(Fire stopping will be supply late)Figure 12 Setting of Clean out Type A

(Fire stopping will be supply late)Figure 15 Detail of pipe penetration for water proof4.4.6.Methodologies: For all sprinkler piping installation either wall or ceiling area.

Work will be executed by fixing anchor bolt into concrete structure or brick wall with approved bracket support and dimension according to approved shop drawing All brackets supports shall be factory-fabricated and hot dipped galvanized to JIS H8641 Standard prior to delivery to site for installation.

Deliver pipes and fittings to designated area of site work. Check and ensure sufficient quantity for area installation.

All supports shall be fabricated at workshop factory shall be approved type based on sample submitted and approved by the Engineer.

Installed supports will be checked by the Engineer.

All bolt and nuts accessories shall be approved brand/ types by the Engineer based on submission and approved.

Locate position of pipe installation as according to shop drawing.

Siamese fire department connection shall be as per approved drawing location easily be approached by fire engines for emergency fire fitting. Type of connection shall be compatible with hose fitting used by the local fire department and based on Vietnamese standard.

a) Pipe shaft area :

Carry pipe by manual labor to location. Chain block may be used to lift bigger pipe for installation.

b) On ceiling area :

Carry pipe to designated area of installation: for bigger pipe, chain block shall be used to hoist pipe to ceiling area.

Pipe shall be cleaned before installation.

Pipe shall be adjusted to fix location as according to approved shop drawing indicated and according to the construction schedule.

Mark and determine the location of pipe support.

Installed pipe shall be pressure tested and inspected by the Engineer for approval.

- Shall be cleaned system before pressure test / leak test.4.4.7 Marking and cutting.

All pipes size diameter 150mm and smaller shall be cut by electric powered, circular machine with abrasive wheel. Metallic wheel cutters shall not be permitted.

For pipes with outside diameter 150mm and greater shall be cut by Oxyacetylene torch.

After cutting, edges of pipe shall be grinded forming an angle of 300. Refer to Figure 104.4.8 Cut a hole to join smaller pipe: For steel pipe connect to steel pipe that is two times smaller than diameter of main pipe Cut a hole on main pipe by using oxyacetylene torch to create a hole.

Use grinder machine to smoothen the edges and burrs of the cut hole before joining the main pipe and the smaller pipe together forming a 900C Seam of joining shall be welded in three passes.

During work not in progress, the opening of hole shall be temporary capped to prevent entry of foreign object.

- Take out galvanize for Fire protection

For flange weld, spot weld at 1 point, then connect flange surface perpendicular to pipe and spot weld at 3-4 points prior to full welding and after that take down floor weld complete for Fire protection pipe. Note that seam of weld in outside face shall not be out off flange face. Remove water, oil and paint off completed weld.

Weld at 3-4 points on seam, then roll pipe to continue welding from up and down. Completed weld shall be clean by using wire brush and prime paint.

Inspection of weld. Refer to Figure 10 Weld seam shall be checked visually.

Weld joint will be thicker than edge of pipe maximum 3mm.

Weld defects shall be remoed and repaired under the Engineers supervision.

a. Screwed threaded connection. Pipe will be threaded by using the threading machine JIS B0203 Standard with automatic thread defining dimension.

Add suitable oil onto the cutting part or filling oil regularly onto cutting part of threading machine. When oil changes color due to mixing with water, change new oil.

Change threading teeth when pitches are not threading in regular manner due to wear and tear.

Check length and surface of pitches visually and adjust selection of threading range by hand.

Remove oil and dust on pitches, inside and outside pipe prior to start threading.

b. Tightening threaded pipe and fitting. Apply teflon sealing tape around the threaded pipe.

Screw pipe and fitting by hand, and then use pipe wrench to tighten slowly till pipe and fitting firmly tighten.

After tighten screw connection, cover odd pitches with primer paint and mark of pipe wrench.

Pressure test shall be carried out after area pipe work completed and jointed area paint dry up.

d.Sprinkler heads installation and coverage.

A sprinkler head shall be installed at every part of a ceiling divided by beam, etc. projected 0.4m above from the surface of installation for the said heads. However, this shall not apply in case the mutual central distance of the said beams does not exceed 1.8m or less.

In case there should be 1.2 m above of width and length for air duct, shelf etc, a sprinkler head shall be installed at the bottom surface of the said duct etc.

A distance between the deflector of sprinkler heads and the surface of installation for the said heads, shall be 0.3m below.

Sprinkler heads shall be so installed that the spindle thereof is perpendicular to the surface to which the said head is fitted.

Nothing shall be either installed or placed in the section within the distance of 0.45 m from the deflector of a sprinkler head, and 0.3m below of horizontal direction, or installation refer to Spec4.4.9 Support installation a. For ceiling support. Refer to Section on ceiling (file Autocad) Drill a hole and insert anchor bolt into concrete structure according to construction working schedule and approved shop-drawing.

Fix threaded rod support into insert anchor bolt and fix C-channel into location before laying pipe onto the bracket support.

Check the level of bracket support to ensure the pipe work have been done as according to the approved shop drawings and location.
