1.4 DEFINITIONS

A. Products: Items purchased for incorporating into the Work, whether purchased for Project or taken from previously purchased stock. The term product includes the terms material, equipment, system, and terms of similar intent.

1. Named Products: Items identified by manufacturer's product name, including make or model number or other designation, shown or listed in manufacturer's published product literature that is current as of date of the Contract Documents.

2. New Products: Items that have not previously been incorporated into another project or facility, except that products consisting of recycled-content materials are allowed, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Products salvaged or recycled from other projects are not considered new products.

3. Comparable Product: Product that is demonstrated and approved through submittal process, or where indicated as a product substitution, to have the indicated qualities related to type, function, dimension, in-service performance, physical properties, appearance, and other characteristics that equal or exceed those of specified product.

B. Substitutions: Changes proposed by Contractor in products, materials, equipment, and methods of construction required by the Contract Documents.

C. Basis-of-Design Product Specification: Where a specific manufacturer's product is

named, or a product is accompanied by the words "basis of design," including make or model number or other designation, to establish the significant qualities related to type, function, dimension, in-service performance, physical properties, appearance, and other characteristics for purposes of evaluating comparable products of other named manufacturers.

D. Manufacturer's Warranty: Preprinted written warranty published by individual manufacturer for a particular product and specifically endorsed by manufacturer to Owner.

E. Extended Warranty: Written warranty required by or incorporated into the Contract

HCC:CBES COMMON WORK RESULTS FOR PLUMBING 22 05 00 -3

Documents, either to extend time limit provided by manufacturer's warranty or to provide more rights for Owner.


A. Design Requirements: Contract drawings are generally diagrammatic and do not indicate all offsets, fittings, transitions, access panels and other specialties required.

1. Furnish and install all items as may be required at no additional cost to fit the work to the conditions encountered.

2. Arrange piping, equipment and other work generally as shown on the contract drawings, providing proper clearances and access.

3. Where departures are proposed because of field conditions or other causes, prepare and submit detailed shop drawing submittal for approval in accordance with Submittals specified below.

4. Subject to the provisions of Division 01, Architect may make reasonable changes in location of equipment piping and ductwork up to the time of rough-in or fabrication.

1.6 SUBMITTALS


B. Shop Drawings and Product Data:

1. Clearly identify all submittals: a. Indicate intended application, location, etc.b. Each submittal shall indicate the associated specification section, and

paragraphs. Do not combine product data and shop drawing submittals from different spec sections into a single submittal package, even though they may be the same distributor, vendor or part of a single material order.

c. Clearly indicate the exact type, model number, size and special features of the proposed item.

d. Include catalog spec sheets to completely describe proposed equipment.e. Factory order forms only showing the required capacities are not

acceptable.f. Identify all options furnished to meet specifications.g. If product is within system supplying fixture intended to dispense

potable water for human consumption, including drinking and cooling, submittals shall indicate that product is “lead free”, containing not more than a weighted average of 0.25% lead with respect to the wetted surfaces.

h. Solder and flux for soldered joints in potable water piping shall be “lead free”, containing not more than 0.2% lead.

i. The Architect shall not select equipment ratings and/or options. Submittals not properly marked shall be returned without review.

C. Product Substitutions: Comply with requirements of Division 01.

D. Comparable Products Submission:

1. Document each request for a proposed comparable product with supporting data substantiating compliance of proposed product with Basis-of-Design product.

2. Use the attached “Comparable Product Submittal Form” in addition to the requirements specified herein.

3. Comparable products will not be reviewed without completion of the attached form.

E. Coordination Drawings:

1. Building Information Model (BIM):

a. Coordination drawings shall be created from 3D BIM model of all Mechanical, Electrical, Fire Protection, and Plumbing systems. Assign an individual to serve as the main point of contact for the BIM related issues. This individual shall have sufficient BIM experience required for the size and complexity of the project and shall have relevant proficiency in the BIM process.

b. Coordinate construction sequencing and scheduling activities and assure they are integrated with the BIM documents.

c. All design modifications in the field, RFI Responses, Submittals, and Owner requested changes shall be documented and updated in the BIM documents in a timely manner.

d. All coordination efforts and BIM updates shall be provided without changes to the contract cost and/or schedule.

2. Prepare coordination drawings to a scale of ¼”=1’0” or larger, detailing major elements, components, and systems of mechanical equipment and materials in relationship with other systems, installations, and building components.

3. Indicate locations where space is limited for installation and access and where sequencing and coordination of installations are of importance to the efficient flow of the work, including (but not necessarily limited to) the following:

a. The proposed locations of piping, valving, ductwork, equipment, and materials.

b. Planned piping layout, including valve and specialty locations and valve stem movement.

c. Planned duct systems layout, including elbow radii and duct accessories.d. Clearances for installing and maintaining insulation.e. Clearances for serv
