PART 3 - PIPING INSTALLATION

3.1 Before installing piping, check mechanical drawings with architectural,

interference may appear and departures from indicated arrangements are
required due to changed locations and elevations of piping, obtain written
permission for proposed changes from the Client Eng./ Consultant. Pipes

Domestic Water Pipes and Tubes 221116 - 3

 WAM BORDER
UAE-OMAN_DIBBA AL FUJAIRAH

materials shall be as specified and per approved sample.

3.2 Arrange and install piping to obtain maximum head room, avoiding
structural interference. Where piping is to be furred in, or concealed, the
Contractor shall coordinate the work to maintain his lines and levels.

3.3 Arrange and install piping approximately as indicated. Install piping

parallel to building walls. Cut all pipes accurately to measurements taken at
the site and install without springing or forcing. Make all changes in
direction with fittings. Locate groups of pipes parallel to each other, spacing
them at such a distance so as to permit the application of insulation. Pipes
transporting hot fluids shall be installed at least
6" (150 mm) away from pipes transporting cold fluids.

3.4 The inside of all pipe, fittings, traps, valves and other equipment shall be
smooth, clean and free from blisters, loose mill scale, sand and dirt when
erected. Protect the open ends by using temporary plugs or caps.

3.5 The slope of the line shall be uniform between established elevations
without pockets.

3.6 Where piping of dissimilar metals, including copper piping and ferrous
materials, are joined provide dielectric couplings.

3.7 Install piping serving all equipment in such a manner that only small sections
need be removed to permit removal, cleaning or inspection (as applicable)
of the unit itself, or coils, tube bundles or heat exchangers contained therein.

3.8 Provide flanged or union connections for ready disconnection of

piping at equipment. Vectaulic couplings may be used in lieu of unions or
flanges where permitted by the Client Eng./ Consultant. Do not place
any union or flanged connection in a location which will be inaccessible after
completion of the building. For piping up to and including 2 inch (50 mm), and
where indicated on the drawings, install a union on each side of each control
valve, regulator, etc. on one side of each check valve, and at all pieces of
equipment without flanged connections such as pumps, air coils, tanks,
etc., in order that such equipment may be readily disconnected. Use
flanged connections on piping over 2 inches (50 mm) and where indicated on
the drawings. Where flanged valves, regulators, etc., do not permit the
removal of flange bolts, separate two such devices by a spool. Always use a
spool to separate equipment to be isolated by a butterfly valve.

3.9 Where raised face flanges are to be mated with flat face equipment or valve
flanges, the raised face of line flanges shall be removed. Bolt holes shall
straddle centre lines. Steel flanges to be bolted to cast iron valves of
equipment nozzles shall be flat faced, with full gaskets. In piping material
classes permitting use of both welding neck and slip-on flanges, use of
welding neck flanges shall be restricted to locations adjacent to welding fittings
and butterfly valves.

3.10 Locate all valves for easy access.

3.11 Piping and pipe sizes not indicated on the drawings shall be of size as

Domestic Water Pipes and Tubes 221116 - 4

 WAM BORDER
UAE-OMAN_DIBBA AL FUJAIRAH

specified or as recommended by equipment manufacturers and in

accordance with the requirements of the authorities having jurisdiction. Pipe
runs shall be subject to the approval of the Client Eng./ Consultant.

3.12 Use long radius type elbows where space permits.

3.13 Pipe all relief valves, backflow preventers and drain valves to nearest floor drain.

3.14 Steel piping installed in inaccessible locations shall have welded joints.

3.15 Apply two coats of asphalt paint to all pipe laid in concrete or passing
through concrete.

3.16 All pipes shall be concealed inside walls, and/or furred spaces unless
specifically indicated otherwise.

3.17 Water pipes shall not run above electrical installations.

3.18 Provide appropriate expansion joints or loops to compensate for thermal

effects as well as at building structural joints.

3.19 Carry out, without cost, all alternations necessary in the arrangement of work
which has been installed without proper study and approval in order to
make such work come with finished lines of walls, ceilings and floors or to
allow the installation of the work of others.

PART 4 - EXECUTION

4.1 Pipe passing under a driveway or parking lot with less than 1.5 m cover
shall be encased in 150 mm of 1.37 MPa concrete on the top, bottom and
sides.

4.2 Compaction for the full width of the pipe trench shall be to at least 95%
Modified Proctor Density.

4.3 Connections between piping of steel and copper or brass shall be made
using dielectric fittings.

4.4 Provide thrust blocks for buried water mains, at every change in direction
of the pipe, to resist the thrust due to the test pressure and unexpected
surge during operation. Thrust blocks shall be poured against undisturbed
soil.

4.5 Allow for the expansion and contraction of all pipes. Install expansion joints to
have sufficient flexibility to prevent end thrust and movements caused
by thermal expansion and contraction which can cause damage to piping
and joints. For all PVC, PPRC and HDPE piping, provide expansion joints as
required to absorb all movements in piping systems.

4.6 Provide expansion joints for all piping at building expansion joints. Expansion
joints for PVC, PPRC and HDPE piping shall be as recommended by the
manufacturer. Expansion joints for steel and copper piping shall be as
described in Section 15304.

 WAM BORDER
UAE-OMAN_DIBBA AL FUJAIRAH

4.7 Provide water hammer arrestors to prevent development of water hammer

in the water distribution system. Water hammer arrestors shall be installed
in accordance with the recommendations of the Institute of Plumbing, good
engineering and code
of practice and as shown on drawings. Water hammer arrestors shall be as
per the
Client Eng./ Consultant approved list of manufacturers.

4.8 Flush all fluid-carrying systems after completion with a stream of water or
appropriate fluid at the highest obtainable pressure and velocity. Discharge
the flushing fluid through all strainers and out through line sized valves with
hose ends. Clean all strainers. Repeat flushing operation to the approval of
the Client Eng./ Consultant until the water is running clear, colourless and
odourless.

4.9 If the water pressure normally available on site is, in the Client Eng./
Consultant opinion, inadequate to perform proper flushing, then the Contractor
shall provide at his own expense, pumps, tanks, etc., to give pressure and
volume flows to the satisfaction of the Client Eng./ Consultant.

4.10 For layer systems, the flushing and cleaning shall be carried out in sections of
every three floors.

4.11 All piped pressure systems shall be hydraulically tested to at least 1.5
times the operating pressure. Pressure shall be maintained for at least 24
hours.
