PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.01
Examine substrates and conditions under which pipe expansion joints, pipe alignment guides, and pipe anchors are to be installed. Do not proceed until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected. Install pipe expansion joints according to manufacturer's written instructions. Align expansion joints to avoid end-loading and torsional stress. Use rubber sphere packless type expansion joints for pipes up to 200 mm and metal-bellows packless type for pipes above 200 mm. FABRICATED-TYPE PIPE EXPANSION COMPENSATION INSTALLATION Install pipe expansion loops cold-sprung in tension or compression as required to absorb 50 percent of total compression or tension that will be produced during anticipated change in temperature. Connect risers to mains with at least 5 pipe fittings including tee in main. Connect risers to terminal units with at least 4 pipe fittings including tee in riser. Install pipe alignment guides on piping that adjoins pipe expansion joints. Install pipe alignment guides on piping that adjoins pipe expansion loops. Install pipe alignment guides on piping elsewhere as indicated. Secure pipe alignment guides to building substrate. Install pipe anchors at proper locations to prevent stresses from exceeding those permitted by ASME B31.9 and to prevent transfer of loading and stresses to connected equipment. Fabricate and install anchors by welding steel shapes, plates, and bars to piping and to structure. Comply with ASME B31.9 and with AWS D1.1. Construct concrete pipe anchors of poured-in-place concrete of dimensions indicated. Where pipe expansion joints are indicated, install pipe anchors according to expansion unit manufacturer's written instructions to control movement to compensators. EXPANSION FITTINGS AND LOOPS FOR PLUMBING PIPING Pipe Anchor Spacings: Where not otherwise indicated, install pipe anchors at ends of principal pipe runs, at intermediate points in pipe runs between expansion loops and bends. Preset anchors as required to accommodate both expansion and contraction of piping. Use grout to form flat bearing surfaces for pipe expansion joints, pipe alignment guides, and pipe anchors that are installed on or in concrete. Touching Up: Clean field welds and abraded areas of shop paint and paint, exposed areas immediately after erecting hangers and supports. Use same materials as used for shop painting. Comply with SSPC-PA 1 requirements for touching up field-painted surfaces. Apply by brush or spray to provide a minimum dry film thickness of 2.0 mils (0.05 mm). Touching Up: Cleaning and touchup painting of field welds, bolted connections, and abraded areas of shop paint on miscellaneous metal is specified in Division 9 Section "Painting & Coating". Galvanized Surfaces: Clean welds, bolted connections, and abraded areas and apply galvanizing-repair paint to comply with ASTM A 780.
