D20 PLUMBING


NAVFAC                                                 PTS-D20 (December 2018)
                                             ------------------------------
Preparing Activity: NAVFAC                  SUPERSEDING PTS-D20 (February 2018)

PERFORMANCE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

SECTION D20

PLUMBING
12/18


NOTE:  This section is intended to be used as a guide and contains requirements that are common to many different types of facilities; however, not all requirements and equipment items will be applicable to all projects.  In addition, there may be special requirements for a particular project that are not addressed at all.  The RFP preparer may have to incorporate additional information to address these special requirements in this PTS and corresponding Part 3 ESR.  If the RFP preparer chooses to delete building elements that are not required for the project, do not change the remaining Uniformat paragraph designations (example - A102001).  Uniformat designations are unique to the products they are assigned to. However, the subparagraph numerical extensions (example - 1.2 or a,b,c) of the Uniformat designations may change if subparagraphs are deleted.

This guide specification is formatted utilizing Uniformat II, an industry recognized standard, ASTM E 1557.  When the RFP preparer chooses to add a paragraph that does not apply to an existing building element already included in the specification, refer to the Uniformat/WBS located on the NAVFAC Design-Build Website for a listing of Uniformat II designations and definitions.

NOTE:  The RFP preparer may view or hide the criteria notes in this PTS section by modifying the WORD preferences for "Hidden text".  To view the criteria notes, choose "File" then "Option".  Click "Display" then check the "Hidden text" box under "Always show these formatting marks on the screen".  In the same section, check the box for "Print hidden text" under "Printing options" to print the criteria notes.


NOTE:  The Table of Contents is intended for navigation purposes only for the RFP writer and should not show up in the printed document.

D20 GENERAL

RFP Part 3 including the Engineering System Requirements (ESR) provide project specific requirements.  The RFP Part 4, Performance Technical Sections (PTS) provide generalized technical requirements that apply to multiple facility types and include more requirements than are applicable to any one project. Therefore, only the RFP Part 4 requirements that apply to the project and further define the RFP Part 3 project specific requirements are required.

D20 1.1 NARRATIVE

Use this section in conjunction with all parts of the Design Build (D/B) Request for Proposal (RFP) to determine the full requirements of this solicitation.

This section includes the construction of interior plumbing systems. This section covers installations inside the facility and out to the five foot line. See Section G30, Site Civil/Mechanical Utilities, for continuation of systems beyond the five foot line.

D20 1.2 PLUMBING DESIGN GUIDANCE

Provide the design and installation in accordance with the following references.  This Performance Technical Specification (PTS) adds clarification to the fundamental requirements contained in the following Government Standards.  The general requirements of this PTS section are located in PTS Section Z10, General Performance Technical Specification.

D20 1.2.1 Government Standards

Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP)

UNIFIED FACILITIES CRITERIA (UFC)

UFC 1-200-01 DoD Building Code (General Building Requirements)
(A reference in this PTS section to UFC 1-200-01 requires compliance with the Tri-Service Core UFCs that are listed therein, which includes the following significant UFC(s):

UFC 3-401-01, Mechanical Engineering

UFC 3-420-01, Plumbing Systems)
UFC 1-200-02 High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements

D20 1.3 CONSTRUCTION SUBMITTALS

Submit construction submittals in accordance with PTS section Z10, General Performance Technical Specifications.  In addition to the Z10 requirements, the Designer of Record (DOR) must approve the following construction submittals as a minimum:

D20 1.4 QUALITY CONTROL

Upon completion of the installation test all systems in accordance with the IPC.

D2030 SANITARY WASTE

D203001 WASTE PIPE & FITTINGS

D203001 1.1 BELOW-GROUND PIPING

Cast iron hub and spigot pipe and fittings, rubber compression gasket joints.  Where approved for use by the local authority and IPC, plastic PVC or ABS piping, fittings, and solvent cement meeting requirements of ASTM D 2665 or ASTM D 2661 may be provided.

D203001 1.2 CLEANOUTS

Provide cleanouts.  Utilize material consistent with the piping system materials.  Do not locate sanitary cleanouts within occupied spaces, with the exception of toilet and janitor spaces.

D203002 VENT PIPE & FITTINGS

Cast-iron hubless pipe and fittings, CISPI 301 with CISPI 310 couplings.  Where indicated in ESR Section D20, plastic PVC or ABS piping, fittings, and solvent cement meeting requirements of ASTM D 2665 or ASTM D 2661.  Equip PVC piping with approved firestopping devices as required by code.  Single drainage/vent stack systems (such as Philadelphia system) and mechanical air admittance valves are not acceptable.

D203003 FLOOR DRAINS

Flush strainer or extended rim type.  Provide in mechanical rooms, restrooms, fire pump room, laundry room, and plumbing chase areas.  Also provide floor drains in specific areas of subsistence buildings and cold-storage buildings as identified in UFC 3-420-01.  Provide floor sinks in kitchens.  Provide floor sinks where required for interior air handling unit condensate drains.  Install condensate and drain piping to avoid interference with equipment access and prevent trip hazards.
