PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 PREPARATION OF FOUNDATION FOR UNDERGROUND BUILDING DRAINS
A. Grade excavation bottoms to provide a smooth, firm, and stable foundation, free from rock,
throughout the length of the pipe. Remove unstable, soft, and unsuitable materials at the surface
upon which pipes are to be laid and backfill with clean sand or pea gravel to indicated invert
elevation. Shape bottom of excavation to fit bottom of pipe for 90-degrees (bottom 1/4 of the
circumference). Fill unevenness with tamped sand backfill. At each pipe joint dig bell holes to
relieve the bell of the pipe of all loads, and to ensure continuous bearing of the pipe barrel on the
foundation.

larger than 4 inch drainage and vent pipe.

and hubless joints in accordance with the recommendations in the CISPI Cast Iron Soil Pipe and
Fittings Handbook, Chapter IV.
3.4 INSTALLATION
BICKFORD OF CARMEL, IN 12/12/2012
SANITARY AND VENT SYSTEM 15413-4
A. Drawings (plans, schematics, and diagrams) indicate the general location and arrangement of the
piping systems. Location and arrangement of piping layout take into account many design
considerations. So far as practical, install piping as indicated.
B. Make changes in direction for drainage and vent piping using appropriate 45 degree wyes, half-
wyes, or long sweep quarter, sixth, eighth, or sixteenth bends. Sanitary tees or short quarter
bends may be used on vertical stacks of drainage lines where the change in direction of flow is
from horizontal to vertical, except use long-turn tees where two fixtures are installed back to back
and have a common drain. Straight tees, elbows, and crosses may be used on vent lines. No
change in direction of flow greater than 90 degrees shall be made. Where different sizes of
drainage pipes and fittings are connected, use proper size, standard increasers and reducers.
Reduction of the size of drainage piping in the direction of flow is prohibited.
C. Install underground building drains to conform with the plumbing code. Lay underground building
drains beginning at low point of systems, true to grades and alignment indicated with unbroken
continuity of invert.
D. Extend building drain to connect to sewer piping, of size and in location indicated for service
entrance to building.
3.5 HANGERS AND SUPPORTS
A. General: Hanger, supports, and anchors devices are specified in Section 15010 "Basic
Mechanical Materials and Methods." Conform to the table below for maximum spacing of
supports:
B. Install the following pipe attachments: Adjustable steel clevis hangers for individual horizontal
runs less than 20 feet in length.
C. Install hangers at the following intervals

3.7 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Piping System Test: All sanitary piping and vent systems shall be tested with water or air, in
whole or in sections, prior to closing excavations, walls, ceilings, covering with insulation, or
otherwise being concealed such that an inspection for leaks would be hindered. The Owner, or
his representatives, may require the removal of clean-outs, etc. to ascertain whether or not the
pressure has reached all parts of the system.
B. Notice: The Contractor shall provide the Architect/Engineer two (2) days written notice prior to
commencing testing operations, to allow the opportunity for the Architect/Engineer and/or his
representative(s) to observe the testing. The Contractor shall coordinate testing operations with
the Architect/Engineer and/or his representative(s). Failure to provide the requisite notice may
result in the Contractor, at the Architect/Engineer’s option, being required to repeat the test at no
additional cost to the Owner.

C. Water Test: A water test shall be applied to sanitary piping and vent systems either in its entirety
or in sections. If the test is applied to the entire system, all openings in the piping shall be tightly
closed, except the highest opening, and the system filled to point of overflow.
D. If the system is tested in sections, each opening shall be tightly plugged except the highest
opening of the section under test, and each section shall be filled with water, but no section shall
be tested with less than ten (10) foot head of water. In testing successive sections, at least the
upper ten (10) feet of the next preceding section shall be tested, so that no joint or pipe in the
building shall have been submitted to a test of less than ten (10) foot head of water. The water
shall be kept in the system, or in the portion under test, for at least fifteen (15) minutes before the
inspection starts. The piping/system shall not be drained until inspection is complete and has
been verified by the Architect/Engineer and/or his representative(s).
E. Air Test: An air test shall be applied to sanitary piping and vent systems. An air test shall be
made by attaching an air compressor testing apparatus to any suitable opening and, after closing
all other inlets and outlets to the system, forcing the air into the system until there is a uniform
gauge pressure of five (5) pounds per square inch or sufficient to balance a column of mercury
ten (10) inches in height. The pressure shall be held without introduction of any additional air for a
period of not less than fifteen (15) minutes. The piping/system shall not be relieved of the
pressure until inspection is complete and has been verified by the Architect/Engineer and/or his
representative(s).
