equipment so that removal of equipment or components or equipment can be done with least
amount of disassembly or removal of pipe system.

Cut to the measurements established at the site and work into place pipe bends which will be
acceptable in lieu of pipe fittings. The pipe bends will have a uniform radius of at least five times
the nominal pipe diameter and shall be free of any flattening, wrinkling or thinning of the pipe
walls.

Brazing and soldering procedures for joints will be in accordance with local standards.

Pipe insulations shall only be applied to refrigerant gas lines.

C. Pipe sleeves

Provide sleeves where piping passes through walls and partitions. Secure sleeves in proper
position and location during construction. Provide sleeves of sufficient length to pass through
entire thickness of walls and partitions.
 Provide not less than 6 mm space between exterior of piping of pipe insulation and interior of

SPECIFICATIONS FOR GENERAL CONSTRUCTION

DIVISION MM : MISCELLANEOUS METALS (STEEL FRAMES)

MM 105 : SHOP FABRICATION

105.1 Supplemental Part : include supplementary parts necessary to complete
miscellaneous metal work though not definitely shown or specified
herein.
105.2 Measurement and Dimensions : Verify measurements and dimensions
at the jobsite and cooperate in the coordination and scheduling of the
work of this section with the work of related trades (with particular
attention given to the installation of items embedded in concrete and
masonry) so as not to delay job progress.
105.3 Forming of Exposed Work : Form exposed work true to line, and level,
with accurate angles and surfaces straight, sharp edges. Ease exposed
edges to radius of approximately 1/32” unless otherwise shown. Form
ben metal corners to smallest radius possible without causing grain
separation or ohterwise impairing work.
 105.4 Forming Exposed Connection : Form exposed connection with hairline
joints, flush, and smooth; using concealed fasteners where possible.
Exposed threaded portion of bolts and screws shall be cut off flush
with adjacent metal. Cut, drill, punch, and tap as required for the
installation and attachment of other miscellaneous metal work.
105.5 Forming Built-in-Metal-Work : Metal : Metal work built in with
concrete or masonry shall be formed for anchorage, or be provided
with suitable anchors, expansion shields, or other anchoring devices
shown or required to provide support for intended use. Furnish such
metal work in ample time for setting and securing in place.
105.6 Welds : Make joints as strong and rigid as adjoining sections. Make
welds continuous along entire line of contract except those where spot
welding is indicated.

Grind exposed welds flush and smooth to match and blend with
adjoining surfaces. Where bolted or riveted connections are indicated,
such connections may be welded.

105.7 Welding Requirements : Where welding is performed comply with

AWS D1.1.
105.8 Threaded Connections : Make threaded connection up tight so that
threads are entirely concealed. Abutting bars shall be shouldered and
headed, dowelled and pinned. Rivet, bolt, and screws heads, shall be
flat and countersunk in exposed work and elsewhere as required.
Carefully machine, fit and secure removable members of Allen set
screws of proper size and spacing.
105.9 Preassembling, Disassembling, and Reassembling :
Preassemble item in shop to greatest extent possible to minimize fields
splicing and assembly. Following trial fit, disassemble units only as
necessary for shipping and handling limitations. Clearly matk units for
reassembly and coordinated installation. Provide alignment and splice
plates for accurate field fit.

MM 106 : SHOP PAINTING

106.1 Requirements : All structural steel shall receive a shop of primer paint
except as follows:
1. Members encases in concrete.
2. Contact surface of welded connections and areas within 2 in. Of

3. Contact surfaces of high-strength bolted connections
4. Milled surfaces.

106.2 Primer Application : Apply specified primer by brush spray, roller or

other approved means to provide a minimum of dry film thickness of
2.0 mi. No painting shall be done when the surface temperature of the
steel is below the temperature at which condensation will occur. Apply
