RE: American Pipe Lining NW System of Epoxy Coating for In -Place Pipe Restoration
VIA FACSIMILE
Dear Mr. Engleson:
The Office of the City Building Official is in receipt of your product request for American Pipe Lining
NW epoxy barrier coating and repair method for small diameter pipe. The APL -2000 epoxy product
has received compliance approval to ANSI/NFS Standard 61 which is a nationally recognized health
standard for all devices, components and materials which contact drinking water.
After review of the information provided, it is my determination as Building Official for the City of
Edmonds that the use of this epoxy coating and the repair methodology to install the product, are
approved as an alternate method/material under the provisions of Section 301.2 of the 2003 edition of
the Uniform Plumbing Code.
A plumbing permit shall be required for the plumbing repair method of epoxy barrier coating. All
work shall be performed in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. State licensed plumbers
shall complete all work associated with this material application. City business licenses are required
for plumbing contractors. City inspection shall be limited to verification of the tested and listed epoxy
material used on site. Plumbers shall be solely responsible for the proper cleaning of piping and all
aspects of the application of the epoxy barrier coating in piping. Walls exposed to access piping,
joints, etc, shall be inspected by the City prior to cover for penetrations of fire rated construction, fire
stopping, and/or sound transmission requirements.
This letter does not constitute an endorsement of the subject product and shall not be used in any
manner to promote American Pipe Lining NW product or the installation method.
Sincerely,
