3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
The following definitions shall apply in this Standard:
Fixture — a device that receives water, waste matter, or both and directs these substances into a drainage system.
Integral — a cast or formed part of a fixture, e.g., a trap, seat, or tank.
Lavatory — a washbowl or basin.
Pressure —
Flowing pressure — the pressure in a water supply pipe at the inlet to an open valve.
Static pressure — the pressure in a water supply pipe at the inlet of a closed valve.
Sanitary — an aesthetic condition of cleanliness (not the state of being microbiologically clean).
Water closet — a fixture with a water-containing receptor that receives liquid and solid body waste and on actuation conveys the waste through an exposed integral trap into a drainage system.
Dual-flush water closet — a water closet incorporating a feature that allows the user to flush the water closet with either a reduced or a full volume of water.
Electro-hydraulic water closet — a water closet with a non-mechanical trap seal incorporating an electric motor and controller to facilitate flushing.
High-efficiency water closet (high-efficiency toilet) — a water closet with an average water consumption of 4.8 Lpf (1 .28 gpf) when tested in accordance with ASME A1 1 2.1 9.2/CSA B45.1 .
Note: Dual-flush water closets with a maximum average water consumption of 4.8 Lpf (1.28 gpf) when tested in accordance with ASME A112.19.14 are also considered high-efficiency water closets.
Low-consumption water closet — a water closet with an average water consumption of 6.0 Lpf (1 .6 gpf) or less when tested in accordance with this Standard.
3.2 Abbreviations
The following abbreviations shall apply in this Standard:
gpf — gallons per flush
Lpf — litres per flush
4 Material requirements and general requirements
4.1 Materials
4.1.1 Pumps
Pumps shall comply with
(a) CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 1 08 or UL 778; and
(b) Clause 5 of this Standard.
4.1.2 Gaskets
Piping gaskets shall be watertight when tested according to Clause 5.
4.1.3 Electrical requirements The electrical system in the macerating unit shall comply with the applicable CSA Group or UL electrical standards.
4.1.4 Water closets Water closets that connect with the macerating system shall comply with ASME A1 1 2.1 9.2/CSA B45.1 , or CSA B45.5-/IAPMO Z1 24. The performance of the water closet shall be tested accordingly prior to connection to the macerating unit. The drain line carry test shall not be required. Water closets with an integral grinder/pump system shall be tested as a system.
4.1.5 Lavatories and sinks Lavatories or sinks that are a part of a pumped waste system or that connect to a macerating toilet system shall comply with ASME A1 1 2.1 9.1 /CSA B45.2, ASME A1 1 2.1 9.2/CSA B45.1 , ASME A1 1 2.1 9.3/CSA B45.4, or CSA B45.5-1 0/IAPMO Z1 24.1 0. The lavatory or sink shall not be required to conform to the drainage opening area and drain diameter of these standards.
4.1.6 Bathtubs Bathtubs that are a part of a pumped waste system or that connect to a macerating toilet system shall comply with ASME A1 1 2.1 9.1 /CSA B45.2, ASME A1 1 2.1 9.3/CSA B45.4, ASME A1 1 2.1 9.1 5, or CSA B45.5-1 0/IAPMO Z1 24.1 0. The bathtub shall not be required to conform to the drainage opening area and drain diameter of these standards.ASME A112.3.4 pdf download.ASME A112.3.4-2013 pdf free download
