In instances where the pipes and clamp are of different materials, an

approved type of gasket shall be inserted between the pipe and clamp.

.6

Insulated pipes shall be supported such that the insulation is not

damaged due to undue pressure on it. Care shall be taken to ensure that
the vapour seal around the supports is uninterrupted.

.7

The hangers shall be fixed to the main structure by means of expanding

metal plugs and steel bolts and arranged to be loaded in shear.

.8

All piping shall generally be graded to eliminate air pockets or gas locks
depending on the service.

.9

The piping installation shall incorporate provisions for the venting of high
points and drawings of low points.

Provide hangers at each change in direction and both sides of each valve.

.3

Provide drilled expansion type inserts to the reinforced concrete.

structural slab for pipe supports.

.4

Regardless of the type of construction (i.e., concrete, concrete-deck-steel

or other variations) take particular care to support all main lines and all
large and heavy pipes in an approved manner, including the furnishing
and installation of supplementary steel, if required. Supplementary steel
sections are to be mill-rolled. Submit shop drawings, indicating support
methods, point loadings to the building structure and hanger locations for
review sufficiently in advance of concrete pouring schedules to permit
evaluation, critique and any necessary changes to handling and support
methods.

.5

Provide approved roller support, floor stands, wall brackets, etc., for all
lines running near the floor or near walls, which can be properly
supported or suspended by the floors or walls. Pipelines near walls may
also be hung by hangers carried from approved wall brackets at a level
higher than the pipe.

.6

Do not hang piping from other piping. Support of hangers by means of

vertical expansion bolts is not permitted.

.7

Wherever hangers using pipe rolls are used provide approved steel pipe
covering protection saddles, spot welded to the piping at each hanger
location.

.8

Anchor piping and as required to localise expansion or to

strain on piping and branches. Anchors to be entirely
hangers. All anchor designs to be submitted for approval
piping reactions which respective anchors are capable
Provide all indicated or required expansion loops.

.9

Support all lines for copper tubing individually by approved type hangers
not more than 2m apart, or as shown on the drawings. Use hangers
especially designed for copper tubing and of exact outside diameter of
tubing. On hangers for covered tubing, use broad straps fitting outside of
covering.

.10

Hangers used for cold piping will support the pipe without piercing the
insulation. Use insulation shields to protect the insulation on cold pipes.
Weld insulation protection saddles to insulated hot pipes, or any piping
subject to axial movement, at roller supports. Space between pipe and
saddle to be filled with insulation.

.11

For piping 100mm and larger, support the elbows of the piping adjacent to
the pumps with steel base elbow supports from the inertia base which
pump is on to prevent loading heavy weights of piping on pump casing.
Where inertia base is not provided, base elbows to be supported on floor
with 25mm neoprene pad.

.12

Scratches and cut ends to be field touched up with protective paint or

galvanising agent.
