PART 3    EXECUTION
3.1	EXAMINATION
A.	Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly constructed and prepared.
B.	If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect in writing of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
3.2	PREPARATION
A.	Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
B.	Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
C.	For labels that are installed using pressure-sensitive adhesives, clean piping and equipment surfaces of substances that could impair bond of identification devices, including dirt, oil, grease, release agents, and incompatible primers, paints, and encapsulants.
D.	For pipe markers that are pre-coiled or strap-on type and do not adhere directly to the piping, no surface preparation is necessary.
3.3	INSTALLATION
A.	Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, approved submittals and in proper relationship with adjacent construction, and the following:
1.	Near each valve and control device.
2.	Near each branch connection, excluding short takeoffs for fixtures and terminal units. Where flow pattern is not obvious, mark each pipe at branch.
3.	.Near penetrations and on both sides of through walls, floors, ceilings, and inaccessible enclosures.
4.	At access doors, manholes, and similar access points that permit view of concealed piping.
5.	Near major equipment items and other points of origination and termination.
6.	Spaced at maximum intervals of 50 feet along each run. Reduce intervals to 25 feet in areas of congested piping and equipment.
B.	Valve Tags: Install valve tags on all shut-off valves and control devices in piping systems, except valves within factory-fabricated equipment units.
C.	Duct Labels: Locate duct labels where ducts enter into and exits from concealed spaces or is concealed by removable ceiling system as follows:
1.	Near penetrations and on both sides of walls, floors, ceilings, and inaccessible enclosures.
2.	At access doors, manholes, and similar access points that permit view of concealed duct.
3.	Near major equipment items and other points of origination and termination.
4.	Spaced at maximum intervals of 50 feet along each run.
5.	Mark location of equipment or valves located above ceilings with identifying ceiling tacks to help in identification for maintenance
3.4	CLEANING AND PROTECTION
A.	Clean products in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. 
B.	Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
