contractor should allow for a condensate pump on each unit. This is to be approved by the
consultant / contract administrator before ordering to ensure it is low noise.

A condensate line shall be installed to each fan coil unit. This shall be installed (and insulated if
copper) as per the standard specification. Minimum size of condensate pipes to be 22mm copper
or 20mm plastic, insulated and pumped or by gravity from each fan coil/cassette,
Pipework will be adequately supported in such a manner as to permit free movement due to
expansion and contraction. Pipework should be graded to fall throughout, run to waste and should
also be fitted with cleanable traps. On completion, a leak and function test must be carried out.
Gravity drains will be installed whenever possible.

The mechanical engineering services contractor shall include for all sets, joints, bends and
diversions necessary to install the pipework in the ceiling void. No claims for additional costs in
this respect will be considered.

2.2.1.6 Commissioning.

control cabling to BS6141 and BS6500 (to comply with CE Regulations 1995) colour coded and
separately marked at 3 metre intervals for ease of identification and maintenance.

Where required control wiring containment shall be steel conduit or cable trunking. All
containment located externally shall be galvanised.

Where the mechanical engineering services contractor requires additional holes through the steel
beams or any other structural element including any holes through the floor slab the mechanical
engineering services contractor must detail the requirements on builderswork drawings and
submit them for approval by the structural engineer before proceeding.

2.2.2. Ventilation.

2.2.2.1. General.

The mechanical contractor is to allow for all necessary fire stopping / fire dampers etc. where
ductwork passes through fire compartments. The contractor to ensure this is all ventilation items
are coordinated into the building structure.

Ductwork, grilles and diffusers unless specified otherwise all sheet metal ductwork will be
manufactured and installed in accordance with HVCA specification DW/144. Ductwork systems
will be designed to give a maximum air velocity of 6.0 m/s on main ducts and 2.5m/s on branch
ducts. The ductwork system design is to take into account the equipment’s characteristics in terms
of static pressure generation and acoustic properties.

Particular Specification 20 September 2010

The mechanical engineering services contractor shall include for all sets, joints, bends and
diversions necessary to install the ductwork in the ceiling void. No claims for additional costs in
this respect will be considered.

2.2.3. Electrical Works.

2.2.3.1. General.

The electrical requirements in respect of the mechanical services are to be provided by the
contractor by means of local isolators etc. adjacent to the mechanical items of plant. The
contractor shall allow for all extending all existing supplies interconnecting electrical supplies
from these isolators to the mechanical equipment. Although the contractor is not responsible for
the existing electrical supplies it shall be tested prior to connecting equipment to ensure that the
feeds are correct and that no damage occurs.

The contractor shall include for the installation (unless otherwise specified). including connecting
all items of mechanical equipment. The Contractor shall provide and install all wiring, cables,
conduit, trunking, cable trays, termination points, local means of isolation, control wiring etc., to
mechanical plant items to ensure that all items of equipment and controls fully function in
accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations and the current IEE Wiring Regulations,
CIBSE Codes of Practice, British Standards and UK Building Regulations.

All electrical cables used for power distribution will comply with 17th Edition IEE Regulations.
All cables used for data/control must be greater than 1.25 mm 2core screened. Appropriate glands
will be fitted to each item of equipment in accordance with environmental conditions.

The whole installation will be in full accordance with the IEE Wiring Regulations in every respect
with particular attention to clipping, earthing of equipment, glanding off, final connections and
isolating. Earth bonds on refrigeration, cold water and drainage pipework to be applied,
throughout. Equipotential bonding between exposed conductive parts and extraneous conductive
parts at the same potential, to be applied throughout.

On completion the installation should be tested in accordance with the requirements of inspection
and testing section of the IEE Wiring Regulations. Inspection shall include physical check that all
equipment has been securely fixed and that all electrical connections are mechanically sound.

Where necessary to prevent damage to components of equipment, the equipment shall be

disconnected for the duration of the relevant tests. Heat resisting cable should be used in all

locations where wiring is subjected to ambient temperatures in excess of 400C (1040F). A suitable
means of isolating the electricity supply shall be fitted adjacent to and within reach and sight of
the equipment with over current protections.

When running interconnecting control wiring it is essential to avoid the risk of electronic control
signals being corrupted. Care should therefore be taken to avoid running control cables too close
to power cables.
