Procedure of works:

  1. First Marking to be done for all internal walls in bathrooms, toilets, kitchen and utility showing the positions of taps, valves, and all points including running pipe lines or layout marking, as per the heights clearly mentioned in  the plumbing drawings, by using chalk, straight edge, spirit level and plumb bob.
  2. Exactly follow these marking lines while chasing or groove cutting using cutting machine or chasing machine. In between portion of cutting lines is to be carefully removed by chisel and hammer. Always bear in mind that the depth of groove cutting should be equal to the diameter of pipe and width to be 8 mm more than the diameter to accommodate the pipe line.

3. The following specification and class of materials is recommended as per IS standards.

 a) For Cold water pipes, Blue UPVC high pressure threaded pipes of Schedule 80 made of ASTM IS-1785 and threaded as per IS 1239 (Part I) to be used and GI fittings for pipe work as per IS 1239 (Part II)
