NOTE: Delete, revise, or add to the text in this section to cover project requirements.
Notes are for designer information and will not appear in the final project specification.
This section covers polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
(ABS), and chlorinated polyvinylchloride (CPVC) pipe and pipe fittings for general
use. Ordinary methods of installation are also included. This section does
not cover the use of plastic pipe in specialized systems or processes or the
installation of such systems.
Associated work specified in other sections includes identification, anchors,
flashing, hangers and supports, valves and cocks, insulation, and testing.
Drawings should show:
Location where each size of pipe is installed
Provisions for expansion and contraction
Elevation of piping slope, extent of service, and location of terminations or
connections to other equipment
Where piping is to be concealed or exposed, sufficient sections and details
for completion of construction.
