PART 3 – EXECUTION
3.1 INSTALLATION OF ANCHORS
A. Install anchors at proper locations to prevent stresses from exceeding those permitted by ANSI
B31, and to prevent transfer of loading and stresses to connected equipment. Fabricate and
install anchor by welding steel shapes, plates and bars to piping and to structure. Comply with
ANSI B31 and with AWS standards. Where not otherwise indicated, install anchors at ends of
principal pipe-runs, at intermediate points in pipe-runs between expansion loops and bends.
Make provisions for preset of anchors as required to accommodate both expansion and
contraction of piping.
3.2 INSTALLATION OF HANGERS AND SUPPORTS
A. Install hangers, supports, clamps and attachments to support piping properly from building
structure; comply with MSS SP-69. Supporting Mechanical Systems from metal deck is
prohibited. Arrange for grouping of parallel runs of horizontal piping to be supported together on
trapeze type hangers where possible. Install supports with maximum spacing complying with
MSS SP-69. Where piping of various sizes is to be supported together by trapeze hangers,
space hangers for smallest pipe size or install intermediate supports for smaller diameter pipe.
Do not use wire or perforated metal to support piping, and do not support piping from other
piping.
3.3 EQUIPMENT SUPPORTS
A. Concrete housekeeping bases shall be provided for all equipment. Mechanical Contractor shall
furnish, scaled layouts of all required bases, with dimensions, and location to column center lines.
Furnish layouts, templates, anchor bolts, and accessories, necessary for base construction to
