structural and permanent-enclosure elements of buildings.
3 01 01 04 Do not run piping through electric rooms, electric spaces, electric closets,
or other electrical or electronic equipment spaces unless unavoidable, and
specifically indicated on the plans, in which case, install drip pan below
and 300mm beyond foot print of such piping. Spill drip pan drain on
floor of adjacent space where flow will be noticed. Do not spill to a
receptacle.
3 01 01 05 Clean exterior surfaces of installed piping system of superfluous materials

and prepare for application of specified coatings (if any). During
construction, properly cap all lines and equipment nozzles so as to
prevent the entrance of sand, dirt, etc. Each system of piping to be
flushed prior to testing for the purpose of removing grit, dirt, sand, etc.,
from the piping for as long as time as is required to thoroughly clean the
system.
3 01 01 06 Except for hub-and-spigot, clay, and similar units of pipe, provide

factory-applied plastic end-caps on each length of pipe and tube.
Maintain end-caps through shipping, storage and handling as required
preventing pipe-end damage and eliminating dirt and moisture from
inside of pipe and tube. Where possible, store pipe and tube inside and
protected from weather. Where necessary to store outside, elevate above
grade and enclose with durable, waterproof wrapping. Cap, plug or
otherwise close ends of installed piping when not being worked on to
prevent the entrance of debris.

outside of tube ends and inside of fittings. Apply solder flux to joint areas
of both tubes and fittings. Insert tube full depth into fitting, and solder in
manner which will draw solder full depth and circumference of joint.
Wipe excess solder from joint before it hardens.
3 01 02 04 Weld: pipe joints in accordance with ASME Code for Pressure Piping,
B31, and in accordance with recognized industry practice and as follows:
3 01 02 04 01 Weld pipe joints only when ambient temperature is

above -18oC.
3 01 02 04 02 Bevel pipe ends at a 37.5o angle where possible,

smooth rough cuts, and clean to remove slag, metal particles and dirt.
3 01 02 04 03 Use pipe clamps or tack-weld joints with 25mm

long welds; 4 welds for pipe sizes to 250mm 8 welds for pipe sizes
300 to 500mm.
3 01 02 04 04 Build up welds with stringer-bead pass, followed

by hot pass, followed by cover or filler pass. Eliminate valleys at
center and edges of each weld. Weld by procedures which will
ensure elimination of unsound or unfused metal, cracks, oxidation,
blow-holes and non-metallic inclusions.
3 01 02 04 05 Do not weld-out piping system imperfections by

tack-welding procedures; prefabricated to comply with requirements.
3 01 02 04 06 At Installer's option, install forged

branch-connection fittings wherever branch pipe is indicated; or
install regular "T" fitting.
