heating within the building. Steam boilers, feedwater treatment equipment,
process steam terminal units, boiler feed piping, and blow-off piping are
not covered in this section.
1.2.1
Classes and Maximum Working Pressures
Equipment, piping, and piping components shall be suitable for use under
the maximum working pressure indicated. Except as modified herein, the
pressure temperature limitations shall be as specified in the referenced
standards and specifications.
1.2.2
Standard Commercial Product
The terminal units provided shall, as a minimum, comply with the features
specified herein and shall be the manufacturer's standard commercial
product. Additional or better features which are not specifically
