 FOREWORD
(This Foreword is not part of ASME A112.6.1M-1997.)

Much of the design evolution of sanitary plumbingware has occurred during this century
--`,````,``,,`,``,```,,,```,,`,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

as water supply and waste systems gained universal acceptance as a basic necessity. About
midway through this period, the desirability of off-the-floor water closets and their inherent
advantages in improving toilet-room sanitation was recognized. Wide use of this new concept,
however,was delayed for many years. Whenthefirst off-the-floor closets were designed,
the problems of supporting and connecting them to waste systems had not been anticipated;
andas a result there were damaged walls and partitions and leaking waste systems. Slowly,
a few supporting methods were developed and marketed, but in many instances, installations
of off-the-floorfixturesstillpresentedproblems. Then, subsequent toWorldWar 11, with
the introduction of the combination wastefittingand supporting system for off-the-floor
water closets, installation wassimplifiedandproblemswere eliminated tothe extent that
nowthis sanitary approach tomodemtoiletroomdesignhasbecome commonplace.
After such a long development period, the manufacturers of fixture supports were keenly
aware of theneed for sound design and engineering practices. Accordingly, the benefits of
basic design standards were apparent to them and a study was initiated as an industry effort
in 1961. Prior to the completion of this work, ASA Sectional Committee A1 12 (subsequently
designatedtheAmericanNational Standards Committee AI 12,and currently theASME
Standards Committee A1 12, Standardization of Plumbing Materials and Equipment) was
organized and Panel No. 6 of this Committee was assigned the responsibility of developing
standards for fixture chair carriers and other supports for off-the-floor fixtures. The original
standard resulting fromthis assignment wasgranted approval by theAmericanNational
Standards Institute onMarch2,1972, and issuedasANSI A112.6.1-1972.
Engineering members of thePlumbing & Drainage Institute were appointed totheTask
Forces of Pancl No. 6 onOctober18,1976 to prepare a revision. The firstmeetingwas
heldonJuly27,1977, following which a rough draft of therevisionwas submitted tothe
task force members. Changes weremadeandtheproposalwas approved by PanelNo. 6
and subsequently by the A1 12 Main Committee. That revision was approved by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) on November15,1979. The standard was reviewed
again in 1986, resulting in a new format and an expanded scope. This revision of the 1979
editionwasapproved by ANSIonNovember17, 1988.
This current revision includes minor improvements, including the expansion of mandatory
language. Suggestions for improvements to thisStandardshouldbe sent to The American
Society of Mechanical Engineers, Attn: Secretary, A1 12 Main Committee, 345 East47th
Street, New York, NY 10017.
This revisionwasapproved as an AmericanNational Standard on September 8, 1997.
