• Clarified valve arrangement requirements and added Annex figures are consistent with NFPA 13.
• Revised Section 6.1 helps users identify the permitted exceptions to indicating valves, and also now permits non-listed tapping sleeve and valve assemblies in connections to municipal water supplies.
• An added statement allows underground fittings to be used aboveground to transition to aboveground piping.
• Because steel pipe is required to be listed other than in the Fire Department Connection (FDC) line, steel underground piping references were removed from the table in Chapter 10.
