Section 23 83 16 Radiant-Heating Hydronic Piping (REHAU Snow and Ice Melting Systems) This draft specification is for hydronic snow and ice melting systems using PEXa pipe. REHAU supplies these systems under the name REHAU Snow and Ice Melting Systems. This draft specification is provided only as an aid in architect’s/engineer’s development of the final specification and is not intended as a substitute for sound architectural/engineering judgment. The architect/engineer shall be responsible to convert this draft specification into a final specification that meets the functional and aesthetic needs of his/her client, as well as to comply with all applicable codes. Snow and ice melting systems (SIM), where shown on the Drawings and Schedules, shall be hydronic, and shall include the following: Crosslinked polyethylene (PEXa) piping. Distribution manifold(s) with balancing and flow control valves where required. Pipe-to-manifold compression nut fittings. Cold-expansion and compression-sleeve fittings. Pipe fasteners as approved by the manufacturer of the SIM PEXa piping. Controls. Supervision and engineering required for the complete and proper function of the system. Section 23 21 00 Hydronic Piping and Pumps – Section 23 52 00 Heating Boilers – Publications listed here are part of this specification to the extent they are referenced. Where no specific edition of the standard or publication is identified, the current edition shall apply.
