SECTION 15600 (CONT.)
Pipes, Valves and Fittings for HVAC Heating and Cooling Systems
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
B. If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
B. Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
C. Provide openings as necessary to permit installation of piping or any other part of work under this Section.
D. Provide sleeves for piping penetrating foor and masonry walls.
E. This Contractor shall be responsible for establishing sizes and locations of all openings and lintels in new work and to transmit this information
to the Contractor whose work is involved at such time as to avoid cutting and patching.
F. All patching shall match adjacent surfaces.
G. Contractor shall inspect and take note of existing conditions along with the Owner's Representative to avoid disputes regarding the condition
of existing surface before work began.
H. Openings through existing concrete shall be core-drilled or saw cut.
3.3 INSTALLATION
A. Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
3.4 VALVE INSTALLATION
A. Tri-Service Valves - Models FTV-S, FTV-A:
1. Mount valve to a spool piece on the discharge side of the pump. Spool piece required is based on a minimum recommended space of 12
inches (305 mm) for pump sizes 2 inches by 2 inches (51 mm by 51 mm) to 6 inches by 6 inches (152 mm by 152 mm) and 24 inches (610 mm)
for pump sizes 8 inches by 8 inches (203 mm by 203 mm) to 12 inches by 12 inches (305 x 305 mm).
2. Do not mount valve directly to pump to avoid causing undesirable noise in the system.
3. Leave suffcient clearance around valve for valve removal or repair.
4. Install valve in the direction of fow arrows on valve body.
5. Mount valve to fanged equipment using Gruvlok Flange Adapter or industry standard grooved coupling, suitable for system pressure and
temperatures encountered.
6. Valve body has been designed to handle the weight of the pump on vertical in-line installations. The valve body is not designed to support
the piping weight. Support piping by hangers. Provide pipe supports under valve and strainer bodies.
B. Globe Valves - Model GBV-S (Soldered), GBV-T (Threaded), Balancing Valves - Model GBV-G (Grooved-End Straight), GBV-A (Grooved-End Angle):
1. To ensure accuracy of measurement of GBV-S, GBV-T, GBV-G and GBV-A valves, locate valves at least 5 pipe diameters downstream from
any ftting and at least 10 pipe diameters downstream from a pump.
2. Install no fttings within 2 pipe diameters downstream of valve.
3. Install valves with fow in the direction of the arrow on the valve body.
4. Provide easy access to probe metering ports (PMPs), drain ports and hand wheel.
5. For solder applications, solder valve body in line using 95/5 solder.
6. Install valve-bonnet assembly into body, making sure non-asbestos gasket is in place.
7. Install valves in horizontal or vertical piping as indicated.
8. Do not install metering ports below the pipe (pointing down), as this will allow system sediment to accumulate in the ports.
9. Metering ports and body/drain plugs may be interchanged for improved accessibility.
3.5 PROTECTION
A. Protect installed products until completion of project.
B. Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
