Installation of Standpipes, Sprinkler Pipes, and Accessories

1. Grooving and Threading of Pipes
1.1 Grooving of Pipes

• Before grooving the pipe, make sure the setting of the groove machine is being followed properly. Connect the tool to an internally grounded electrical source. When the roll grooving pipe exceeds the maximum length, a roller-type pipe stand must be used.
• The roller stand must be capable of handling the weight of the pipe while allowing the pipe to rotate freely.
• Place the Pipe Stand at a distance slightly beyond half the pipe length from the tool. Make sure the tool is level.
• Position the pipe stand approximately 0-1/2 a degree to the left for the tracking angle.
• Refer to the drawing. Note: when pipe flare is excessive, right-to-left trucking must be kept to a minimum. It may be necessary to use less than 1/2 a degree for the tracking angle.
• If the tool is properly set up in a level position, but the back end of the pipe is higher than the end being grooved, the pipe may not track, in addition, excessive flare may occur on the pipe end. Refer to the manual setup section and the tool setup and pipe positioning requirements.
• Before grooving, make sure all instructions in the sections of the manual have been followed.
• Connect the tool to an internally grounded electrical source.
• Depress the safety foot switch momentarily to ensure the tool is operational. The lower roll should be rotating clockwise when viewed from the front of the tool.
• Remove the foot from the switch.
• Open the valve on the hydraulic hand pump turning it counterclockwise to allow the upper roll and arm to move to the full up position.
• Insert a length of pipe that is the correct size and thickness onto the lower roll. Make sure the pipe contacts the lower-roll backstop flange completely. Remove hands from the pipe.
• Close the valve on the hydraulic hand pump by turning it clockwise.
• The operator should be positioned on the safety foot switch/hydraulic hand pump side of the tool, as shown above. Pump the handle of the hydraulic hand pump to bring the upper roll down into firm contract with the pipe.
• Depress and hold down the safety footswitch. The pipe will begin to rotate clockwise when viewed from the front of the tool. As the pipe rotates, begin forming the groove by pumping the handle of the hydraulic hand pump slowly.
• Do not pump the handle of the hydraulic hand pump too fast. The rate should be sufficient to groove the pipe and maintain an audible, moderate-to-heavy load on the motor/drive.
• Continue the grooving process until the depth adjuster lock comes into contact with the top of the tool body. Continue pipe rotation for several revolutions to ensure groove completion.
• Release the safety footswitch, and withdraw foot from the switch.
• Open the valve on the hydraulic hand pump by turning It counterclockwise to release the pipe. Remove the Pipe from the tool.
• If no more roll grooving will be performed for a while, disconnect the tool from the electrical source.
• The groove diameter must be within specification for the diameter and wall thickness of the pipe. The groove diameter should be checked and adjusted, as necessary, to ensure grooves remain within specification.

1.2 Threading of Pipes

• A die head will be attached to cut the thread.
• The machine now has the ability to threads pipes.
• A heavy-duty pipe threader can also cut your pipe into workable sections.
• The pipe threading machine will be used to thread the end section of your pipe.
• Inspect the pipe threader before beginning and replace dies or any parts that show signs of wear.
• Mount your pipe firmly in the pipe vise by placing it in the vise and then tightening it until it is held tightly.
• Cut the end of the pipe cleanly and squarely by using a pipe cutter. The pipe cutter will have a thin cutter wheel, which will slice through the pipe as you guide it in the space. Be sure to wear goggles and protective gear.
• Ream the cut end of the pipe to remove any burrs from the cut using a reamer, which is a cylinder-shaped rotary cutting tool that runs smoothly across the freshly cut edges of the pipe to remove rough edges.
• Select the die head according to the size and type of pipe that is being threaded.
• Place the die head over the pipe on the threader.
• Press steadily on the front of the die head, while simultaneously pushing the handle down to start the threader. Before placing too much pressure on the handle, check to be sure that the ratchet pawl is engaged.
• Use weight as leverage to apply pressure on the handle, while holding it firmly. Be sure to maintain proper footing and balance for maximum control. Never use a tool or mechanism to hold the handle in place in order to free your hands, this can be dangerous and could result in injury.
• Apply threading oil generously while threading. Using oil too thin as a substitute for threading oil can result in sub-standard threading.
• Cease threading when the end of the threading die is flat against the end of the pipe. When the die is even with the pipe, that means the correct threading size has been reached. If you continue pushing after this point, you will damage the thread.
• Reverse the ratchet mechanism and turn the die head in the opposite direction. Be care full to maintain control of the threader as the dies are removed. Threads can be damaged when the die head is being removed if you don’t maintain control and move the piece smoothly.
• Stand the pipe on end and gently tap it to remove any particles that may be lodged within.
• Clean the pipe with cloth, removing any oil. Be careful, the threads will be very sharp.
• Seal the threading with a pipe thread compound when attaching the pipe to the connector.
• Clean the pipe threader machine thoroughly after use so the oils and metal pieces do not damage the machine, which could cause sub-standard threading during your next project.

Sprinkler Head Installations

• The pendant & upright sprinklers shall be arranged such that there is no interference with the discharge pattern they shall be positioned between 25 and 300 mm below the ceiling.
• The sprinklers and pipelines shall not be too close together in order to prevent an operating sprinkler from wetting and thereby delaying the operation of adjacent sprinklers.
• In locations where sprinklers’ heads are liable to be operated or damaged by accidental blow, they should be protected by stout metal guards. Care shall be taken to ensure that the normal operation of the sprinkler head in the event of a fire is not impeded by such guards.
• The distance between sprinklers shall not exceed 3.5 m. the maximum floor area to be covered by a single sprinkler for different hazards are as follows:

Pressure Testing and Procedure

• Carry out all tests and inspections to prove that the installation meets the requirements of the NFPA 13, NFPA14, NFPA 20, NFPA 22, and NFPA 25 guidance.
• Make available a highlighted drawing of the area intended for hydrostatic pressure testing.
• Indicate on the drawing the location of the vent/drain valve, plugged connections, and water pressure pump connections.
• Place safety warnings at all points where personnel may pass through within the vicinity of testing.
• Attach the pressure pump to the desired location through an isolation valve, bypass valve, and calibrated pressure gauge to indicate the pressure on the pipework.
• The drain point will be plugged and the highest point of the system will be considered as the water supply point for pressure testing. The selected supply point will be provided with an isolation valve, calibrated pressure gauge, and manual water pump.
• Isolate any parts of the system whose pressure rating is less than the testing pressure such as relief valves, automatic air vents, and all devices that might be damaged by the test pressure.
• No pressure shall be applied against the closed gate of gate valves. All valves shall be in the open position but completely back-seated during testing. End valves shall be capped and installed by a blind flange.
• No testing shall be carried out against or through the pressure-reducing valves. The setting of the pressure-reducing valves shall not be changed for testing purposes.
• Plug all the open ends of pipes, keeping only two points open, one at the highest end & the other at the lowest end of the pipe section to be checked.
• Verify pressure gauges for calibration certificates. Check the proper filling and pressurization sequence of the piping system to be tested.
• Fill the pipe slowly with water through the filling point. Do not use a power-driven pump unless approved.
• Fill absorbent pipes with water and allow them to stand for 15 mins at working pressure.
• Once all the air in the pipe system is purged through the “purge point” and only water starts flowing out indicating that the pipeline is free from trapped air, shut the air relief gate valve at the top end of the pipeline. Once the pipeline is filled with water shut the gate valve at the filling point too.
• Now start applying water pressure through a hydraulic pressure pump, till the pipeline attains a test pressure of 1.5 times the working pressure for 2 hours. ( Working Pressure is 160 psi x 1.5 = 240 psi or 16.54 bar. i.e. The testing Pressure.)
• Walk along the pipeline route & Inspect for any leakage. If any leakage is found, drain off the water from the system by opening the filling point at the lowest end of the system. Rectify the leak by tightening the joint or replacing the defective pipe fitting as the case may be.
• The test pressure shall be read from a gauge located at the low elevation point of the system or portion being tested.
• Once the test has been satisfactorily completed the test pressure shall be released slowly so as not to produce shocks and sudden contractions that might damage the piping.
• The system then shall be drained and the QC coordinator shall be notified.
• A pressure testing report shall be prepared and signed by the client or any other concerned party.
• Protect the piping installation and end cap the pipe.

Working in Double Height Area to Install the Sprinkler Pipes

General

In the drive area, HVAC ducts are installed, and don’t have access to reach the roof to install the sprinkler pipes. (mostly branch pipes)
a) For example consider the double-height area, ducts were already installed with main pipes and workers cannot access the roof to install branch pipes and main sprinkler pipes. In this special case, we need to stand on the duct or erect scaffolding to complete the work.

Two methods can follow to install the sprinkler pipes.

• Using duct as a platform so people can stand on the duct by using a lifeline and complete the work.
• Using the scaffolding to install the pipes.
• Please note, both methods will be followed on-site, the requirement will be as per site condition.

Option 1-Using Duct as a Platform

• Working at height should comply with project specifications.
• Before starting work, people should complete formal training about working at height.
• Here is a special case, that needs to work above the duct. This method will be followed only if scaffolding cannot be erected.
• Use the same channel used to lift the duct which is not removed.
• If that temporary plate or channel is not available then fabricate Plate and U clamp will be fabricated.
• The channel will be anchored in the soffit ( existing precast roof).
• By using the scissor lift/ scaffolding plumbers, helpers need to climb on the duct.
• Before standing on the duct, make sure a proper lifeline is provided.
• People should wear lifelines and tie them to the anchor points.
• The pull-out test is already completed for the Fischer anchor so workers can use it as an anchorage point.
• Make sure the lifeline has enough length to place mobilize.
• Now place a wooden board above the duct – the purpose of the wooden board is people should stand on the wooden board to avoid damage to duct insulation.
• Place the wooden board on the duct flange to avoid damage.
• Workers can climb on the duct using a scissor lift and stand on the wooden board.
• Now plumbers/ workers can start doing the installation work.
• Workers should not keep any sharp materials above the duct to avoid insulation damage.
• Make sure fall arrest is enough length so workers can walk safely.
• Until complete the work, the spotter should stand in a scissor lift for emergencies and monitor the work.
• Safety needs to monitor the work regularly.
• The area needs to be barricaded until the completion of work.
• Place warning sign- “PEOPLE ARE WORKING IN TOP”
• Make sure illumination is available to complete the task.
• Now start the installation of pipes.
• The permit needs to be obtained from the main contractor’s safety.

Option 2-Working on a Scaffolding

• This method can be followed if space is enough to place a scaffolding.
• Erect a scaffolding in the working area in the double-height area.
• Make sure the safety officer has inspected the scaffolding and certified it.
• Now people should stand on the scaffolding and start the work.
• Tie the lifeline in the existing anchor points ( as mentioned in Option 1)
• Now start the installation of pipes.
