3.1 GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Piping located in air plenums shall conform to NFPA 90A requirements.

Piping located in shafts that constitute air ducts or that enclose air
ducts shall be noncombustible in accordance with NFPA 90A. Installation
of plastic pipe where in compliance with NFPA may be installed in
accordance with PPFA Fire Man. The plumbing system shall be installed
complete with necessary fixtures, fittings, traps, valves, and
accessories. Water and drainage piping shall be extended 1.5 m outside
the building, unless otherwise indicated. A ball valve and drain shall be
installed on the water service line inside the building approximately 150
mm above the floor from point of entry. Piping shall be connected to the
exterior service lines or capped or plugged if the exterior service is not
in place. Sewer and water pipes shall be laid in separate trenches,
except when otherwise shown. Exterior underground utilities shall be at
least 300 mm below the finish grade or as indicated on the drawings. If
trenches are closed or the pipes are otherwise covered before being

Unless otherwise indicated, sleeves shall be of a size to provide a

minimum of 6 mm clearance between bare pipe or insulation and inside of
sleeve or between insulation and inside of sleeve. Sleeves in bearing
walls and concrete slab on grade floors shall be steel pipe or cast-iron
pipe. Sleeves in nonbearing walls or ceilings may be steel pipe,
cast-iron pipe, galvanized sheet metal with lock-type longitudinal seam,
or plastic.

Except as otherwise specified, the annular space between pipe and sleeve,
or between jacket over insulation and sleeve, shall be sealed as indicated
with sealants conforming to ASTM C920 and with a primer, backstop material
and surface preparation as specified in Section 07 92 00 JOINT SEALANTS.
The annular space between pipe and sleeve, between bare insulation and
sleeve or between jacket over insulation and sleeve shall not be sealed
for interior walls which are not designated as fire rated.

Sleeves through below-grade walls in contact with earth shall be recessed

12 mm from wall surfaces on both sides. Annular space between pipe and
sleeve shall be filled with backing material and sealants in the joint
between the pipe and concrete wall as specified above. Sealant selected
for the earth side of the wall shall be compatible with
dampproofing/waterproofing materials that are to be applied over the joint
sealant. Pipe sleeves in fire-rated walls shall conform to the
requirements in Section 07 84 00 FIRESTOPPING.

3.1.4.2 Flashing Requirements

Pipes passing through roof shall be installed through a 4.9 kg per square
meter copper flashing, each within an integral skirt or flange. Flashing
shall be suitably formed, and the skirt or flange shall extend not less
than 200 mm from the pipe and shall be set over the roof or floor membrane
in a solid coating of bituminous cement. The flashing shall extend up the
pipe a minimum of 250 mm. For cleanouts, the flashing shall be turned
down into the hub and caulked after placing the ferrule. Pipes passing
through pitched roofs shall be flashed, using lead or copper flashing,
with an adjustable integral flange of adequate size to extend not less than
200 mm from the pipe in all directions and lapped into the roofing to
provide a watertight seal. The annular space between the flashing and the
bare pipe or between the flashing and the metal-jacket-covered insulation
shall be sealed as indicated. Flashing for dry vents shall be turned down
into the pipe to form a waterproof joint. Pipes, up to and including 250
mm in diameter, passing through roof or floor waterproofing membrane may
be installed through a cast-iron sleeve with caulking recess, anchor lugs,
flashing-clamp device, and pressure ring with brass bolts. Flashing
shield shall be fitted into the sleeve clamping device. Pipes passing
through wall waterproofing membrane shall be sleeved as described above.
A waterproofing clamping flange shall be installed.

3.1.4.3 Waterproofing

Waterproofing at floor-mounted water closets shall be accomplished by

forming a flashing guard from soft-tempered sheet copper. The center of
the sheet shall be perforated and turned down approximately 40 mm to fit
between the outside diameter of the drainpipe and the inside diameter of
the cast-iron or steel pipe sleeve. The turned-down portion of the
flashing guard shall be embedded in sealant to a depth of approximately 40
mm; then the sealant shall be finished off flush to floor level between
the flashing guard and drainpipe. The flashing guard of sheet copper

SECTION 22 00 00 Page 23

shall extend not less than 200 mm from the drainpipe and shall be lapped
between the floor membrane in a solid coating of bituminous cement. If
cast-iron water closet floor flanges are used, the space between the pipe
sleeve and drainpipe shall be sealed with sealant and the flashing guard
shall be upturned approximately 40 mm to fit the outside diameter of the
drainpipe and the inside diameter of the water closet floor flange. The
upturned portion of the sheet fitted into the floor flange shall be sealed.

3.1.4.4 Optional Counterflashing

Instead of turning the flashing down into a dry vent pipe, or caulking and
sealing the annular space between the pipe and flashing or
metal-jacket-covered insulation and flashing, counterflashing may be
accomplished by utilizing the following:

a. A standard roof coupling for threaded pipe up to 150 mm in diameter.

b. A tack-welded or banded-metal rain shield around the pipe.

3.1.4.5 Pipe Penetrations of Slab on Grade Floors

Where pipes, fixture drains, floor drains, cleanouts or similar items

penetrate slab on grade floors, except at penetrations of floors with
waterproofing membrane as specified in paragraphs FLASHING REQUIREMENTS
and WATERPROOFING, a groove 6 to 13 mm wide by 6 to 10 mm deep shall be
formed around the pipe, fitting or drain. The groove shall be filled with
a sealant as specified in Section 07 92 00 JOINT SEALANTS.

3.1.4.6 Pipe Penetrations

Provide sealants for all pipe penetrations. All pipe penetrations shall
be sealed to prevent infiltration of air, insects, and vermin.

3.1.5 Fire Seal

Where pipes pass through fire walls, fire-partitions, fire-rated pipe

chase walls or floors above grade, a fire seal shall be provided as
specified in Section 07 84 00 FIRESTOPPING.

3.1.6 Supports

3.1.6.1 General

Hangers used to support piping 50 mm and larger shall be fabricated to

accurate alignment, to direct the expansion movement, and to prevent
buckling, swaying, and undue strain. Piping subjected to vertical
movement when operating temperatures exceed ambient temperatures shall be
supported by variable spring hangers and supports or by constant support
hangers. In the support of multiple pipe runs on a common base member, a
clip or clamp shall be used where each pipe crosses the base support
member. Spacing of the base support members shall not exceed the hanger
and support spacing required for an individual pipe in the multiple pipe
run. Threaded sections of rods shall not be formed or bent.

be separated from the slide material by at least 100 mm or by an
amount adequate for the insulation, whichever is greater.

n. Hangers and supports for plastic pipe shall not compress, distort, cut
or abrade the piping, and shall allow free movement of pipe except
where otherwise required in the control of expansion/contraction.
