USACE / NAVFAC / AFCESA / NASA UFGS-22 00 00 (February 2009) ----------------------------- Preparing Activity: NAVFAC Superseding UFGS-22 00 00 (August 2008) UNIFIED FACILITIES GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS References are in agreement with UMRL dated January 2009 SECTION 22 00 00 PLUMBING, GENERAL PURPOSE 02/09 NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for general purpose plumbing systems including plumbing fixtures, equipment, and piping which is located within, on, under, and adjacent to buildings. Plumbing system requirements must conform to Federal Standard FED-STD-795, "Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS)," Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities, and Department of Defense (DoD) adopted and approved Plumbing Code (ICC IPC) which is required by Military Handbook MIL-HDBK-1190, "Facility Planning and Design Guide.". Edit this guide specification for project specific requirements by adding, deleting, or revising text. For bracketed items, choose applicable items(s) or insert appropriate information. Remove information and requirements not required in respective project, whether or not brackets are present. Comments and suggestions on this guide specification are welcome and should be directed to the technical proponent of the specification. A listing of technical proponents, including their organization designation and telephone number, is on the Internet. Recommended changes to a UFGS should be submitted as a Criteria Change Request (CCR). This guide specification includes tailoring options for piping, fixtures, water heaters, pumps, compressed air system, and pressure piping, as well as Army and Navy specific items. Selection or deselection of a tailoring option will include or exclude that option in the section, but editing the resulting section to fit the project is still required. PART 1 GENERAL NOTE: This guide specification covers general purpose type plumbing systems. This specification essentially implements the requirements of the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Equipment supports and connections, for either equipment on the ground or in the building, will conform to these requirements. NOTE: Following information shall be shown on project drawings: 1. Only drawings (not specifications) shall indicate capacity, efficiency, dimensions, details, plan view, sections, elevations, and locations of fixtures and equipment; space required to replace strainers, filters, and for maintenance of equipment. 2. Show location of wye strainer on building side of water supply valve in each building; indicate wye strainer blow-off outlet with piping to adjacent exterior wall hydrant. Note: This will clean the strainer each time the wall hydrant is used. 3. Show configuration, slope, and location of each piping system such as: above or below floors, above or below ceilings, above or below roofs, above or below ground. 4. Show location of each sectionalizing valve in each water system. Sectionalizing valves should be ball valves. 5. Show location of each solenoid-operated flush valve and solenoid-operated lavatory faucet on project drawings. 6. The following items will meet this specification: Plastic Bathtub/Shower Units (Note: Sterling Model No. OC-AP-TS-ADVANTAGE) Plastic Bathtubs (Note: Sterling Model No. OC-15-60-ADVANTAGE) Plastic Shower Stalls (Note: Sterling Model No. V-36-HG-VIKRELL-Image) Plastic Bathtub Liners (Note: American Bathtub Liners, Inc.)

The importance of an item in the project should be one of the primary factors in determining if a submittal for the item should be required. A “G” following a submittal item indicates that the submittal requires Government approval. Some submittals are already marked with a “G”. Only delete an existing “G” if the submittal item is not complex and can be reviewed through the Contractor’s Quality Control system. Only add a “G” if the submittal is sufficiently important, complex, or aesthetically significant to merit approval by the Government. For submittals requiring Government approval on Army projects ONLY, a code of up to three characters within the submittal tags may be used following the "G" designation to indicate the approving authority. Codes for Army projects using the Resident Management System (RMS) are: "AE" for Architect-Engineer; "DO" for District Office (Engineering Division or other organization in the District Office); "AO" for Area Office; "RO" for Resident Office; and "PO" for Project Office. Codes following the "G" typically are not used for Navy projects. Submittal items not designated with a "G" are considered as being for information only for Army projects and for Contractor Quality Control approval for Navy projects. Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation; submittals not having a "G" designation are for information only or as otherwise designated. When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government. The following shall be submitted in accordance with Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES: NOTE: Use SD-02 for specialty items or non everyday type systems.

Column F was developed based on corrosive waste typically found at military or civil works facilities, e.g., battery acid at normal concentration levels. The designer should consider each specific application and research which type of pipe would work best. To help, The Plastic Pipe Institute published a report titled "TR-19/2000 Thermoplastics Piping for the Transport of Chemicals" that contains a data table listing the chemical resistance of thermoplastics piping located at web site: http://www.plasticpipe.org/pubs/download/reports/tr19-00.pdf.
