President’s Desk
By Jill Imig, P.E.
Congratulations to our very own student member Nora
Ureche who was awarded an Alfred Steele Scholarship to
pursue a degree in Architectural Engineering from
MSOE!
Thank you to NIBCO for the fun night of Networking at
AXE MKE!
It’s hard to believe that this is the last technical session of
the 2018-2019 season already - this year has seem to pass
by exceptionally fast! Reflecting back I am so proud of
all that we have accomplished as a chapter. Wisconsin
remains a strong solid chapter and the full credit for that
goes to our membership. I always enjoy coming to the
meetings and seeing the mix of age ranges and how every-
one openly interacts with each other. My goal is to always
make ASPE a welcoming experience for members and
visitors alike. Looking back to when I first joined ASPE
as a student member in 2006, I can remember often being
the youngest and the only female at the meeting, yet I
never felt singled out or like I wasn’t welcome. Kudos to
all of you for making this the greatest chapter in ASPE!
For those of you that were following all of the emails sent
out in the last month you saw that April was a very busy
month. We started the month out by a visit from ASPE
President Carol Johnson. Carol spend a full day at MSOE
speaking with the students and meeting with leader-
ship. In the evening, Carol presented to SWE on the topic
of “Making it in Leadership”. The presentation was well
received by all in attendance and I must not that a good
portion of the room was young men. I was inspiring to see
Carol’s message impact such a great group of future lead-
ers. We also had the honor of providing a special meeting
in which Carol presented to the chapter on what the Na-
tional board has been up to and what we can expect to see
in the future. The meeting turn out was small, but I think
those in attendance would agree that Carol and her board
on are the right track and we can expect great things in the
near future. The last event of the month was the AYP
networking event at AXE MKE. We had a blast (and I
came out of the night with $25)! This truly was a full
night of fun, laughs, learning and perhaps a few bruises or
two. Thank you to NIBCO for sponsoring this event.
Looking ahead to the summer, we will again be doing a
Brewer Game and a golf outing. I am still working out the
details of the Brewer Game as we needed to adjust the
format slightly this year due the lack of ticket availability.
Look for the sign up to come out shortly. Our golf outing
will be August 15 at the Broadlands Golf Club. Look for
the sign-up to come out at the end of June.
Hope to see you at the meeting!

Hello ASPE Members,
Now that the winter weather is hopefully behind us I thought it
would be a perfect time to discuss freeze protection within
plumbing systems. I hope that none of you had to deal with the
issue of a frozen or burst pipe over the winter but I would doubt
that that’s the case.
If you have ever been a part of a project that has had freezing
issues within the plumbing system you know there are a consid-
erable amount of resources spent to restore service when pipes
and mains freeze. This is especially true when you take into
account the water damaged caused by burst pipes, the potential-
ly difficult working conditions and the urgency from the facility
to repair the damages.
Most applications for freeze protection seem straight forward
enough on projects but there are always situations that aren’t as
clear. For example, if an architect shows plumbing fixtures on
an exterior wall should those branch lines be insulated? Should
they be installed with heat trace? Knowing when to account for
these circumstances can save hours a back tracking, finger
pointing and stress during the cold winter months in Wisconsin.
According the Michael Frankel’s book, Facility Piping Sys-
tems, it was believed that when ice formed inside a pipe or ves-
sel, it started on the pipe wall and grew uniformly inward until
the entire pipe was blocked. It was also thought that the only
apparent difference between the freezing that occurred in static
and flowing water was the difference in the rate due to the heat
created by the flowing water.
In actuality, it was found that as the ambient temperature fell,
an ice-water mixture was produced in the shape of rippled ice
surfaces that oved along with the water flow of water. This mix-
ture was found to be in the shape of a taper in cross section with
the smaller end pointed downstream. Further lowering of the
ambient temperature did not lead to thickening of the ice but
rather, a progressively closer spacing of the narrow ice bands.
In order to prevent the freezing of water in underground piping
systems, the pipes must be buried far enough below grade so
that the soil used as backfill provides enough insulation from
the air temperature to prevent the freezing process from start-
ing.
The most common way to protect interior water lines from
freezing is to either drain the line during the winter months or to
heat trace the portion of the system exposed to freezing condi-
tions. Heat tracing is typically achieved by an electric cable
installed within the supply piping insulation that maintains a
temperature above freezing conditions.
I hope everyone will enjoy the warm weather to come and I
look forward to seeing everyone at the next ASPE meeting.

ASPE Young Professionals Liaison By Jonathan Millard
Happy May!
Last month was a busy one for our chapter! Between the
national president’s visit, our regular ASPE meeting, and
our Axe Throwing networking event, we had a lot going
on!
I want to thank Evan McSorley and Aaron Kilburg from
Nibco for sponsoring the Axe Throwing event! We had a
great turnout of engineers, contractors, and reps all get-
ting together for a fun night of axe throwing and network-
ing.
As a chapter, our goal is to have 2 or 3 AYP networking
events a year, geared towards the younger professional
but open to all chapter members. If you have an idea for a
fun event that brings together professionals or have an
interest in sponsoring and/or co-sponsoring an event, feel
free to reach out to me!
Looking forward besides the Chapter Meeting on Le-
gionella, we have the annual brewer’s game and chapter
golf outing coming up this summer. Both events always
have great turnout and are a fun time; we’ll hope to see
you there!

Looking for a better alternative to zone balancing with a Circuit Setter?
Lower maintenance cost -TempFlow™ never requires costly balancing services in order to accurately maintain every zone at the target temperature.
TempFlow™ is factory set and field adjustable! Available factory set at the temperature you specify, from 100 to 160° F, yet changing target temperature is fast and easy. A locknut protects against tampering.
Energy savings - when a zone reaches temperature, the low flow rate maintains zone temperature without stagnant water or dead-heading the pump.
Better HW designs, lower cost - lower flow rates equate to smaller recirculation pumps. Efficient zone designs no longer need to be avoided due to the disadvantages of circuit setters. Every TempFlow includes a check and strainer.
Superior bather protection - TempFlow begins to reduces flow below your set point temperature to
minimize overshoot that could put a bather at risk. Call or email for info
A test port is standard - so you can easily bleed air during startup or verify thermometer accuracy. It also functions as a by-pass loop during sanitization .
Introducing... TempFlow TM Model TZV Thermostatic Zone Valve
The ASPE membership is expanding in April and into
May. We have several new members that are looking to join
us over the last few weeks:
Welcome back Matthew Marciniak of IAPMO! This brings
our current membership very close to the 140 mark at 137 and
counting!
The ASPE connect platform is very active with daily updates
and key membership benefits to take advantage of. We also
have an updated CEU online with ASPE June 19th to put on
your calendars. Legionella & pathogen control will be pre-
sented and discussed. You will not want to miss out!
Happy Birthday in May fellow ASPE members!!
