4.1 RIGID COUPLING INSTALLATION

1) Groove Pipe
Groove the pipe ends according to the manufacturer’s specification.

2) Check Pipe Ends

Pipe must be free from indentations, projections or roll marks on exterior from the
ends to the groove, to assure a leak tight seat fro the gasket. Refer to Figure 1.

3) Check Gasket
Pipe must be free from indentations, projections or roll marks on exterior from the
ends to the groove, to assure a leak tight seat fro the gasket. Refer to Figure 1.

4) Install Gasket
Place gasket over pipe ends, being sure gasket lip does not overhang pipe end.
Refer to Figure 3.

5) Join Pipe Ends

Align and bring 2 pipe ends together and slide gasket into position centered between
the grooves on each pipe. No portion of the gasket should extend into the groove on
either pipe. Refer to Figure 4.

6) Assemble Segments
Loosely assemble all segments leaving one nut and bolt off to allow for “swing-over”
feature. Refer to Figure 5.

7) Apply Housing
With 1 nut and 1 bolt removed, use the “swing-over” feature to position housings
over gasket and into the grooves on both pipes. Refer to Figure 6.

8) Insert Bolt
Insert the remaining bolt to allow easy tightening of the nut. Be sure track head
engages into housing recess. Refer to Figure 7.

9) Tighten Nuts

a) Main Fireman Intercom Panel (MFIP).
i) To be situated at the Fire Control Room
ii) This is command center where all calling and receiving of Remote Fireman
Intercom Stations (RFIS) are monitored and controlled. All the data (calling
and receiving signals) are processed into audio and visual.
iii) The MFIP consists of the following;
 LED indicators
 An audible warning device (buzzer)
 A DC Voltmeter
 A 16 x 1 character LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) for text display

 An operator keyboard for command entry

 Master Handset
 Intercom Status Panel indicating the RFIS’s zone

b) Remote Fireman Intercom Stations (RFIS)

i) To be situated at fire escape routes, such as escape staircase and fire safe
lobbies.
ii) It consists of red colour handset complete with a dynamic receiver and
condenser microphone transmitter. The handset is housed red metal
cabinet with glass front panel, a break glass and key operated door.
iii) Calling and fault condition of all RFIS are monitored at the MFIP.

c) Remote Telephone Terminal Unit (RTTU)

i) To be situated at any of the suitable area, i.e. telephone or electrical riser.
ii) It consist of red color box complete with zone card termination card.
iii) One RTTU can be linked to a maximum of 10 RFIS per set.

2) All the RFIS are to be terminated to the RTTU by 1 pair of PVC cable 1.5mm-sq
each.
3) Wiring from the RTTU (Remote Telephone Terminal Unit) to the Main Fireman
Intercom Panel are:
a) 1 pair twisted and screened (5.4mm2) for data transmission.
b) 1 pair RVC cable (2.5mm2) for speech line.
c) 1 pair PVC cable (2.5mm2) for power supply.

Reference :

1) Minimum of two people are required for the testing. One stationed at the Fireman
Intercom Panel and the other at any chosen Remote Fireman Intercom Station to
actuate calls.
2) Check all indicating light on the Main Fireman Intercom panel console are in good
condition.
3) Calling from the master handset to remote intercom station;
a) Pick-up the master handset, key-in the remote station’s zone number at the
keypad. (Example : Zone 12. Press ‘Call’ Key, followed by ‘12’ and enter key).
b) Led at the remote handset box will light up Check the correct remote station at
the zone.
c) Open the remote handset box, pick-up the handset. Two-way communication
should establish.
4) Calling from any remote intercom station to the Main Fireman Intercom panel;
a) Open the remote handset station box and pick up the handset, call led
at the MFIP should blinked and buzzer ring continuously.
b) Check the correct zone’s calling at the Main Fireman Intercom Panel.
c) To establish the call. Pick up the master handset.
5) Conference call or party lines can be generated from master handset or remote
stations – Maximum of 9 remote fireman intercom + 1 master handset can
communicate simultaneously.
a) Refer to ‘CALL’ procedure (8.3 or 8.4)
b) During Conferencing, the master panel can terminate any calls of
the remote station by pressing the ‘CUT’ key.
c) The master panel can also establish new outgoing or incoming calls by
following the ‘CALL procedures’ and the first received call will be cut-
off.
6) Reset the system and return it to normal position.

CONDUIT INSTALLATION
1) MEASUREMENT / LOCATION OF G.I. CONDUIT AND MARKING OF CONDUIT ROUTE.
a) Site supervisor will study and counter check the proposed locations of the conduit as
shown on the shop drawing. Ensure proper coordination with the Main Contractor and
other trades to optimize the space allocation and proper conduits management.

 METHOD STATEMENT

Reference :

b) Site supervisor will measure the length of G.I. conduit required for installation at site and
instruct the workers to prepare these conduits. Installation will be carried out in a
planned and timely fashion so as not to delay works by other trades.
c) For horizontal installation of conduits, straight lines are marked by using string coated
with white powder, tied to the nails at both ends. Ensures appropriate string tension by
plucking and releasing the string before drawing the straight line. Repeat the steps
above for vertical surface installation.

2) FIXING OF SURFACE G.I. CONDUIT

a) After dismantling the strings and the nails, drill holes along the white lines. Insert the
drop-in anchor bolt into the holes before installing the rods.
b) Clip the G.I. conduits to the rods by using fasteners.
c) If necessary, the G.I. conduit will be cut to length required and threaded. Threading will
be process by stocks and dies. Rotate the stocks and dies two and a half turns in a
clockwise direction and the in a counter clockwise direction, to clear away the
accumulated swart. This will enable the tread to be cut cleanly and efficiently without
fear of stripping. Once completed, file across the leading edge of the thread and reamer
the inner periphery. This prevents cable snagging on burred edges.
d) Conduit sockets complete with thread joint two length of conduits. In case of crossing or
ending or at ‘T’ junction area, cross-boxes, “Tee” boxes, “Trough” boxed are normally
used to link up conduit pipes.
e) As soon as the conduits are fixed, site supervisor will check and inspect the site to
ensure that installations are according to the shop drawings. A formal request will be
extended to the Resident Engineer.

3) STANDARD AND CERTIFICATION

a) Ensure that the capacities of trunkings and conduits provided are adequate to cater all
wirings with a minimum spare space of 40%.

4) METHOD OF FIXING OF CONCEALED G.I CONDUITS

a) Place the conduits between the two layers of slab rebar or behind the column rebars
from dropper to socket outlet points.

Reference :

b) Ensure that conduits, inspection boxes, back boxes and all other accessories used are
rigidly secured to the rebar and all joints are firmly tightened before concreting.
c) Site supervisor must ensure that preventive measures are taken to keep concrete and
unwanted materials from getting into the conduit by temporarily sealing off the open-
ended conduits with tape.

5) METHOD OF FIXING THREADED CONDUIT AT ENTRIES INTO FAS PANEL

6) METHOD OF FIXING CONDUIT INTO CIRCULAR BOX

7) MAXIMUM ALLOWANCE SPACING BETWEEN TWO INSPECTION BOXES OR

CIRCULAR BOXES SHALL NOT BE MORE THAN 9M STRAIGHT RUN.

8) BENDING OF CONDUIT
9) SUPPLEMENTARY SUPPORT AND SPACING OF SUPPORT FOR CONDUITS
