Recent changes: Corrected standards references: air gap is ASME A112.1.2 (not ASSE 1001) and the hose connection vacuum breaker is ASSE 1011. Safety fixes: solar heating (glycol), toilet/urinal flush valves are now classified high hazard (DCVA removed where not legal), and a separate "Boiler with chemical treatment" application (RPZ) was added.
