3.02 GENERAL INSTALLATION

A. Runs of pipework shown on the Drawings shall be taken as diagrammatic only and all pipework
shall be installed in the neatest possible manner in the space available. Where this involves
special fittings or settings of pipe, these shall be provided whether or not shown on the
Drawings. Where possible, pipework shall be run parallel to or at right angles to building walls.
Fuel oil pipework in vertical riser shafts shall be continuously welded.
B. All pipework, unless specified as continuously welded, shall be installed such that it can be
dismantled and is accessible for repair and replacement. Where valves and equipment are
fitted, unions and flanges shall be provided as appropriate for the size of the pipework in order
to allow removal of valves and equipment.
C. All pipework buried in concrete or in accessible trenching shall be wrapped in `Denso Tape'.
The tape shall be fixed strictly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
D. All low points shall be provided with valved drain connections. Where these occur in areas not
having free access, the Contractor shall pipe the drain position to the nearest drain point, to be
agreed with the Employer’s Representative.
E. Where pipework crosses expansion joints in buildings, flexible couplings or axial compensators
shall be employed in the pipework system to take account of both contraction and expansion of
the pipework and the building structure. Axial compensators shall not be used on suspended
pipework.
F. Piping shall be provided with suitable drain valve and plug.
3.03 WELDED PIPEWORK
A. Joints on all permanently concealed pipework and all pipework over 50 mm size shall be
welded. At dismantling points or where the pipework is connected to an appliance, ground-in
spherical seated unions shall be used for pipework below 50 mm size and flanges shall be
used for pipework 50 mm size and above.
B. No rusty pipework or fittings shall be used for welding prior to being thoroughly wire brushed.
C. Testing shall be by radiography to 10% of all the welds for pipes rated below 19 bar. Where
welds are defective, welds immediately up stream and down stream shall be radiographed.
Acceptance of weld shall be according to ASME B 31.3.
3.04 SCREWED PIPEWORK
A. Screwed pipework shall not be used in systems above 10 bar.
B. On 6 and 10 bar rated systems, all pipework below 50 mm shall be screwed except where
permanently concealed.
C. The threading of screwed joints shall be carefully made and shall be cut to produce an accurate
thread free from burrs, snags and swarf. At least one of the engaging components shall be
taper threaded. All ends of pipe shall be reamed to restore full bore prior to assembly. Subject
to these provisions, threading may be carried out by hand or by automatic machine.

adjacent to pump so no weight is carried on pump casings. For close coupled or base mounted
pumps, install supports under elbows on pump suction and discharge line sizes 102 mm and
over.

manpower necessary for carrying out pressure tests.
B. Fuel oil systems shall be suitable for the working pressure, operating temperatures and the
conditions of the fluids flowing within them. The declared pressure rating of the pipework shall
be equal to or greater than the maximum test pressure of the system. Testing shall be carried
out in sections if necessary. If a section should fail the test, trace and repair all leaks and
defects and retest the section before any further pipes or section of adjacent pipework are
installed.
C. Test Results: Written records of every test clearly identifying the tested section of the pipe
together with time of test and name of testing Employer’s Representative in tabulated format
shall be submitted for review by the Employer’s Representative upon completion of the test.
