3.1 M E T H O D O L O G Y FOR PIPE SLEEVES INSTALLATION

3.2 M E T H O D O L O G Y FOR SLAB ON GRADE

INSTALLATION A. UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE SYSTEM

The following systems that can be found under slab on grade are; sanitary line, sewer line, soil
pipe, storm drainage/downspout, vents line and perforated pipe which uses hub less C.I pipe,
bell and spigot, PVC Pipe and R.C pipe. For water line used G.I pipe wrapped with jute sack to
prevent corrosion.

based on existing Drainage Line.
2. Place saddle to maintain the 1% slope of the embedded pipes at every 1.50 meters clear
distance.
3. Prepare Gravel beddings for embedded pipe to resist the vibration during compaction.
4. Layout PVC, Perforated Pipe or RC Pipe along the line and grade on the top of sand
beddings. Fit the pipe on the shape of the saddle provided. Maintain 1% slope on pipe.
5. For Perforated Pipe, maximum seepage action shall be ensured by wrapping the pipes
With sufficient and approved filter cloth surrounded by ¾” gravel.

6. The exposed pipes, fittings and joints couplings should be visually inspected and
examined.

5. Allow water to stand for one (1) hour.
6. During the span of one (1) hours, there should be no drop of more than 10mm.
7. All joints and connection must be check if free of leakage.
8. If defective fittings found, it should be remove and replace.
9. If leak found on the joints, it should be repair.
10. Repair and retest until such portion or section satisfactory passed the test.
11. Release water from the system and tap to the tapping point. Flushing of water will test
the tapping point.

B. DOWNSPOUT

1. Testing is conducted every three (3) floors

2. Plug tightly all necessary stub-outs opening.
3. Provide enough support at the bottom end of the pipeline to be tested.
4. Pour water at the highest point of the pipeline allowing air to escape and until water to flow
over.
5. During the span of one (1) hours, there should be no drop of more than 10mm.
6. All joints and connection must be check if free of leakage.
7. If defective fittings found, it should be remove and replace.
8. If leak found on the joints, it should be repair.
9. Repair and retest until such portion or section satisfactory passed the test.
10. Release water from the system and tap to the tapping point. Flushing of water will test
the tapping point.

3.14 S E C O N D FIX INSTALLATION

 3.15 T H I R D FIX INSTALLATION

TESTING & COMMISSIONING OF PLUMBING FIXTURES

A TOOLS & EQUIPMENT

1. Stop watch
2. Tissue paper
3. Rag / cotton waste & sponge (foam)
4. Pail
5. Screw driver (flat & Phillip)
6. Spud wrench
7. Soap (powder)
B PREPARATION
1. Check all sewer line from toilet if 100% completed. (Roughing ins & initial gravity
testing)
2. Check all sewer line tapped to manhole.
3. Ensure the tapping of sewer manhole to existing sewer line to avoid over flowing of
water.
4. Assign two (2) workers to assist the testing & commissioning group.
5. Ensure to conduct initial testing prior to final testing & commissioning to avoid
retesting.
6. Prepare testing form and attach key plan.

C PROCEDURE
1. Toilet bowl / water closet
Put ½ roll of tissue paper on the bowl. Flush the water closet and check the
draining time.
Draining time: min. of 3 sec.
max. of 10 sec.
2. Lavatory
Fill the bowl with water. Open the pop-up or plug and drain water and check
Draining time: min. of 20 sec.
max. of 45 sec.
3. Urinal
Put rubber plug into the drain to hold the water and fill up with water. Unplug to
release water and check the draining time. Draining time: min. of 3 sec. max. of 8 sec.

4. Floor drain / shower drain

Pour 1 pail of water in the floor drain and check the draining time and the water should be drained fast.

 WARNING
1. Use safety goggles when handling chlorine.
2. Deal with chlorine in an open space to avoid suffocation.
3. Water used in the disinfection process should not be used for drinking but excellent for
cleaning purposes like bathrooms and kitchen utensils.

MATERIAL TO BE USE

1. Calcium Hypochlorite (Chlorine)

2. Empty Container

EXECUTION AND PROCEDURE

1. Close all isolation valve and drain Valve of domestic water tank.
2. Fill the domestic tank with water up to its full capacity.
3. On separate container, dissolve a solution of calcium Hypochlorite (Chlorine) into water
with exact dosage.
4. Mix the solution to the water in the domestic tank.
5. Let the tank soak with chlorine at least 24 hours.
6. After 24 hours pump up the solution of water and chlorine to elevated tank and let the
elevated tank soak for at least 24 hours. Suspend the distribution of water by closing the
isolation valve of distribution system.
7. Open the isolation valve to distribution system to flush the chlorinated water to piping
System.
8. Open the isolation valve at every floor/unit to flush chlorinated water to the system,
wait until the elevated tank is empty.
9. Get water sample of piping system, domestic tank and elevated tank for potability test
