7 02/18 SUPER WELD-TITE PIPING INSTALLATION SPECIFICATION GENERAL: Installation of the Super Weld-Tite piping system shall be done in accordance with the appropriate publications including ANSI B31.1 and the following specifications and instructions. A Thermal Pipe Systems, Inc. field representative will conduct an installation clinic to pre-qualify contract personnel in the proper procedures for the installation. Good workmanlike procedures shall be followed. All piping, unless other wise indicated, shall be pitched with a grade of not less than 1 inch in 40 feet toward the drain points when applicable. Open ends of pipe lines and equipment shall be properly capped or plugged during installation to keep dirt or other foreign matter out of the system. RECEIVING AND HANDLING SHIPMENTS INSPECTION: Each shipment shall be inspected with care on its arrival. The products are carefully loaded at the plant using methods acceptable to the carrier and it is their responsibility to deliver the pipe in good condition. It is the responsibility of the Installation Contractor to ascertain whether there has been any loss or damage. The carrier is the contractor’s agent. Any pipe or equipment that arrives damaged or is lost in shipment shall be reported by the contractor. Perform an overall inspection of the load. If load is intact, ordinary inspection while unloading should be enough to make sure that the pipe has arrived in good condition. It is the responsibility of the receiver to make certain that there has been no loss or damage. Note specifically that any end packaging should not show signs of damage. If the load has shifted, or end packing damaged, then each piece must be carefully inspected for damage. Check total quantities of each item against the tally sheet (pipe, fittings, etc.) Any damaged or missing items are to be noted on the delivery receipt and the receipt returned to the carrier. Notify the carrier immediately and make claim in accordance with the carrier’s instructions. Thermal Pipe Systems, Inc. will assist, if necessary, in handling this claim. Do not dispose of damaged material - the carrier will notify you of the procedure to follow. UNLOADING INSTRUCTIONS: The means by which the pipes are unloaded in the field is the decision and responsibility of the installing contractor. The use of mechanical equipment frequently simplifies and speeds up the unloading of larger sizes and usually provides extra protection against damage in handling. To prevent the possibility of the core pipe from shifting within the casing pipe, do not stand a length on one end or raise it vertically. Under no condition should a
