Exception: A vapor-retardant cover is not required for Outdoor pools deriving over 70 percent of the energy for heating from site-recovered energy, such as a heat pump or solar energy source computed over an operating season.” Section C404.8. Add section to read as shown: C404.8 Water flow rate controls. C404.8.1 Showers. Showers used for other than safety reasons shall be equipped with flow control devices to limit the water discharge to a maximum of 2.5 gpm (.16 L/S) per shower head at a distribution pressure of 80 psig (552 kPa) when tested in accordance with the procedures of ANSI A112.18.1M. Flow restricting inserts used as a component part of a showerhead shall be mechanically retained at the point of manufacture. C404.8.2 Lavatories or restrooms of public facilities. Lavatories or restrooms of public facilities shall: 1. Be equipped with outlet devices which limit the flow of hot water to a maximum of 0.5 gpm (.03 L/S) or be equipped with self-closing valves that limit delivery to a per cycle maximum of 0.25 gallons (.95 L) of hot water for recirculating systems and to a maximum of 0.50 gallons (1.9 L) for non-recirculating systems. Exception: Separate lavatories for physically handicapped persons shall not be equipped with self-closing valves. 2. Be equipped with devices which limit the outlet temperature to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). 3. Meet the provisions of 42 CFR 6295 (k), Standards for Water Closets and Urinals.
