NC-2009 MRc4: Recycled Content
Hi I know accessories are included but are actual plumbing fixtures included in these calcs? They are not with Divs 3-10

The recycled content percentage on the product data sheet is given as a range. What should I do?
Is the default average recycled content value of 25% for steel still allowed?
Can site materials, such as soil, be included in the MR credit calculations?
Are there recycled content claims that I should be wary of?

Erika - You answered your own question - since plumbing fixtures are not specified in the Divisions outlined for the MR credits (Divisions 03-10 and the required sections in 31 and 32), they are NOT included in the calculations. In addition, the credit requirements specifically say: "Mechanical, electrical and plumbing components, and specialty items such as elevators and equipment cannot be included in all calculations."
