(2) Epoxy Powder Coatings in accordance with Mil-PRF-24712, Type I, Class 1, “Coatings, Powder” may be utilized provided that the recommendations of the powder manufacturer are followed.

L. Some Line Items invoke NAVSEA Standard Drawings 803-6397307, Rev. A and 803-5959310, Rev. A. (In general, these items are the 500 series Find Numbers.) Every item invoking Drawing 803-6397307, Rev. A is required to comply with the referenced details of Drawing 803-5959310, Rev.

A. Deviations from these drawings or areas subject to development are permitted only when noted with an asterisk (*) on the drawings. These drawings are commonly referred to as non-deviation drawings. The following additional requirements shall be complied with for all lockers invoking these drawings. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to specific details and pieces below are to Furniture Construction Details, Drawing 803-5959310, Rev. A.

(1) The applicable revision for both NAVSEA Standard Drawings 803-6397307 and 803-5959310 is Revision A. Manufacturers are cautioned to be certain that they are working to signed copies of these drawings.

(2) All locking bars, including Piece Number 305 of Drawing 803-5959310, Rev. A, shall be steel and shall be zinc plated after forming. This supersedes the material and material specification given in each drawing. Aluminum is not acceptable.

(3) All zinc plating shall be in accordance with ASTM B633 Type III, Service Condition SC2.

Wherever cadmium plating is specified, zinc plating may be used.

(4) The Removable Shelf, Piece Number 212, does not have sufficient clearance for installation or removal when made in accordance with Details 11-A and 13-A of Sheet 2.

LI_OP.DOC

(a) For lockers with a full width drawer across the bottom, the false bottom under the drawer, Piece Number 212, and supports, Piece Numbers 213 and 215, shall be omitted.

(b) For lockers which do not have a full width drawer across the bottom, the Removable Shelf, Piece Number 212 on Drawing 803-5959310, shall be made removable by making it in two pieces with a joggle up and ½-inch overlap in the middle; this overlap shall run from the front to the back of the locker. (This includes Troop Lockers, Find Numbers 0527W, 0527BW, 0527CW and 0527DW ARR.)

(5) The production sequence does not permit access to weld Rail, Piece Number 219, inside Stile Reinforcement, Piece Number 260, as required in Section 15A-D of Sheet 2A. These pieces shall instead be welded on the underside and the back of Piece Number 219, to the outside of Piece Number 260.

(6) The drawing is not clear regarding the depth of Head Rail, Piece Number 202, when applied to the larger Stile Reinforcement, Piece Number 260. For clarification, in order to permit access for spot welds to the Top, Piece Number 201, as shown in Detail 11-E of Sheet 2, the Head Rail assembly only needs to extend 2-1/2 inches back from the front of the locker. The bottom flange of Piece Number 202 does not need to extend all the way to the back of the larger Stile Reinforcement, Piece Number 260.

(7) There is inadequate access to make the fillet welds inside Head Rail, Piece Number 201, to the Stile Reinforcement, Piece Number 207 or 260, as shown in Detail 11-E of Sheet 2. Instead of making the weld inside, Piece Number 202 shall be welded to the Stile Reinforcement on the underside of the bottom flange.

(8) All the joints on the front face of the locker body, where the sides meet the top and bottom pieces and any divider shelf, shall be butt welded.

(9) Since there is only about ¼-inch of space between the front of the Side Reinforcement, Piece Number 214, and the front flange of the Rear Bottom Rail, Piece Number 205, there is inadequate clearance to make the fillet weld across the front of Piece Number 214 as shown in Detail 13-A of Sheet 2. Also, due to the production sequence, it would be very difficult to make the weld across the back of Piece Number 214. The Rear Bottom Rail, Piece Number 205, shall be reduced to about 3-3/4 inches wide, so that the front of Piece Number 205 is against Piece Number 214. The weld required on the front and back of Piece Number 214 to the web of Piece Number 205 shall then be replaced with a weld across the flange of Piece Number 205 to the front face of Piece Number 214. (In making the changes to the width of the bottom rails, care must be taken to fit the pieces and be certain that the holes for the mounting studs are in the exact location indicated on the drawings.)

(10) Similar to the connection described in subparagraph (6) above, there is inadequate clearance to weld the back side of the larger Stile Reinforcement, Piece Number 260, to the Front Bottom Rail, Piece Number 204, as required by Detail 11-A of Sheet 2. Similar to the solution described in subparagraph (9) above, Piece Number 204 shall be reduced to about 3-3/4 inches wide to fit the flange to Piece Number 260. Piece Number 204 and Piece Number 260 shall be welded along the side of Piece Number 260 to the web of Piece Number 204 and across the back of Piece Number 260 to the flange of Piece Number 204.

(11) There is inadequate access to make the fillet welds inside Parting Rail, Piece Number 218 to Stile Reinforcement, Piece Number 207 or 260, as shown in Detail 13E-A of Sheet 2E. Instead of making the welds inside, Piece Number 218 shall be welded to the Stile Reinforcement on the underside of the bottom flange, on the front and on the top. The front ½-inch of the top of Piece Number 218, under the rolled front lip of the shelf, does not have to be welded. The 3/32-inch fillet weld symbols pointing to the rolled front lip of the shelf in Detail 15-A on Sheet 2 and Detail 13E-A on Sheet 2E shall be interpreted as requiring a fillet weld around the top half of the circumference of the rolled front lip and a butt weld on the vertical front face of the shelf flange.

(12) When the larger Stile Reinforcement, Piece Number 260, is required, there is no place to make the spot welds joining the flange from the Side, Piece Number 201, to the underside of the Front Bottom Rail, Piece Number 204, as required in Detail 11-C of Sheet 2. Instead of the spot welds, two tack welds on the bottom, each ½-inch long and ground flush, will be used to join each Side to the Bottom Rail.

(13) There is insufficient room to make the spot weld joining the flange from the Side, Piece Number 201, to the underside of the Rear Bottom Rail, Piece Number 205, as required in Detail 13- C of Sheet 2. Piece Number 214 obstructs the access to make these two spot welds. Instead of the spot welds, two tack welds on the bottom on each side shall be used to join the Sides to the Bottom Rail. Each tack weld shall be ½-inch long and ground flush. All the spot welds joining the flange from the Back, Piece Number 201, to the underside of the Rear Bottom Rail, Piece Number 205, are still required except for the one at each end that is obstructed by Piece Number 214.

(14) It should be noted that General Notes 4, 5, 6 and 7 on Drawing 803-6397307 supersede the drawing details and reduce most material thickness’ by one gauge from what is shown in the details. The strength of spot welds may be reduced accordingly to that called out for the thinner material. The quantity and spacing of welds shall be as indicated on the drawings. It should be noted that most spot welds are called for to be no more than three inches apart.

(15) When the location of the Card Holder is not specified, the top of the Card Holder shall be located one inch below the bottom of the louvers. On some lockers, such as the Three Man Crew Locker, Find Number 0526W ARR, it will be necessary to modify the fasteners to clear the locking rod. Unless otherwise indicated, the louvers and Card Holder are centered from side to side on the doors.

(16) Each Side Reinforcement and Stile Reinforcement (such as Piece Number 207, 214 or 260) shall be a continual piece without seams from the bottom to the top of the locker unless a seam is specifically called for by the drawing.

(17) Type A subbases, Piece Number 500 and 507 should be steel instead of stainless steel and shall be painted black.

M. The manufacturer is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein including those invoked by referenced specifications. The manufacturer shall perform his inspections prior to the submittal of supplies to the Government.

(1) The Government reserves the right to perform any inspection set forth in the specifications where such inspection is deemed necessary to ensure that supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements.

(2) Items shall be inspected for contractual compliance, workmanship, functionality/operability, rigidity and appearance. Anything less than the workmanship described in Mil-PRF-32038 will be considered unacceptable. Static load testing is not required except for the shelf load on a sample of Find Number 0538W ARR, which must be tested to the load cited on the drawing.

(3) It should be anticipated that inspectors will audit the manufacturer’s compliance with internal inspection procedures, including documentation and performance of routine spot welding machine calibration and testing.

N. Each locker or other item shall be furnished by the manufacturer with all necessary fittings, fasteners, supports, etc. to be used by the installer when installing the item on a ship. Deck mounted items will attach to a generally flat (without shear or camber) steel deck. Items that do not attach to the deck shall be assumed to fasten to aluminum berths or lockers.

LI_OP.DOC

(1) Installation instructions shall be provided with each item. These instructions shall include a list of all loose pieces and fasteners provided. The installation instructions shall state that subbases should be “scribed and trimmed as feasible to suit any irregularities or slope of the deck so as to minimize the need for flashing.”

(2) Lockers identified under this solicitation are either stud mounted or fastened to subbases which are welded to the ship’s deck. As applicable, the welding of subbases to the deck shall be detailed in the installation instructions. Unless additional welding is needed for shock requirements, the subbases shall have two 2-inch long intermittent 1/8-inch fillet welds around the inside of the subbase with at least 2-inch fillets on the front and back of the subbase and at least one 2-inch fillet on each side. For stud mounted lockers, the welding of ½-inch deck studs shall be “automatic stud welding or ¼-inch fillet all around.”

(3) The fastener quantities provided shall include an overage of 20%. Fasteners shall be packaged in each locker. For other items, the fasteners shall be attached to the individual item.

Fasteners and loose pieces are not to be provided in bulk. The fasteners explicitly called out by the Line Item description to be omitted from the contract will be separately provided for by other means.

O. LIGHTS shall be in compliance with Mil-F-16377, the Specification Sheet invoked or applicable to the Symbol Number cited, and the following:

(1). The manufacturer shall have satisfactorily accomplished First Article Inspection and Testing on lights identical to those under this solicitation/contract. Supporting documentation of all First Article Inspection and Testing per Mil-F-16377, including shock and vibration testing, shall be retained (for three years after material delivery) and copies shall be provided to the government on request.

When documentation is requested, a copy of a prior government approval letter shall be included if applicable. New First Article Inspection and Testing in support of this solicitation/contract is only needed if there has been a change in production, methods, materials or facilities since the prior test sample(s) were made. Test and inspection documentation shall clearly indicate what configuration was tested, and there shall be documentation to correlate why the tested historical sample is still applicable to current production, such as confirmation that part manufacturer’s, and methods, and facilities have not changed since the testing was accomplished. Changing the cord material from a standard cord to a special cord required by this solicitation/contract is not cause to require new First Article Inspection and Testing, however the strain relief bushings must be confirmed to be tight.

(2). Plastic starters are not acceptable. (For information, this requirement is based on ISE Advisory 043-07.)

02 LOCKER MODIFICATIONS. Lockers referring to this Note (and their related subbases) shall be in accordance with the applicable NAVSEA drawings, the additional requirements and modifications of Habitability Self-Help Standard Details Drawing No. 80-3211-SK-09 (posted at https:\\www.MSCorpHab.com) and the following:

A. In lieu of any other hinges specified on Type drawings, a continuous hinge shall be used on each door, and this hinge shall be manufactured from 0.050 inches thick aluminum with a 1/8-inch diameter stainless steel pin. Hinges shall be secured to the locker body and door with 3/16-inch diameter rivets on four-inch centers. (Soiled Clothes Locker upper doors are an exception and shall have hinges per Note 03.)

B. The locker bottom and subbase shall be modified to provide for attachment to the top of a subbase, using one of the two following methods:

(1) Locker bottom and subbase shall either be similar to the Type “C” locker shown on NAVSEA Drawing 804-1749231, Rev. B and as indicated in Drawing No. 80-3211-SK-09, or,

(2) Locker bottom shall be similar to the Type 9 locker shown on NAVSEA Drawing 803-6397304, Rev. A and to suit a Type “B” subbase shown on Drawing 803-5959310, Rev. A. This method is a stud mount subbase, and the locker fastens to the top of the subbase with machine screws. If using this method, Note 06 below applies, but note 05 does not apply. Overall dimensions shall be as indicated in Drawing No. 80-3211-SK-09.

C. Interior compartments of lockers called out to be “left-hand” shall be modified to match the door swing in order to facilitate interior access.

03 SOILED CLOTHES LOCKERS. Delete Leg Assembly, Piece Numbers 15, 16, 17 and 18, from all Soiled Clothes Lockers. Type I Lockers, Find Numbers 0212 and 0212W ARR, and Type II Lockers, Find Numbers 0213 and 0213W ARR, shall be fully assembled by the manufacturer. Spring Hinges, Piece Number 5, shall have a tension adjustment and shall be capable of closing and holding the door firmly in the closed position. Locker and subbase are separate Find Numbers, and must work together. The high hat stiffener across the outside bottom of the locker may be omitted.

04 EMERGENCY ESCAPE BREATHING DEVICE (EEBD) STOWAGE CONTAINERS (Find Number 0224 ARR). Labeling and installation fasteners shall be as follows:

A. “EEBD” Lettering, referred to as Piece Number 5, and Pull Pin Label, Piece Number 6, may be either directly painted on the Stowage Container or made as labels on 0.020-inch thick aluminum base material. When made as labels, the EEBD lettering shall be the same size as the templates shown in Detail 3-E of the invoked drawing.

B. There shall be a photo-luminescent background that is the size of the templates shown on the drawing with the red lettering on top of the photo-luminescent background.

C. Label Markings. The label markings shall consist of opaque red lettering and an arrow symbol on top of a photo luminescent background. The photo-luminescent background may be film, plastic, paint or other material that complies with ASTM E2072. If photo-luminescent paint in accordance with A-A-50598 is used, a minimum of two coats shall be applied. If photo-luminescent self-adhesive vinyl or rigid PVC is used, it shall exceed an IMO luminosity standard of 2 mcd/m2 after 60 minutes in the dark. Lettering and the arrow symbol may be red reflective vinyl letters or red paint. If the lettering is applied as paint, the paint shall be opaque red gloss enamel Color 11105 of Fed-Std-595. Tape form labels shall be attached with pressure sensitive adhesive. Aluminum labels shall be applied with a commercial epoxy adhesive in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

LI_OP.DOC

05 SUBBASES. Subbases referring to this Note shall be in accordance with NAVSEA Drawing 804-1749231, Rev. B, to the size listed in the item description and as follows:

A. Each leg of each seam shall be continuously welded on one side, and the top and outside welds shall be ground smooth.

B. Steel subbases shall be constructed of 0.1196-inch thick sheet or 1/8-inch thick angle. Steel subbases formed from sheet shall have a 1/8-inch inside bend radius. The top of steel subbases shall have a continuous 2-inch wide horizontal flange across the front and 1-1/4-inch wide horizontal flanges at the sides and back.

C. Stainless steel subbases shall be fabricated from either 11 gauge (0.120-inch) stainless steel sheet or 1/8-inch thick angle. Stainless steel subbases formed from sheet shall have a 1/8-inch bend radius.

The top of stainless steel subbases shall have a 2-inch wide flange all the way around.

D. See Note 02 B(2) above regarding alternate subbase method.

06 LOCKER AND SUBBASE MODIFICATIONS. Items referring to this Note require a Type B Subbase in accordance with NAVSEA Standard Drawings 803-6397307, Rev. A and 803-5959310, Rev. A. Due to tolerance stack-up, the 12 holes specified by the Standard Drawings in the bottom of a Type 9 locker and in the subbase are difficult to align. The following modifications facilitate manufacture for interchangeability and removal and installation. Lockers and subbases made with these modifications are directly interchangeable with ones made precisely to the Standard Drawings.

A. Mounting holes in the bottom of lockers shall be changed from 5/16-inch diameter to 7/16-inch diameter to facilitate alignment with mounting holes and nuts in the subbase. See Detail 69-D of Drawing 803-6397307, Rev. A. In lieu of 7/16-inch holes, 3/8-inch holes may be used if needed for shock items; however the manufacturer is also responsible that the holes in the locker and subbase align for the fasteners.

B. Four (4) locker mounting holes, two from each side, which are shown on the drawing located 2-1/2 inches from the front and back of the lockers, shall be omitted. See Detail 69-D of Drawing 803-6397307, Rev. A. This will leave each single locker fastened to the subbase with at least eight (8) ¼-20 machine screws, and the screws located no more than about 6-5/8 inches apart.

C. The four (4) matching mounting holes and nuts, two from each side, which are shown on the drawing located 2-1/2 inches from the front and back of the subbases, shall be omitted. See Plan 26A-B of Drawing 803-5959310, Rev. A.

D. Change the weld attachment of the ¼-inch nuts on the underside of the subbase from the symbol for “1/8-inch fillet all around” to “weld two opposite sides” of the nut. See Detail 26A-E of Drawing 803-5959310. Suitable details for use of a threaded insert instead of a welded nut may be submitted for consideration as a deviation.

E. Due to the oversized hole in the locker bottom, change the fasteners for the locker to the subbase from “1/4-inch bolt, nut, flat washer & lock washer 6-inch CTR to CTR max” to “Screw machine, ¼-20 by ¾-inch long, hex head with SEMS washer, with pinch point (rounded) or dog point and nut.

Captive SEMS washer minimum ¾-inch OD. Hole pattern to interchangeably match locker.” Au-Ve-Co part 18023 is acceptable.
