6.1.2 PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION.

• Thoroughly clean the pipe surfaces with damp cloth and let dry the
surface. In case, if any foreign material remain on the surface, which
cannot be cleaned by damp cloth, then use a mild wire brush to remove
the same.
• If pipe surface is contaminated with oily material, then use a wash
solvent.
• Prepare a fresh mix of primer with adequate quantity of solvent
thinner. Mix thoroughly to achieve a paste consistency.
• First coat of primer will be applied using Brush/ Roller
• Keep the painted pipe in safe place for a period as recommended by
the manufacturer so as to get the paint dry thoroughly.
• Keep the painted pipe in safe place for a period as recommended by
the manufacturer so as to get the paint dry thoroughly.
• Based on the approved shop drawings, square cut pipes with a pipe
cutter - machine mounted or manual, to the exact length, as required.
• Second touch up primer coat will be applied after the pipe hanging &
Final paint coat will be applied after installation completion.
• Use strong and purpose-built roller pipe stands whenever carrying
out operations like threading, pipe cutting or roll grooving. These
Supports stands should be so positioned in such a way that the whole
weight of the pipe is directly taken by the stands, and not otherwise.
• For pipes of sizes, 2" and below, thread the pipe ends using the
standard threading machine having BSPT dies.
• Thread length should not exceed in such a way that, a maximum of
one and a half threads exposed when the joint is finally pulled in place.
• For joining the threaded pipes and fittings, use jute & shellac. For
equipment connections which may require replacement or renewal,
Teflon threads sealing tapes to be used.
• For grooved joints, roll cut the groove to a depth as given in the
fittings manufacturer's data sheets. Additionally, check the groove depth
physically by inserting a grooved coupling half into the groove and ensure
the fitting snugly and smoothly go around.
• Liberally apply gasket lubricant around the groove and on the gasket
internal. Use fittings manufacturer's supplied / recommended material
only for this for this purpose.
• Marking the routes of the pipe work will follow the approved shop
drawings and site co-ordination with other services based on given and
final benchmarks. In case of onsite co-ordination, changes will be reflected
on the as built drawings.
• After marking the pipe routes, the anchoring points will be drilled
according to the support spacing as shown on the approved shop
drawings

manufacturer

• Apply the Teflon threads sealing tape only to the male portion of the
sprinkler
• Install upright sprinklers in such away that the arms are parallel to
the branch pipe.
• Maintain a clearance of minimum 1" between the deflector of upright
sprinkler and ceiling.
• Ensure that sprinkler heads have the correct finish and temperature
rating.
• Fix the sprinkler Zone Control Valve as per the approved shop
drawing. Ensure that valves are located at an accessible location.
• Ensure that the arrow of the water flow detector points to the

6.2.2 PRE COMMISSIONING, TESTING & COMMISSIONING:

Hydraulic pressure testing procedure:

Pre-testing:-
• Make available a highlighted drawing of area intended for hydro-
static pressure testing.
• Indicate on the drawing the location of vent / drain valve, plugged
connections and water pressure pump connection.
• Make sure the test witness timing and durations are agreed by the
Consultant
• Ensure that, an approved method statement of hydraulic pressure
testing is readily available at the location of testing until the test approval
sheet is signed off.
• Place safety warnings at all points where personnel may pass
through within the vicinity of testing.

6.1.1 HYDROSTATIC TESTING OF PIPE WORK

• Make sure that no equipment item, such as sprinklers, valves, etc. are
subjected to the pressure test.
• Physically check and ensure that all pipes undergoing test is strongly
supported and addition of pipe work will not introduce undue stress on
any support.
• Make sure that, all open pipe works are suitably plugged.
• Attach the pressure pump to the desired location through an
isolation valve, by pass valve and a calibrated pressure gauge to indicate
the pressure on the pipe work.
• Ensure the calibration certificate for the pressure gauge is valid.
• Attach a drain valve at the lowest part of the pipe work, an air
release valve at the highest point of the pipe work along with an isolation
valve and a calibrated pressure gauge at the farthest end of the pipe work
under testing, to indicate the pressure of water within the pipe.
• Once the visible checks are satisfactory, start filling the pipe work
with clean water of ambient temperature.
• During the process of pipe filling, keep the air release valve isolation
valve opened in order to purge any air in the pipe work.
• Once the pipe work is filled with water, close the test water inlet and
Air release valve. Observe any leakage and If found, immediately rectify
before proceeding.

• If there is no sign of leakage, increase the water pressure in the pipe

work gradually in increment of 2 bars.

• After increasing every 2 bar pressure, check and ensure there is no

leakage, and hold for 10-15 minutes before applying pressure again.
• On reaching pressure test value, close all valves. Ensure that, the
valves will not be operated by any unauthorized personnel.
• Log the readings in the Pressure Testing form and sign off.
• Keep the report in safe custody, for future reference.

6.1.1 TESTING PROCEDURE (SPRINKLER SYSTEM)

• Ensure the testing and installation of piping is completed

• Check the installation of the fire pump and water supply system shall
be completed along with water

• Check the alarm check valve, mechanical alarm gong, trim

connection with fire alarm system with all necessary valves, flow detector,
switches etc.
• Ensure sprinkler and standpipe system interface connections with
fire alarm system with all necessary valves, flow detector, switches etc.
• Testing of the sprinkler system involves the verification of water
flow alarm (pressure switch/water flow/detector) in the system. Testing
is done as indicated below.
• Close the butterfly valve/0S&Y gate valve for two or three turns and
observe for the fault indication on the Fire Alarm Control Panel.
• Check the display on the Fire Alarm Control Panel and verify that
correct valve is identified.
• Open the test and drain valve of sprinkler zone control valve and
observe for activation of water flow detector of the sprinkler zone and the
activation of the corresponding alarm valve. Activation of water flow
detector/pressure switch is verified by the activation of an alarm from
Alarm System within the premises.
• Check the display on the FACP and verify that correct zone number,
area are displayed.
• Repeat the above test for all other zones and record it on the
attached test sheets.
• If any device is found defective during testing, conduct a reset until
satisfactory results are obtained

6.1.1 TESTING OF STANDPIPE SYSTEM

• Open the hose valve fully.

• Take out the nozzle from the rack and direct it towards a place
where water can be discharged freely.
• Open the nozzle full and check the throw of water and check the
residual pressure. Note the pressure reading of the gauge.
