PART 2 - PRODUCTS

See Editing Instruction No.1 in the Evaluations for cautions about named manufacturers and products.For an explanation of options and Contractor's product selection procedures, see Section016000 "Product Requirements."

2.1GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR VALVES

Plumbing valve applications specified in this Section are limited to NPS12 (DN300).Many valves specified are available in larger sizes.

  1. Source Limitations for Valves:Obtain each type of valve from single source from single manufacturer.
  2. ASME Compliance:
  3. ASMEB1.20.1 for threads for threaded end valves.
  4. ASMEB16.1 for flanges on iron valves.
  5. ASMEB16.5 for flanges on steel valves.
  6. ASMEB16.10 and ASMEB16.34 for ferrous valve dimensions and design criteria.

Valve solder-joint connections are common in smaller sizes of plumbing piping.Soldering and brazing methods used to achieve required pressure-temperature ratings may damage internal valve parts.Special installation requirements for soldered valves may make threaded valves more cost-effective.

Caution:Use solder with melting point below 421 degF (216 degC).

  1. ASMEB16.18 for solder-joint connections.
  2. ASMEB31.9 for building services piping valves.

Retain "NSF Compliance" Paragraph below if products come into contact with potable water.

  1. NSF Compliance:NSF372 or NSF 61 Annex G for valve materials for potable-water service.

Caution:Revise pressure ratings and insert temperature ratings in valve articles if valves with higher ratings are required.Valves larger than NPS12 (DN300) typically have a lower pressure rating than smaller valves.Verify pressure requirements for large valves.

  1. Valve Pressure-Temperature Ratings:Not less than indicated and as required for system pressures and temperatures.
  2. Valve Sizes:Same as upstream piping unless otherwise indicated.
  3. Valve Actuator Types:
  4. Gear Actuator:For quarter-turn valves NPS 10 (DN250) and larger.
  5. Handlever:For quarter-turn valves smaller than NPS 10 (DN250).
  6. Valves in Insulated Piping:
  7. Include 2-inch (50-mm) stem extensions.
  8. Extended operating handles of nonthermal-conductive material and protective sleeves that allow operation of valves without breaking vapor seals or disturbing insulation.
  9. Memory stops that are fully adjustable after insulation is applied.

2.2BRASS BALL VALVES

Retain one or more of paragraphs below if brass ball valves are required.MSSSP-110 covers both brass and bronze, copper-alloy ball valves from NPS1/4 to NPS4 (DN8 to DN100).See the Evaluations and manufacturers' catalogs before selecting either brass or bronze ball valves or including both.

Caution:Two-piece ball valves with a full or regular port are recommended for most services.One-piece ball valves have a reduced port and one fewer leak path.Three-piece ball valves are recommended if disassembly without removing valve from piping is required.

Where pressure drop is a concern, use full-port ball valves.For corrosive or high-temperature applications, use valves with T.E.A. coated ball or stainless-steel-trim.
