Enlarged Drawings The drawings that contain a significant amount of information require much more space to clearly communicate the scope of work. These drawings tend to be the ¼” scale or larger, in order to show exact placements and or intent. In addition, these drawings may comprise several elevations to demonstrate the intent. Organization and Approach The Mechanical drawings represent work that is closely coordinated with many other disciplines such as architectural, structural, electrical, and plumbing. The need to have very well coordinated drawings is equally important with all disciplines. Based on many experiences, the last minute little changes from one discipline cause large issues for another discipline. The mechanical drawings should reflect the clear scope of work and the application of separate systems on their own drawings will provide better definition of the intended work. Examples of this are as follows: Sheet Number: M001 M002 M100 M201 M202 M301 M401 M501 M601 Sheet Description: Mechanical Title Sheet, Drawing Index Schedules, Notes, Table 4-A Calculations Site Plan – Mechanical 1 st Floor Plan – Mechanical & Hydronic Plans 2 nd Floor Plan – Mechanical & Hydronic Plans Enlarged Floor Plans - Mechanical Piping Diagrams Details Controls 3.11 Best Practices for Plumbing Drawings Plumbing Documentation Purpose The purpose of the Plumbing Drawings are intended to depict all plumbing systems and components necessary to provide code required plumbing systems within the hospital.

• Identify any equipment that requires seismic certification and/or essential power. • Identify equipment mounting detail locations. • Identify water temperatures and high limit alarm locations. • Provide information indicating domestic hot water distribution temperatures per CPC Chapter 6. • Identify medical gas zone valve and alarm locations. • Identify areas where special precaution piping is required per CAN 5-311.9. • Identify roof drainage calculations. • Identify Domestic Water sizing criteria. • Indicate wall ratings and locations of fire/smoke dampers. • Provide validation that existing equipment and distribution services have the necessary capacity during remodel or expansion projects. Information Plans Various types of drawings are necessary to convey essential information such as Schedules, Piping Diagrams, Mounting Details and Control Diagrams. The title page should clearly define the project location and vicinity by graphical means. The applicable building codes should be stated. A drawing index is recommended to clearly identify all the unique systems that may be involved. Site Plans If the project involves outside (exterior) plumbing work outside the normal 5’-0” from the building, then it should be clearly shown in the site plan documentation. Floor Plans It is recommended to follow the architectural floor plan nomenclature for sheet order and sheet numbering in order to simplify the logical sequence of cross-coordination with all trades (disciplines). Traditionally, the floor plans provide the documentation of the architectural features as a shaded background and the plumbing devices are prominently shown on top of these locations. However, it is important to clearly identify room names and wall ratings for OSHPD review.

Enlarged Drawings<br />

The drawings that contain a significant amount <strong>of</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation require much more space to clearly<br />

communicate the scope <strong>of</strong> work. These drawings tend to be the ¼” scale or larger, in order to<br />

show exact placements <strong>and</strong> or intent. In addition, these drawings may comprise several<br />

elevations to demonstrate the intent.<br />

Organization <strong>and</strong> Approach<br />

The Mechanical drawings represent work that is closely coordinated with many other disciplines<br />

such as architectural, structural, electrical, <strong>and</strong> plumbing. The need to have very well coordinated<br />

drawings is equally important with all disciplines. Based on many experiences, the last minute<br />

little changes from one discipline cause large issues <strong>for</strong> another discipline.<br />

The mechanical drawings should reflect the clear scope <strong>of</strong> work <strong>and</strong> the application <strong>of</strong> separate<br />

systems on their own drawings will provide better definition <strong>of</strong> the intended work. Examples <strong>of</strong> this<br />

drawings should show clear description <strong>of</strong> the work required <strong>for</strong> the project. In many cases, the<br />

project may involve the documentation <strong>of</strong> existing plumbing systems <strong>and</strong> should clearly identify<br />
