During the 1880's, the transition from outhouses to indoor plumbing was moving at a rapid pace. The true craftsmen sought ways to distinguish those who knew what they were doing from those who didn't. In 1882, a group of these new tradesmen in New York City banded together to form the Master Plumbers Association of New York. Shortly afterward, a like-minded group joined forces in Brooklyn. NAMP was the forerunner of the National PHCC, the oldest construction trade association in America. The Tennessee Association of Plumbing, Heating, Cooling Contractors, Inc., is a not-for-profit association founded in 1897 for the purpose of providing services to plumbing-heating-cooling contractors and the PHC industry.
