pipe radius cut out on one side. Place the plywood around
installed pipe and nail them together and prop with wooden
batten. Cast back the opening around the pipe with
concrete.

8.2 Installation of ABS Cold Water Pipe procedure. ( Horizontal )

8.2.1 Mark starting and ending point of horizontal pipe to be

installed. Measure the pipe length to determine the pipe
routing and position.

8.2.2 Use drill machine drill the start and end points marked.
Insert 10mm drop-in anchor into drilled points.

8.2.3 Screw in the galvanized threaded rod into drop-in anchor.

Fasten the stud rod to intermediate drop-in anchor.

8.2.4 Install type ‘A’ hanger with the threaded stud with nut and
washers. When the hangers are ready then slot the pipe
through the hangers.

8.2.5 After slot in the pipes, apply ABS Solvent cement to join the
both pipes and fittings together. Complete the jointing check
the pipe joint is in correct position.

8.2.6 If the piping is require enclosed in the brick wall, that piping
must have pressure test before it plaster back with cement
mortar. After it complete pressure test the final connection
to all the sanitary wares fixtures will carry out the functional
test during commissioning.

8.3 Joint System of ABS Cold Water Pipe

8.3.1 Cut the pipe clean and square. Remove internal external burr
and clean out swart.

10.1 ABS Pipe to be check visually before pressure test to be conducted.

10.2 Testing inspection will be carried out to ensure no leaking and all
Connection is well joint.

10.3 Plug all the water outlet point and fill up water.

10.4 Using hand pump to increase the pressure in the test pipe at least 1.5
times the working pressure or 7.0 bars, whichever is higher.

10.5 The pressure test will be held for 24 hours.

10.6 If pressure cannot be sustained, check the pipe for leakage and rectify.
