New PMG Program Releases Product Listings

ICC Evaluation Service, Inc. (ICC-ES) issued its first ten listings for plumbing, mechanical and fuel gas (PMG) products. The ICC-ES PMG Listing Program provides evidence for manufacturers, building departments and consumers that approved products meet requirements in codes and standards.

 “ICC-ES is a building department’s most preferred and trusted evaluation service,” said ICC-ES Director of Listing Programs Bernie Soesilo. “Many listing programs only verify that products meet standards requirements. The ICC-ES PMG Listing Program is unique because it’s the only program that checks products against codes and standards, making it much more valuable to code officials.”

Ducts, heating and cooling pipes, hood and ventilation equipment, and shower pan liners are among the products listed in the first round of ICC-ES PMG testing. Products are evaluated to meet the requirements of the International Plumbing, Mechanical, Residential and Fuel Gas Codes as well as the Uniform Plumbing and Mechanical Codes. Companies that received listings are W. A. Call Mfg. Co., Inc.; ACOME Corporation; Giles Enterprises, Inc.; Laticrete International, Inc.; Uponor North America; Clean Check, Inc.; Watts Radiant, Inc.; Ace Duraflo Systems; Uponor Rohrsysteme GmbH; and Titeflex Corporation/Gastite Division.

"We offer manufacturers quick turn-around times, very competitive pricing and wider recognition for our listings,” said Soesilo.

Manufacturers pursuing listings under the ICC-ES PMG Listing Program can expect to pay up to 20 percent less than services provided by other listing agencies. For more information or to view the listings, click here or call (800) 423-6587, ext. LIST (5478).

A nonprofit, public-benefit corporation, ICC-ES does technical evaluations of building products, components, methods and materials. ICC-ES evaluation reports and the new listing programs for plumbing, mechanical and gas products provide evidence that products and systems meet requirements in codes and standards. ICC-ES is a subsidiary of the International Code Council.

The International Code Council, a membership association dedicated to building safety and fire prevention, develops the codes used to construct residential and commercial buildings, including homes and schools. Most U.S. cities, counties and states choose the International Codes, building safety codes developed by the International Code Council.
