accordance with Section- of the specification.

5.1.15 Ensure that the Fire dampers are dynamically rated for closure against airflow as per
requirements in the project specification. Check that the fire rating is written on the label
piece.

5.1.16 Ensure that all volume dampers are constructed with locking quadrant device, to
be mounted on outside of the duct as specified in the project specification.

5.1.17 Ensure that the combination Fire and Smoke dampers comply with the
manufacturing requirements and NFPA as indicated in the section of project
specification. Ensure that all dampers are constructed of the same material as
the duct system to be installed and they are suitable for the duct system of same
pressure class and velocity.(if required)

5.1.18 Ensure that duct insulation to be rapped properly over duct with glue as per
approved material.

5.1.19 Ensure that all insulation joint to be covered with 6oz canvas cloth with approved
vapor barrier paints.
5.1.20 Ensure that all ceiling mounted Diffusers, Supply Registers, Return and Exhaust
Registers, Linear type Diffusers and Grilles are as specified in the section of the
project specification.

subsequent extent of classified areas, are kept to a minimum with regards to
frequency, duration and quantity.
 In situations where there may be a flammable atmosphere, the following steps
shall be taken:
 Eliminate the likelihood of a flammable atmosphere occurring around the source
of ignition.
 Eliminate the source of ignition.

 Where this is not possible, protective measures, process equipment, systems and
procedures should be selected and prepared so the likelihood of the coincidence of
both factors is so remote as to be acceptable. Such measures may be used singly if
they are recognized as being highly reliable or in combination to achieve an
equivalent level of safety.
  All portable hand tools shall have proper insulation, grounding and guarding as
per manufacturer requirements. All portable tools shall be properly maintained
