PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1  EXAMINATION

  1. Examine ducts, plenums, and units to receive air coils for compliance with requirements for installation tolerances and other conditions affecting coil performance.
  2. Examine roughing-in for piping systems to verify actual locations of piping connections before coil installation.
  3. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

3.2  INSTALLATION

  1. Install coils level and plumb.
  2. Install coils in metal ducts and casings constructed according to SMACNA's "HVAC Duct Construction Standards, Metal and Flexible."
  3. Install stainless-steel drain pan under each chilled-water coil.
  4. Construct drain pans to comply with ASHRAE62.
  5. Construct drain pans to extend beyond coil length and width and to connect to condensate trap and drainage.
  6. Extend drain pan 5 inches upstream from coil face.
  7. Extend drain pan 10 inches downstream from coil face.
  8. Extend drain pan under coil headers and exposed supply piping.

3.3  CONNECTIONS

  1. Piping installation requirements are specified in other Division15 Sections. Drawings indicate general arrangement of piping, fittings, and specialties.
  2. Install piping adjacent to coils to allow service and maintenance.
  3. Unless otherwise indicated, connect piping with unions and shutoff valves to allow coils to be disconnected without draining piping. Refer to piping system Sections for specific valve and specialty arrangements.

3.4  ADJUSTING

  1. Straighten bent fins on each air coil.

3.5  CLEANING

  1. After completing system installation, including outlet fitting and devices, inspect exposed finish. Remove burrs, dirt, and construction debris and repair damaged finishes.
  2. Clean coils using materials and methods recommended in writing by manufacturers, and clean inside of casings and enclosures to remove dust and debris.
