Fill each hydraulic power unit and pump oil into the system through a 10 µm filter and keep adding oil as long as the level continues to drop. Cease pumping when the oil level no longer drops. Install by-pass piping and repeat the procedure to fill the drain/siphon line. Take care to expel as much air as possible from the piping and cylinders during the initial filling.

Utilize piping vents and drains as much as possible to expel air from the

SECTION 35 05 40.14 10 Page 14 system. Each power circuit pipe for the cylinders to have this procedure performed to fill the respective piping. Actuate cylinders by shifting spool on the four-way valve back and forth and bleeding air from ports provided on cylinders. Continue procedure for all hydraulic power units until all cylinders have been bled. Ball valves in tank lines may be closed during bleeding to prevent introduction of air into tank lines.

After all the cylinders for the machinery have been filled and bled of air, fill the hydraulic power unit tanks with oil. The oil level with the control gates open to be above the "low level" shut-off.

Adequately support all lines at intervals not greater than or 10 feet or as otherwise indicated. Install hangers and supports using machine bolts and masonry anchors caulked in drilled holes in the masonry or by using machine bolts and expansion shields. Power piping must not be used to support other equipment. Other equipment can use the same standoff or hanger mounting point as one to support the piping, but the pipe itself must not provide the support of the equipment's load. Spacers and guides can be used if no load is transferred. Ream and remove burrs from all cut ends of pipe. Remove metal particles from the reaming operations and thoroughly clean ends of pipe before proceeding with the work. Tightly plug all piping at all times except when work is being performed on a pipe. Clean the pipe sleeves, recesses and trenches of all debris and thoroughly wash with a high pressure stream of water before any piping is installed. Drilling, chipping, or grinding of concrete in close proximity of any piping being installed is not permitted. Repeat washing out of the sleeves, recesses and trenches from time to time as necessary. Store valves in a clean, dry place and protect against moisture. Do not install valves in the system prior to 4 months before the system is to be filled with hydraulic oil. Install pipes passing through masonry in pipe sleeves as indicated. Mitering of joints for elbows and notching of straight runs of pipe for tees is not permitted.

3.6.4.2 Support of Valves with Manual Operators

Valves that operate through a manual operator (such as a handwheel or

SECTION 35 05 40.14 10 Page 15 handlever)connecting to hydraulic tubing must have a hanger or support on each side of the valve within 1 inch of the connection. Such valves include block, ball and needle valves. The hangers or supports must translate the load from the use of the manual operator away from the connection of the valve and tubing. Valves used with hydraulic piping larger than 2 inches in diameter may not require this additional support if the manual operator can be used without induction detrimental induction of forces into the assembly.

3.6.4.3 Identification of Piping and Valves

3.7 CLEANING AND FLUSHING

During assembly, securely cover all openings to avoid the entrance of abrasives, dirt, metal chips, and other foreign materials into the hydraulic system through open ends of piping, tubing, and ports of the components. Use the same hydraulic fluid for flushing as approved for final filling. Include a detailed description of the equipment, materials, hydraulic fluid, temperatures, and duration of each phase of the flushing in the procedures. Clean the system of particles so that the contamination level is below 18/16/13 in accordance with ISO 4406 . Take three 500 milliliter samples at approved locations in accordance with ISO 4021 . Perform particle counting on each sample in accordance with ISO 11500 or ISO 4407 by an approved independent test laboratory. Water content of each sample to be below 200 ppm. Reclean if any sample does not comply with the permissible contamination limits, and reinspect.
