Specification for Plumbing and Sanitary Work:

1. General Requirements:

Ø Plumbing and sanitary works shall comply with relevant local building codes, regulations, and standards.

Ø The design and layout of plumbing and sanitary systems shall be carried out by a qualified plumbing engineer or consultant.

2. Materials:

Ø Pipes: Use pipes made of suitable materials, such as PVC, CPVC, PPR, copper, or stainless steel, as specified in the design.

Ø Fittings: Use fittings made of compatible materials and conforming to the specified standards and types.

Ø Fixtures and Appliances: Install fixtures, faucets, valves, water meters, water heaters, and other appliances that meet the required standards and have the necessary certifications.

3. Water Supply System:

Ø Water Source: Connect the plumbing system to an approved and reliable water source, such as a municipal water supply or well.

Ø Pipe Sizing: Size the water supply pipes appropriately based on the expected flow rates and pressures.

Ø Pressure Regulators: Install pressure regulators and control valves as required to maintain safe and optimal water pressure.

4. Drainage and Sewer System:

Ø Drainage Pipes: Install drainage pipes of suitable size, material, and slope to ensure proper flow and prevent blockages.

Ø Ventilation: Provide proper ventilation through the installation of vent pipes and air admittance valves to prevent the buildup of sewer gases.

Ø Traps: Install traps at fixtures and floor drains to create a water seal and prevent the entry of foul odors from the drainage system.

Ø Grease Traps: Include grease traps in kitchen areas to capture and prevent the discharge of grease and oil into the drainage system.

5. Sanitary Fixtures:

Ø Toilet Fixtures: Install water-efficient toilets that meet the required standards for flushing performance and water consumption.

Ø Sinks and Basins: Install sinks and basins with appropriate faucets and drainage fittings to ensure proper usage and hygiene.

Ø Shower Systems: Install showerheads, mixing valves, and drainage systems that provide comfort, safety, and efficient water usage.

6. Hot Water Supply:

Ø Water Heaters: Install water heaters of suitable capacity and energy efficiency to meet the hot water demand of the building or premises.

Ø Insulation: Insulate hot water supply pipes to minimize heat loss and ensure efficient hot water delivery.

7. Backflow Prevention:

Ø Install backflow prevention devices, such as check valves, air gaps, or reduced pressure zone (RPZ) valves, to prevent the contamination of the water supply system.

8. Testing and Commissioning:

Ø Conduct pressure tests, leakage tests, and functional tests on the plumbing and sanitary system to ensure proper installation and performance.

Ø Rectify any identified issues or deficiencies before final commissioning and handover.

9. Quality Control and Inspection:

Ø Regular quality control checks, including inspections and testing of pipes, fittings, and fixtures, shall be conducted as per relevant standards.

Ø Compliance with plumbing codes and regulations shall be verified through inspections by authorized personnel.

10. Safety:

Ø Adequate safety measures shall be implemented during plumbing and sanitary works to ensure the well-being of workers and comply with safety regulations.

Ø Proper handling and storage of materials, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and adherence to safe work practices shall be ensured.

11.  Documentation:

Ø Detailed documentation, including plumbing and sanitary drawings, material specifications, test reports, and compliance certificates, shall be maintained for record purposes.
