene tubing as water supply piping in College Station. Lance explained to Mr.Cook that the City of College Station had an amendment to the plumbing code that prohibited the use of polyethylene tubing. Lance continued by reminding the Board that the City would be considering the adoption of the 2000 International Plumbing Code later this year and that would be a good time to take a look at all of our code amendments. Mr.Cook took the floor and thanked the Board for the opportunity to make a presentation. Mr. Cook stated that the reason for his presentation was to familiarize the Board with Aquapex tubing in hopes that a recommendation could be made to the city Council to remove the amendment in the plumping code that prohibits the use of polyethylene tubing in College Station. Mr.Cook continued by passing out samples of Aquapex tubing and explaining that the product was not new to the market. He stated that Aquapex tubing has been used as water distribution piping for about thirty years. Mr.Cook demonstrated the method to make joint by using a special tool that expands the tubing to allow fittings to be connected to the tubing. He entertained several questions from the Board concerning the bending radius,application,and installation of Aquapex tubing. Dan Sears asked Mr.Cook to supply information on the acceptance of Aquapex tubing in other communities as well as any technical information on the product.Mr.Cook agreed to do so and Dan Sears stated that the Board would look at any information submitted and make a decision on a recommendation to City Council at a later date. The Board thanked Mr.Cook for making his presentation. AGENDA ITEM NO.8: Adjourn The meeting was adjourned.
