Cutting or other weakening of building structure to facilitate piping installation is not permitted. Install to permit free expansion and contraction without damage. Swing joints at run outs to equipment and risers. Provide expansion joints at all other points for flexible piping systems. Drain piping from pump glands, relief valves, condensate drain pans, etc. shall discharge into open sight drains, floor drains, or other acceptable collection points terminating the drain line with a 50 mm minimum air gap and plain end (unthreaded) pipe. Provide necessary temporary connections, valves, oversize flushing connections, pumps, etc. as required to properly clean and test systems. Coordinate piping installations with duct work, structure, lighting, electrical conduit, and all other materials and equipment. Use flexible pipe connectors for all inlet and discharge connections to pumps (except in-line pumps) and other vibration producing equipment. Provide flanges on all valves, apparatus and equipment having 60 mm and larger connections. Reduction in pipe sizes (except in drainage pipe) shall be made using eccentric reducer couplings installed with the level side up on water piping and condensate piping and level side down on all stems.
