Notes:

• 02 - Pipe Bending shall be used ONLY where specified on the drawings or

where approved in writing by the EWP project engineer.
• 03 - Specify WN flanges adjacent to welded fittings and/or Butterfly Valves
as alternates only.
• 05 - Threaded joints are permitted only at terminal of vent, drain, and
hydrostatic test connections, and at instrument take-off points, and to
match equipment.
• 06 - EWP's TED site preference, class 2000 threaded FS fittings are made
only in 45° and 90° elbows, tees, and crosses. The class 2000 fittings are
rated same as sch XS/80 (max) threaded pipe. Class 3000 fittings found in
existing lines may be replaced by class 2000.
• 14 - Line blinds, spacers, restricting orifices, and spectacle blinds shall be
per Standard Details Doc. No...01 thru 04.
• 18 - Conical Strainer to be used as temporary start-up strainer at pumps.
• 20 - Thread sealant to be used on all thread joints except if seal welding is
used. Refer to Specification Doc. No....
• 22 - These Valves have no flanges but are installed between line flanges
with extra length bolts.
 • 23 - Cast Valves used in "critical service" or "very critical" service should be
considered for radiographic inspection.
• 24 - BW gate or globe is for alternate use.
EXPLORE the WORLD of PIPING Menu ☰
• 25 - Reducing fittings that have ends of different thickness must show
thickness (e.g., Conc. Red - SCH XS x SCH STD).
• 31 - Butterfly Valves NPS 6 & smaller w/ handle; NPS 8 & larger w/ gear
operator. Do not use above 177°C service.
• 32 - Intended for orifice taps only.
33 - Doc. No... for slurry service.

• 34 - Valves with PTFE may be chosen for use in the OXO reactor loop
piping.
• 35 - Valve Index 180 is alternate for 180K.
• 36 - May be used for Relief Valve changeover.
