S&B Division Plumbing
Products Database Search
What's in this database?
The
Wisconsin
Plumbing Products Register Database includes pools, plumbing
products, and plumbing
systems
that have been issued an approval, an alternate approval, or an
experimental approval, or have had their approval rescinded. (There is
voluntary approval of Private Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems
components.) Pools,
plumbing products, or systems receiving experimental approvals may only
be used at the installation site specified in the experimental approval
letter. Rescinded approvals take affect the day the rescission letter
is issued. Products or systems installed prior to the expiration date
or date of rescission do not need to be removed.
Plumbing
products in the following
categories must be individually approved by the Safety and Buildings
Division before they can be sold or installed for use in a plumbing
system in the State of Wisconsin.
1. Chemical or
biochemical treatments for POWTS (see note
a)
2.
Health care
plumbing appliances
3. Physical restoration processes for POWTS

Drinking water treatment devices or bottled water vending machines (see

8. Exterior grease
traps
9. Alternate or

10. Voluntary

Note
a: The use of
chemical or biochemical septic tank additives does
not replace the need for a regular program of inspection and
maintenance, including pumping out the tank when volume of sludge and
scum occupies 1/3 of the tank's liquid capacity. Review of septic tank
additives is not performed to evaluate if they work or not; they are
reviewed to ensure they will not harm the user, the septic system, and
the groundwater.
Note b: Water softeners that are tested and listed by an
ANSI
accredited listing agency (e.g. NSF International, U.L.) as complying
with ANSI/NSF Standard 44 are exempt from plumbing product review and
approval requirements.
