between 21 and 29 degrees C 70 and 85 degrees F, at atmospheric pressure.
The test load material shall be at ambient temperature. Testing apparatus
and instruments shall not interfere with accurate operation measurements.
Spore strips shall conform to CID A-A-50879, Type A or B. The performance
tests specified may be waived for equipment of the same model or similar

EXECUTION
3.1
INSTALLATION
Equipment shall be installed at locations indicated in accordance with
manufacturer's printed installation instructions, Section 11700 GENERAL
REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDICAL AND DENTAL EQUIPMENT, and approved detail drawings.
Necessary items such as framing, mounting hardware and trim shall be
furnished and installed as required for the type of equipment furnished.
3.2
ADJUSTING
Following installation, flows, timers, levelers, and similar components and
operation devices shall be adjusted as appropriate. After testing, and
before acceptance, equipment shall be examined to ensure that adjustments
are correct and that any additional adjustments deemed necessary during
product testing or because of timing, have been incorporated.
3.3
UTILITIES
3.3.1
Service Runs
Service runs from equipment shall be connected to building services as
indicated.
3.3.2
Dissimilar Metal Connectors
Connections between ferrous and nonferrous metallic pipe shall be made with
dielectric waterways and flanges. Dielectric waterways shall have
temperature and pressure rating equal to or greater than that specified for
the connecting piping. Waterways shall have metal connections on both ends
suited to match connecting piping. Dielectric waterways shall be
internally lined with an insulator specifically designed to prevent current
flow between dissimilar metals. Dielectric flanges shall meet the
performance requirements described herein for dielectric waterways.
3.3.3
