Because of the small scale of the drawings, it is not possible to indicate
all offsets, fittings, and accessories that may be required. The
Contractor shall carefully investigate the plumbing, fire protection,
electrical, structural and finish conditions that would affect the work to
be performed and arrange such work accordingly, furnishing required
offsets, fittings, and accessories to meet such conditions.
1.5.3
Spare Parts
The Contractor shall submit spare parts data for each different item of
equipment specified, after approval of detail drawings and not later than
[_____] months prior to the date of beneficial occupancy. The data shall
include a complete list of parts and supplies, with current unit prices and
source of supply, a recommended spare parts list for 1 year of operation,
and a list of the parts recommended by the manufacturer to be replaced on a
routine basis.

NOTE: Inapplicable equipment and system
requirements will be deleted or modified in all
paragraphs to suit the system designed. Coordinate
the standard and design option features typical for
each Air-Conditioning/Heat Pump unit and individual
installation. Care must be taken to avoid
specifying design options which are generally
unavailable in certain combinations or are
inappropriate for the application.
Projects which include vapor-compression type
refrigeration systems will comply with the safety
standards defined in ASHRAE 15. Designers will be
responsible for thoroughly researching and
implementing the ASHRAE 15 safety requirements. For
refrigerant-containing parts (excluding piping)
located within an indoor space, a designer can use
the following 6-step synopsis as a guide in
determining "System Application Requirements" from
ASHRAE 15.
Step 1. Identify the safety group
classification of the refrigerant anticipated to be
used in the new refrigeration equipment.
Refrigerants R-22 and R-134a are considered Group A1
refrigerants. Refrigerant R-123 is considered a
Group B1 Refrigerant.
Step 2. Identify the occupancy classification
of the facility which will house the new refrigerant
equipment. Occupancies include institutional,
public assembly, residential, commercial, large
mercantile, industrial, and mixed types.
Step 3. Determine the system probability (high
or low) of the new refrigeration equipment. Split
system applications are typically considered
high-probability systems according to ASHRAE 15.
