5.2 Methodology for Installation of Hanger, Support, Anchors, and Guides
5.2.1 Quality Assurance

5.2.1.1 All bracket, Clamp and rod sizes and indicated in this
specification are minimum sizes, only.
5.2.1.2 Anchor points shall be located and constructed to permit the
piping to take up expansion and constructed freely in opposite
directions from the anchored points.
5.2.1.3 Guide points shall be located and constructed wherever
required or shown on drawings at each side of an expansion
joint or loop, to permit free axial movement of piping system.
5.2.2 Installation Procedure

5.2.2.1 All piping shall be supported only from building structural
steel or galvanized steel inserts imbedded on poured concrete.
Where piping revisions are slabs are poured, 75mm and
smaller may be supported at intermediate points by Hilti, or
other 12mm expansion bolts and shields, provided main
support is not less than 7 meters on centers. All insert
expansion bolts and shields in post-tensioned concrete slabs
shall be submitted to structural engineer for approval prior to
commencement of work. Intermediate support for piping 4’
and larger shall be attached to concrete beams of columns by
means of 100mm x 100mm x 18mm’(horizontal)and
supporting rod at 90 degrees from anchor bolt. Its intent is
only permitted in poured concrete construction.

5.3 Methodology for Sprinkler Heads Installation

5.3.1.1 Inspect glass bulb of sprinkler heads at the time of installation
to make sure that the bulbs contain fluid.
5.3.1.2 Any glass bulb that shows evidence of leakage or does not
have any fluid must be discarded.
5.3.1.3 Do not install any bulb type sprinkler heads if the bulb is
cracked or there is loss of fluid from the bulb.
5.3.1.4 With the sprinkler held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of air bubble is
approximately 1.6 mm for the 13oF/57oC to 2.4 mm for the
360oF/182oC temperature rating. Loss of fluid from a bulb can
cause the sprinkler to fail to activate in a fire.
5.3.2 Installation procedures

5.3.2.1 Install 1/2” and ¾” sprinkler heads in fittings with the pipe in
place. Use standard and quick response sprinkler heads
(upright, pendent, horizontal sidewall, recessed pendent, and
recessed horizontal sidewall) depending on the location.
5.3.2.2 Hand start and then wrench tighten each sprinkler head with
the sprinkler strap in place. The sprinkler may hand-start by
holding onto the sprinkler strap.
5.3.2.3 Do not remove the sprinkler strap until the sprinkler is
completely installed.
5.3.3 Protection
5.3.3.1 The sprinkler heads must be store properly and shield them
from extreme heat. Overheating will damage the sprinkler by
weakening the thermal sensing element resulting to premature
activation.
