About this file
This is a federal plumbing specification section (Section 22 00 00) for the ME ANG Fuel Cell Hangar project (PN: FKNN159044), established in May 2024.
The specification establishes comprehensive requirements for plumbing system design, materials, installation, and testing. Materials must comply with industry standards including ASME, ASTM, ANSI, AWWA, MSS, and NSF certifications. Pipe materials vary by service type: PVC is specified for drainage, waste, and vent systems; copper tubing (Types K, L, or M per ASTM B88) for potable water; and steel pipe for compressed air systems. All materials must be NSF-certified for potable water applications, with lead content certification per NSF 372. Fixtures include wall-hung lavatories, kitchen sinks, service sinks, flush valve water closets and urinals, drinking water coolers, emergency eyewash stations, and showerheads—all with WaterSense labeling where applicable. Water heaters must meet energy efficiency standards per 10 CFR 430, with electric storage types requiring specific Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) ratings based on capacity and draw patterns. The specification mandates point-of-use mixing valves limiting water to 110°F at lavatories and backflow prevention devices at locations required by the International Plumbing Code.
Installation requirements include proper pipe support using MSS SP-58 hangers, expansion provisions for hot water lines, isolation valves on equipment supplies, and seismic bracing per applicable standards. All piping must undergo pressure testing, flushing with potable water at 4 feet per second velocity, operational testing over minimum 8-hour periods, and disinfection via chlorination to 50 ppm minimum with 24-hour residual monitoring. Backflow prevention assemblies require third-party certification testing with documented gauge calibration. The contractor must provide system flushing at fixture end-points (0.25 gallons per 24-hour period over 14 days), vibration isolation for mechanical equipment, and comprehensive operation and maintenance documentation before system acceptance.
