tees fittings at isolated low points in the piping system. However, the right is reserved by the Owner's
Representative to change the location of any item to accommodate conditions, which may arise during
progress of the work, without additional compensation for such changes provided that no additional heads
are required prior to the installation of the work.
H. Where required, piping shall be installed concealed in building construction, or though steel beams, to
obtain adequate head room.
I. All pipe throughout the job shall be reamed smooth before being installed. Pipe shall not be split, bent,
flattened, or otherwise injured either before or during installation.
