O. Inspection, Repair and Troubleshooting

1.Inspect the tubing connections and piping as the job is completed.

2.Perform a final pressure test on the system after all flooring is in place and building is ready for occupancy to verify all joints are tight and no damage has occurred to the tubing during construction.

3.Repair of kinked or crushed tubing:

Use a copper pipe truer to restore the tubing roundness.

If the damage is so severe that this cannot be done, cut out the damaged section of tubing.

Cut a new length of tubing long enough to span the gap.

At each end of the splice section, install an AlumiPex coupling.

Slip a length of heat shrink tubing over each end before tightening the couplings.

Tighten couplings. Then seal them with the heat shrink tubing.

Route a groove in the subflooring deep enough to accommodate the finished repair section.

Mark the location of any such repairs on the tube layout drawing
