In case of discrepancies between this specification and the applicable codes or

standards, the applicable code or standard shall supersede and the Purchaser shall be
informed in writing by the Bidder of such discrepancies.

In case of discrepancies between this specification and the attached data sheets, the
data sheets shall supersede.

3.0 OPERATING AND DESIGN CONDITIONS

Each device furnished under this specification shall be suitable for continuous 24 hours
per day, 7 days per week, 52 weeks per year, operation in a dusty or wet atmosphere
containing grit and micron sized particles and shall perform satisfactorily under
environmental and operating conditions specified in the attached Valves Data Sheets.

The valves shall be designed for continuous operation at the elevation and ambient
temperature range detailed in the Section 4, “Información específica de terreno de
Collahuasi” of the Material Requisition Doc. N° I08-028-000J-MR093.

Some valves shall operate with Fresh Water and others valves shall operate with milk of
lime. Water analysis is showed in section 6.

Valves control voltage shall be 120 VAC, 50 Hz.

Valves electric components shall have clamp type terminal blocks or screw terminals.
Terminals shall be clearly marked with L, N, G and C, NC or NO for switch contacts.

The enclosures shall be waterproof and dust proof and shall comply with NEMA 4,
NEMA 4X according to data sheets.

Electrical area classification shall be non-hazardous unless otherwise is stated in the

data sheets

Each valves shall be Bidder’s standard, heavy duty, field proven designed with a record
of successful operation in industrial environments as required for the application
specified.

4.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

Valves shall be required for On-Off control.

Body and trim materials are specified on the valve data sheet.

Vendor shall review the specific conditions for each valve in regards to sizing, type,
materials and operating noise levels. Noise levels shall not exceed 85 dBA at a
distance of 1 meter. If noise levels are exceeded, Vendor shall notify the Buyer and
suggest alternative designs to reduce the noise levels.
