President's Message Membership pins for 2016-2017 are available for Chapter members that renewed their membership. Pins will be distributed at the monthly meetings, or contact me at asmith@ibceng.com. The Chapter’s delegates for the 2016 Convention are Dave Jereckos, Adam Kramer, Dave Myers and myself. If there are any Society related items you would like your delegates to address at the Convention, please contact one of us by October 21st. The 2015 I-Codes and the 2016 NYS Uniform Code Supplement are the current New York State Codes, effective October 3rd. There are some significant changes from the previous 2010 NYS Codes. The 2015 IPC (International Plumbing Code) sizes storm drainage piping by flow rate (gpm) vs. roof area served. The 2015 IFGC (International Fuel Gas Code) no longer permits gas piping through building foundation walls. The 2010 FGC permitted penetrations through the walls if the pipe was sleeved and the annular space between the pipe and sleeve were sealed. Alan Smith, P.E. Rochester Chapter President
