Also in this issue, we share what contractors and homeowners should know about tankless water heaters, guidance for contractors on cold-weather solvent welding, and insights into the U.S. water heater market. And last but not least, the monthly columns, new products, and more.
September brings another relatively light round of PHCP-PVF price increases, with adjustments affecting pumps, valves, piping products, and other plumbing-related product categories, with increases from 3% to 30%.
