Piping Updates to CSA/ANSI/IGSHPA C448 and Projected Design Life of Ground Heat Exchangers
Presented by: Lance MacNevin, P.Eng., The Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI)
Lance MacNevin, a member of the CSA C448 Technical Committee, walks through what changed for piping in the 2025 edition of CSA/ANSI/IGSHPA C448 and what the latest guidance says about how long ground loops last.
What you'll learn:
- More stringent requirements for HDPE pipe, plus the addition of PE-RT materials
- New requirements for installing and pressure testing ground heat exchangers
- Highlights from the newly released PPI Statement AF, “Projected Design Life of Plastic Piping Used in Ground Heat Exchangers,” covering design life and service life of GHX piping
- PPI resources available to support the GSHP industry
About the presenter: Lance is senior director of engineering for PPI's Building & Construction Division and has worked in the plastic pipe industry since 1993. He is an active member of ASHRAE, ASTM, CSA, IGSHPA, and other codes and standards bodies.
