SPECIFICATION EXAMPLES

Print 

The following specification examples are divided into three types to correspond to the three types of these Mechanical insulation best practices guide, i.e. Piping, Ductwork and Plenum, and Equipment.

It is recommended that the three types of specifications be incorporated into the project specifications as recommended in this manual. If required, each type may be incorporated individually into the applicable section of the project specifications, i.e. Plumbing, or Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC), or Equipment. However, the Quality Assurance clause must be included with each type if used within separate sections of the project specifications. Examples of complete master specification sections have been included in Section 15 of this manual.

It should be noted that only representative examples have been included under the headings in each of the three types of specification examples. All additional items required to be insulated in a particular project, together with the necessary insulation thicknesses, must be included under the appropriate heading by the specifier.
