Notes:
• Roll grooving removes no metal, cold forming a groove by the action of an outer
grooving roll being forced into pipe as it is rotated by an inner support roll.
• Roll groove configuration has rounded edges which reduce the available pipe end
movement (expansion, contraction and deflection).
• The coating thickness applied to the gasket seating surface and within the groove on
the pipe exterior should not exceed 0.010"/0.25 mm. Also, coatings applied to the
interior surfaces, including bolt pad mating surfaces, of our grooved and bolted plain
end couplings should not exceed 0.010"/0.025 mm.
• On roll grooved pipe, Allowable Pipe End Separation and Deflection from Centreline
will be ½ values listed for cut grooved pipe
Page 21 of 59
• Check flange faces for proper gasket insertion gap. The gap between flanges should be
just sufficient to allow for gasket insertion. Excessive gap will result in needing to force
the flanges together, which will increase the likelihood of in-service leakage.
• Install studs in the lower half of the flange to support the gasket when it is inserted.
• Inspect the gasket to ensure that it is in accordance with the specification and free
from defects.
• Insert the gasket between the flanges and ensure its proper placement (i.e., centering
in the joint), taking care not to damage the gasket. If necessary to use something to
hold the gasket in place, a light spray of adhesive can be used. Alternatively, thin
cellophane or masking tape may be used on the outside edge of the gasket with
enough material protruding to allow removal during the initial tightening process. Tape
should be located to avoid contacting the flange face/gasket seating surfaces since this
could provide a leak path during operation.
• Install remaining studs and nuts and ensure that there is complete thread engagement
in both nuts. Use hardened steel washers if the studs are 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) diameter
and above if the studs are to be torqued.
• In all cases, tightening should proceed in stages (i.e., not to the maximum stud stress at
one time), and proceed in a criss-cross pattern. This helps ensure uniform stud load and
gasket compression around the flange circumference.

paint we are using, hence follow the same manufacturer guide from the approved MAS
submitted to particular make.
• Ensure the DFT (Dry Film Thickness) of paint be measured using calibrated
Electrometer after each application.

c) Fitting Connections
• Fire Fighting Pipe works up to 50 mm shall have threaded joints and pipes above 65
mm shall be with grooved coupling joints.
• The 50mm. pipe work shall be threaded by using proper threading machine. After
making thread, apply the boss white/Teflon tape or jute. Wrap the Teflon or jute
around the entire length of the threads beginning with the second thread from the
end. Then screw the threaded end of the pipe in the adjacent fitting.
• The 65mm and above pipe work shall be grooved and installed as per coupling
manufacturer’s instruction and grooving equipment.
• After preparing threads and the grooves, check them for their proper formation and
depth.
Page 25 of 59

• The details of the entire Sprinkler installation of the system shall be inspected and
approved by the QCDD. Pendent and upright sprinklers shall be positioned so that the
deflectors are 1 in. to 4 in. (25 mm to 102 mm) from the ceiling unless the listing allows
a greater distance.
• Under unobstructed construction, the distance between the sprinkler deflector and the
ceiling shall be a minimum 1 in. (25.4 mm) and a maximum of 12 in. (305 mm)
throughout the area of coverage of the sprinkler
h) Mechanical clearance & Inspection
• Before installation of pipes make sure that the area is mechanically cleared or not
• Installation of all systems check list need to submit the client for inspection
• Check the material as per the approved make list
• For materials also we need to submit material inspection report and need to approval
from client in the inspection report
• After completing the installation , testing should done for firefighting systems
inspection report need to get approval from client for testing of systems
i) Hydro Testing
• Suitable permits shall be taken for carrying out the works before commencing the work
• Coordinate with all discipline Supervisor / Foreman / specialist contractor / sub-
contractor about Testing, so that all precautionary measures and protection for the
services already installed could be taken before commencement of the Hydrostatic
Testing.
• Pipes may be tested in Total or in Sections depending on site requirements.
• If any Joint / Piping left out not Tested due to site coordination or any other reason, the
Left out piping system be Hydrostatically Tested
• Protection for Damage – Eliminate possible sources of water spillages. Where potential
sources of leakage during the Test occurs above or nearby a finished item, risk of
Page 27 of 59
damage to Furnishings, Electrical Panels, Electrical Extension etc. Make sure that
Protective Shield provided to minimize water damage.
• All installed firefighting pipes shall be hydro tested and report shall be recorded in ITR.
Use only calibrated pressure gauges with valid calibration certificates.
• Trained personnel shall conduct the Testing monitored by responsible site Engineer.
• Hydrostatic test is conducted to ensure and prove the tightness of the joints and
ensure there are no leaks in the piping system as per NFPA.
• Dedicated Pressure Gauge for the Hydro testing operations with Valid Calibrations. Also
Follow up the Selection Criteria of the Gauge means 1. Gauge must be 1.5 Higher than
Test Pressure 2 pressure gauge scale unit should be same with pressure design unit in
order to make it easy for recording and evaluation.
• Check and ensure all drain valves are closed and in-line valves are open.
• Check and ensure no sprinklers installed in the points and instead closed with plugs in
case testing pressure requirement is more than 12 Bar.
• Fill the section of pipe work under test with clean water.
• The Hydrostatic test can be applied to the system in its entirety or in sections by using
motorized pump and shall be documented with appropriate witnesses. Make sure that
the installation is free from stresses or casual breaks, all openings in the piping will be
tightly closed by pipe plugs or by any other suitable means and the pipe line shall be
filled with clean water. Any air lock has to be eliminated. The pump will be installed in
the lowest point of the system.
• Pipe network shall be hydrostatically tested at minimum 200 psi (13.8 bar) and shall
maintain that pressure without loss for 2 hours. There must be no leaks of any kind and
the piping must be perfectly in tight. Portions of systems normally subjected to system
working pressures in excess of 150 psi (10.4 bar) shall be tested at a pressure of 50 psi
(3.5 bar) in excess of system working pressure. Please refer below NFPA-13 Clause for
the same.
• While the system is under pressure, a careful inspection shall be made on all pipes and
joints & fittings. If any leaks in joints or evidence of defective pipe or fittings are
revealed, the defective pipe/fitting should be immediately replaced with new joints
and materials.
• If any Leak occurs in the form of a Pin Hole in the Pipe or Fittings due to manufacturing
defect, it shall be replaced and Re Tested again During Testing.
• If any leakage, then the system shall be depressurized before carrying any rectification
works.
• After the correction is made the test procedure will be repeated again and pressure will
be maintained for minimum 2 hours.
• All pipe works shall be inspected and tested at any stage during the progress of work
and after the completion of works in order to check the quality of workmanship.
• Prepare reports for tests as per Inspection check list and required corrective action.
• Calibrated pressure gauges shall be used for hydro testing.
Page 28 of 59
• Ensure the Measuring Points shall be at the lowest Hydrostatic Pressure Point
• Motorized pressure pump shall be used for hydro pressure test.
• Test shall be repeated for the whole network/line/zone, where the
modification/rectification and left out work is carried out.
j) Flushing Procedure
• Flushing of the system will be after the successful completion of the pressure testing.
This will be done during the sectional installations of the system and after the
completion of the whole pipe work assembly as per the NFPA 13, Clause 8.16.3.
• Enough draining points will be left for this purpose. These points will be the lowest
point of the area / zone and the water supply point.
• Install a Strainer between Water source (Drum) and Pump in case water is not clean.
Arrange for Temporary Piping / Hose Pipe connections for Filling and Draining the
water.
• Estimate the Piping Volume and make arrangements for required quantity of Clean
Potable Water.
• The water will be pumped to the water supply point using the same hydrostatic pump
and the lowest points will be connected to the nearest suitable drainage facility or
collection point via a hose.
• The pipe network will be flushed to ensure that the pipes are clean from debris and
other work residual.
• Flushing will continue until we get clear water at the drainage side.
• The flushing water shall be collected in the drum and disposed by using truck to outside
the site premises.
