1.0 GENERAL
This section of this specification covers necessary information on the dimensions and various material requirements for Stainless Steel Water Meter (15mm) Positions connected to public mains . Specifications and material requirements for commonly used plumbing materials are also covered in this section. They are made up of the following components: Stainless steel pipes All outgoing pipes are 20mm I.D. For one-meter position, the incoming pipe is 20mm I.D. For two-meter position, the incoming pipes are 25mm I.D. For three to five meter stands, the incoming pipes are 50mm I.D. Brass lockable valves; Brass gate valve or ball valve (full bore) for two to f i v e meter positions (optional, depending on the respective State Water Authority) - , Brass or stainless steel fittings (e.g. nipple, coupling, elbow, jam nut, tee etc); Sub-main, communication pipes and associated fittings; Saddle anti ferrule for tapping from public main; For single meter position, concrete slab (600mm x 600mm x 50mm thick)
Other jointing combinations for single and multi meter stands are as shown in Drawing (Please refer to Standard Drawing). Typical details of standpipe taps and kitchen sink tap are shown in Standard Drawing
