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.
A. Comply with requirements in the following Sections for specific valve installation requirements and
applications:
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.
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.
H. Install check valve in each water-supply connection. Install backflow preventers instead of check valves in
potable-water-supply sources.
