We are having a problem finding a product which meets the specification for ‘backwater valve’;

Could the VA provide a product which meets the spec?

No, we do not recommend a specific product. The standard is ASME A112.14.1-2003. Contractor to provide recommendation for variance for review.

Double Tee with topping slab vs. pre-topped

Both require a caulk joint as part of finished project approx. 8200LF

The topping slab version will require a sealing of the gaps between Ts and edge walls, again approx. 8200LF. This is a doubling of effort and or may involve different joint design and or products.

Q: will the VA request GCs to provide alternate pricing for pre-topped vs. topping slab design and if so is there a sealant joint design change also. Historically, some projects have a change, and some do not.

The quantity of joints requiring sealant is the same in both the field-topped and pre-topped versions. Sealant joint geometry will change. In the field-topped version, tooled joints in the topping slab are required over the double tee flange joints (see details 4/SF531 & 4/SF541). In the pre-topped version, backer rod and sealant will be required in the open joints created by the pre-topped precast (see detail 19/SF541).
