Ok, so when your doing a bill of material for a piping plan how would you call out a hose bib? I asked a few people and they said they never called one out before. thanx
Normally, I would call it out as a "Speciality Item" .....
These should be given an SP number, similar to an instrument number (depending on your project), and this would reflect on the P&ID.
You would then give a general description of the Item, including:
Name: Hose Bib
Size: Specify Nominal Pipe Size
Rating: As per spec
Feature: Specify design features including connection type
Material: CS / SS etc
and any other information you deem necessary.
Speciality Items may include such items as, Hose Bibs, Bellows, Flow Elements etc, basically anything not included under the headings of Pipe, Fittings, Flanges or Valves.
Verify that all data in the list agrees with:
1) Requirments set out on piping drawings
2) Available hardware in the manufacturers' catalogues.
I hope this helps.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THATS PRETTY MUCH HOW I ENDED UP CALLING IT OUT AND SAID (TBE) EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT SURE IF BOTH ENDS HAVE THE SAME THREADING? I'M SURE SOMEONE DOWN THE LINE WILL CORRECT IT IF NEED BE. I'M KINDA JUST GOING OFF PICTURES SO THERES NOT MUCH I CAN DO.
