About this file

This is Section 22 00 00 of technical specifications covering plumbing and general purpose requirements for the Marine Barracks Washington Quarters 6 rehabilitation project. The specifications detail requirements for plumbing systems including water heaters, backflow preventers, pipe materials, fittings, valves, drains, traps, and related components.

Key requirements include: gas-fired water heaters must meet minimum energy factor ratings (EF=0.67 for 50 gallons or less); piping materials and fittings must conform to specified ASME, ASTM, and other standards as detailed in the comprehensive materials tables; testing and inspection procedures are required for all plumbing systems including pressure tests, operational tests, and disinfection; backflow prevention devices must be approved by state/local agencies; and pipe identification and labeling requirements are specified. The document includes detailed tables outlining approved pipe and fitting materials for different services (drainage, waste, vent, pressure piping) and standard rating conditions for water heating equipment.
