Installation of Conduits and Cables For Fire Suppression System

GI Conduits Installation

 Mark the cable route with 360 Laser Level or Guide Wire as per the approved shop drawing.
 Install the saddles using fisher and screw. If necessary, the GI conduit will be cut to the length
required.
 Saddles shall support horizontal/vertical runs at interval not more than 1 meter. Bends shall be
supported with two saddles on each side.
 Conduit sockets joint two lengths of conduits. In case of crossing or ending or at ‘T’ junction area,
metal join box or ‘T’ Joints are normally used to link up conduit pipes.

As soon as the conduits are fixed, site supervisor will check and inspect the site to ensure that the
installations are according to the shop drawings.

 Install the conduits by tightening the conduits to the saddle using screw.
 Extend the conduits length by connecting another length using GI couplers.
 Run the required cables through the conduit.

Installation of Fire Suppression System Devices

 Mark the location of the devices as per approved shop drawings.

 Cutting to be done as per the marking by the civil contractor if needed.
 Fix the base of the devices using fisher and screw.
 Mark the cables as per the requirements (IN/OUT LOOP) if required.
 Terminate the cables to all devices as per the product catalogue.

Installation of Panels

 Mark the location of the panels as per approved shop drawings.

 Cutting to be done as per the marking by the civil contractor. (if recessed)
 Install GI conduits/Trunk to running the cable to the panel. (surface mount)
 Individual conduit should be installed for main power supply.
 Make necessary holes on the panels and install adapters.
 Install the panel using fisher and screw.
 Run the cables through the conduits/trunks up to panel.
 Identify the cables as with tags and terminate cables.
 Terminate the cable to the Fire Alarm Circuit Board as per the approved shop drawing and product
catalogue.

Installation Of Clean Agent Fire Suppression System

Cylinder Installation

 Identify the actual location of the cylinder based on the approved shop drawings.

Install the supports:

 Mark the drill hole location on the wall corresponding to the mounting bracket supplied with the
cylinder.
  Drill the holes as per drop-in anchor size and install the mounting bracket on the wall using metal
wall plugs.

Install the Cylinders:

 Mount the cylinder on the mounting bracket and tighten the cylinder on the mounting bracket with
the supplied strap using bolts.

Painting of Pipes:

Clean the black pipe with cotton rag to remove any dust or grease on the pipes.

After cleaning, paint the black pipes with 1 layer undercoat of wash primer. Ensure all sides (top & bottom)
are painted evenly.

 Put the painted pipes in a good ventilation condition for 24 hours for the paint to dry.
 After the paint is dried, then paint the pipes with 2 layer of finish coat. Ensure all sides (top &
bottom) are painted evenly.

After the finish coat is dry, install the pipes as per approved shop drawings of clean agent fire suppression
system.

Installation of Pipe Support

 Identify the actual location of the hanger based on the approved shop drawing. Mark the position for
installing the drop in anchor after coordination with Structural Engineer.
 Cut the required length of the GI angle as per the site condition.
 Fabricate the support by welding the angles as per the approved shop drawing.
 Drill holes on the fabricated support for fixing the GI angle to the wall/slab and also for installation
the pipes using U bolt as per require pipe sizes.
 Locate the required support locations as per the approved shop drawing and marks the holes to be
drilled on the wall/slab.
 Drill the hole on the marked position as per the anchor bolt sizes.
 Insert the drop in anchor in the hole.
 Tighten the GI angles on drop in anchor using bolts.
 Rigid bracing is required at each directional change fitting, tee and nozzle.

Pipe Cutting

 Cut the required length of the pipe to be threads.

 Check that the cut ends of the pipe are square.
 Install the Threading Dies
 Install the correct die head with threading teethes on the threading machine for the corresponding
pipe size.

Screw Fitting Installation

 Check the pipe length required based on the approved shop drawing.
 Mark the desired length on the pipe and cut it. Make sure the pipe ends are square.
 Place the pipe in the threading machine and thread it accordingly. Make sure the thread of the pipe is
in good condition.
  Remove the oil from the pipe end after the threading procedure and wrap it with Jute and Boss White
or Teflon tape.
 Install the pipe to the screw fitting.

Nozzle Installation

 Install the pipe as per approved shop drawings with provision to install the nozzles at location as
indicated on the approved shop drawing.
 Install support near to the last bend of each nozzle location.
 All drops to 180/360 degrees nozzles require back-bracing in the opposite direction of the discharge.
 Ensure that there is no residuals present inside the pipe before installing the nozzles.
 Install the nozzles by tightening the nozzles at the last end of the pipe at location as identified on the
approved shop drawings.
