Service life

20 yearsas stated by one source
05101520252020

Years in service. One stated life so far; the band will widen as sources are added.

One source. This value rests on a single document (CNA e-Tool Estimated Useful Life Table, p9). Treat it as that source's figure, not a settled life, until others confirm it.

Basis

  • 20 years · CNA e-Tool Estimated Useful Life Table, p9 · HUD CNA 3.4.1.1.6 “Domestic Cold Water Pumps” — U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (planning life)
    Same life for family and elderly properties. US multifamily housing. HUD's row is "domestic cold water pumps", which in multifamily buildings are mostly booster pumps.

How sources are chosen and recorded: sourcing policy.

Municipal lives for plumbing (D20)

26 municipalities in Ontario and British Columbia state a life for plumbing as a whole, in 18 distinct tables: 15–50 years, median 25. 34 rows come from capital asset policies (accounting lives, used for amortization) and 1 from asset management plans (planning lives, used to forecast replacement). They describe the system rather than this component, and none is a measured life.

Years. Each dot is one stated life and each bar a stated range; equal values stack. Hollow marks are planning lives from asset management plans; filled marks are accounting lives from policies. The dashed line is the median. Policies that copy the same table count once.
