PART 3 – EXECUTION
3.01 INSTALLATION:
A. Install items in accordance with manufacturer's printed instructions and as indicated and
specified.
B. Ensure interior lines parallel to building walls wherever possible. Install piping to
accurate lines and grades, and support. Provide pipe supports as specified under Section
15056 except runs of PVC piping. Where temporary supports are used, ensure rigidity, to
prevent shifting or distortion of pipe. Provide for expansion.
C. Support piping laid in trenches in trench on bed of selected backfill material which
maintains desired line and grade.
D. Pitch all piping toward low points. Provide for draining low points.
E. Before assembly, remove all dirt and chips from inside pipe and fittings.
F. Use dielectric bushings or unions when ferrous pipes join nonferrous pipes carrying
liquid either underground or elsewhere.
G. Welding in accordance with ANSI Standard B31 and AWS B3.0.
3.02 WALL SLEEVE SEALS:
A. Expand rubber against pipe and sleeve by tightening bolts when assembled around pipe
and inserted in wall.
3.03 TEMPORARY PLUGS:
A. Close open ends of pipe with temporary plugs or caps when pipe installation is not in
progress. Use watertight plugs for exterior, buried piping and if water or debris is in
trench when work is resumed, do not remove until adequate provision has been made to
prevent any water or debris entering pipe even if it necessitates dewatering trench.
3.04 TESTING:
(NTS: Section 01680 does not exist as a Masterspec and must be developed specifically for
the project.
B. After installation, test all pipelines for watertightness. Furnish testing plugs or caps,
pressure pumps, pipe connections, gauges, all equipment, all labor, and all water.

C. Do not cover joints in underground piping with backfill material until piping has
successfully passed pressure test.
D. Test pressures as indicated in Process Pipe Schedule.
E. Repair faulty joints even to extent of disassembling and remaking joint, remove defective
pipe and fittings and replace in manner satisfactory to the Owner.
3.05 FIELD PAINTING:
A. Furnished and applied by Painting Subcontractor as specified in Section 09941.
3.06 CONTRACT CLOSEOUT:
