About this file

This is a technical specification document for plumbing piping work as part of project 25-388 CBI HVAC and Lighting Upgrade. The specification establishes comprehensive requirements for the design, materials, and installation of plumbing systems including sanitary waste piping, domestic water piping, storm drainage piping, and natural gas piping. The scope encompasses both buried piping within 5 feet of the building and above-grade installations, along with related components such as pipe flanges, unions, couplings, hangers, supports, and valve systems. The specification details product requirements across multiple categories: sanitary waste piping may utilize cast iron (either hub-and-spigot or hubless), copper tube, or PVC pipe depending on application; domestic water piping options include copper pipe, ductile iron pipe, or cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) with manufacturers such as Uponor, Inc., SharkBite, and Zurn Industries specified; natural gas piping requires steel pipe with welded or threaded joints; and both ball valves and butterfly valves must meet MSS standards with specific pressure ratings and materials.

The specification references over 50 industry standards and codes including ASME, ASTM, AWWA, ASSE, NSF, and UL standards to ensure compliance and quality. Installation requirements mandate adherence to manufacturer instructions, proper gradient maintenance, dielectric connections for dissimilar metals, and compliance with ASME B31.9 for water piping. The document includes specific requirements for pipe hanger spacing based on pipe size and material type, with metal piping spacing ranging from 6.5 feet for smaller pipes to 20 feet for pipes 14 inches and larger, while plastic piping maintains a maximum 6-foot spacing. Additional execution requirements include disinfection of domestic water piping systems using chlorine solutions, provision of isolation valves for individual dorm rooms and restrooms, UV-resistant painting for exposed PVC roof vents, and post-construction flushing of the sanitary sewer system in the presence of Owner's facility personnel. All potable water system components must comply with NSF 61 and NSF 372 standards for health effects and lead content limitations.
