The American Society of Sanitary Engineering (ASSE) and the American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE) will work together to develop a joint plumbing dictionary. It will combine the current publications issued by each organization, bringing the plumbing community closer to having consistent, globally accepted terminology.

“Both ASSE and ASPE have a strong focus on providing technical expertise in helping to ensure that plumbing systems are designed, installed and maintained in a manner to ensure public health and safety,” said ASSE President Jim Bickford.

A joint committee has been formed comprising both ASSE and ASPE members, and the committee will soon begin its work. The finished product is expected to be released sometime in 2012.
