SECTION 210523 - GENERAL-DUTY VALVES FOR WATER-BASED FIRE-SUPPRESSION PIPING

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 RELATED DOCUMENTS

A. Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions and
Division 01 Specification Sections, apply to this Section.

1.2 SUMMARY

A. Section Includes:
1. Bronze OS&Y gate valves.
2. Iron OS&Y gate valves

1.3 DEFINITIONS

A. OS&Y: Outside screw and yoke.

B. SBR: Styrene-butadiene rubber.

1.4 ACTION SUBMITTALS

A. Product Data: For type of valve.

1.5 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING

A. Prepare valves for shipping as follows:

1. Protect internal parts against rust and corrosion.


2. Protect threads, flange faces, and weld ends.
3. Set valves open to minimize exposure of functional surfaces.

B. Use the following precautions during storage:

1. Maintain valve end protection.


2. Store valves indoors and maintain at higher than ambient dew point temperature. If outdoor
storage is necessary, store valves off the ground in watertight enclosures.

C. Use sling to handle large valves; rig sling to avoid damage to exposed parts. Do not use operating handles
or stems as lifting or rigging points.

D. Protect flanges and specialties from moisture and dirt.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION

A. Examine valve interior for cleanliness, freedom from foreign matter, and corrosion. Remove special
packing materials, such as blocks, used to prevent disc movement during shipping and handling.

B. Operate valves in positions from fully open to fully closed. Examine guides and seats made accessible by
such operations.

C. Examine threads on valve and mating pipe for form and cleanliness.

D. Examine mating flange faces for conditions that might cause leakage. Check bolting for proper size,
length, and material. Verify that gasket is of proper size, that its material composition is suitable for
service, and that it is free from defects and damage.

E. Do not attempt to repair defective valves; replace with new valves.

3.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR VALVE INSTALLATION

A. Comply with requirements in the following Sections for specific valve installation requirements and
applications:

1. Section 211100 "Facility Fire-Suppression Water-Service Piping" for application of valves in fire-


suppression water-service piping outside the building.
2. Section 211200 "Fire-Suppression Standpipes" for application of valves in fire-suppression
standpipes.

B. Install listed fire-protection shutoff valves supervised-open, located to control sources of water supply
except from fire-department connections. Install permanent identification signs indicating portion of system
controlled by each valve.

C. Install valves having threaded connections with unions at each piece of equipment arranged to allow easy
access, service, maintenance, and equipment removal without system shutdown. Provide separate
support where necessary.

D. Install valves in horizontal piping with stem at or above the pipe center.

E. Install valves in position to allow full stem movement.

F. Install valve tags. Comply with requirements in Section 210553 "Identification for Fire-Suppression Piping
and Equipment" for valve tags and schedules and signs on surfaces concealing valves; and the NFPA
standard applying to the piping system in which valves are installed. Install permanent identification signs
indicating the portion of system controlled by each valve.

G. Install listed fire-protection shutoff valves supervised-open, located to control sources of water supply
except from fire-department connections.
