PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Examine areas, equipment foundations, and conditions with installer present for compliance
with requirements for installation and other conditions affecting pump performance. Do not
proceed with installation until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
B. Examine the installed plumbing and drainage system, verify actual locations of piping
connections prior to installation.
3.2 INSTALLATION
3.3 ALIGNMENT
A. Align pump and driver shafts after complete unit has been leveled on foundation and after
grout has set and foundation bolts have been tightened.
B. After alignment is correct, tighten foundation bolts evenly but not too firmly. Fill base plate
completely with non-shrink, nonmetallic grout, with metal blocks and shims or wedges in
place. After grout has hardened, fully tighten foundation bolts. Check alignment and take
corrective measures required.
3.4 CONNECTIONS
A. Comply with requirements for piping specified in Division 22 Section "Domestic Water
Piping." Drawings indicate general arrangement of piping, fittings, and specialties.
B. Install piping adjacent to pumps to allow service and maintenance.
C. Connect domestic water piping to pumps. Install suction and discharge piping equal to or
greater than size of pump nozzles.
1. Install flexible connectors adjacent to pumps in suction and discharge piping of the
following pumps:
2. Install shutoff valve and strainer on suction side of each pump, and check, shutoff,
and throttling valves on discharge side of each pump. Install valves same size as
connected piping. Comply with requirements for valves specified in Division 22
Section "General-Duty Valves for Plumbing Piping" and comply with requirements for
strainers specified in Division 22 Section "Domestic Water Piping Specialties."
3. Install pressure gage and snubber at suction of each pump and pressure gage and
snubber at discharge of each pump. Install at integral pressure-gage tappings where
provided or install pressure-gage connectors in suction and discharge piping around
pumps. Comply with requirements for pressure gages and snubbers specified in
Division 22 Section "Meters and Gages for Plumbing Piping."
A. Pre Installation Inspection: Examine the areas and conditions under which the boosting
units are to be installed and correct any unsatisfactory conditions detrimental to the proper
and timely completion of the work. Do not proceed with the work until unsatisfactory
conditions have been corrected in a manner suitable to the Owner.
B. Post Installation Check: The authorized representative of the manufacturer or supplier of the
equipment shall visit site, to inspect, check, adjust if necessary and approve the installation
of all boosting units.
C. Carry out necessary testing to ensure installations are in working order and acceptable to
the Owner.
D. Ensure that equipment supplier’s representative is present when equipment is placed
in operation.
3.6 IDENTIFICATION
A. Comply with requirements for identification specified in Division 22 Section "Identification for
Plumbing Piping and Equipment" for identification of pumps.
3.7 COMMISSIONING
A. Carry out status checks on electrical wiring, settings of all control and safety devices to
ensure conditions are safe prior to start up and running.
B. Operate equipment to ensure that all control temperature pressure and safety devices
function as required and log settings of all control and safety devices for tabulation and
inclusion in submittal document required in accordance with this Specification. The
equipment shall be left in safe and proper working order for the post-installation check.
6. Prime pump by opening suction valves and closing drains, and prepare pump for
operation.
7. Start motor.
