6.6.14 //DENTAL COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS// //RESERVED//:
//
Design and construct central piped dental compressed air distribution system in accordance with current
editions of NFPA 99, Compressed Gas Association Standards, Specification 15481 (see Part VI), and the
following:
Dental compressed air systems and equipment shall be completely independent of the medical and
laboratory air systems and equipment.
6.6.14.1 CENTRAL SUPPLY SYSTEM:
Verify with VA Contracting Officer the pressure requirement for Dental Clinic and provide the appropriate
system.
Dental air compressors shall be designed and fabricated specially to produce 175 psi // 125 psi //air with a
single stage, without excess noise and vibration. The system shall be capable of producing //Grade H //
Grade D // air, as defined by Compressed Gas Association Standard G-7.1.
Dental air compressors shall be // multiplex // duplex // tripled // with a single receiver. Size compressors
such that 100 percent of the design load is carried with the largest single unit out of service.
Include // primary // and // secondary // air dryers, filters, pressure regulators, and continuous line dew
point and carbon monoxide monitoring, all with valve bypass.
Locate compressors in a clean, relatively cool environment, i.e., not with boilers or heat-producing
equipment, not to exceed 100 degrees F ambient temperature. Locate equipment in an area where it can
be easily monitored regularly by qualified personnel.
Provide a source shut-off valve at the immediate outlet of the source regulator, so that the entire supply
source, including all accessory equipment, can be isolated from the entire pipeline system.
Locate the dental air compressor system intake outdoors above roof level, at least 25 feet from any
building opening or other intake, and where no contamination from engine exhausts, fuel storage vents,
vacuum system discharges, particulate matter or odor of any type is anticipated. Separation distance may
need to be increased, depending upon prevailing wind direction and velocity. Air that is already filtered for
ventilation system use is an acceptable source of air for dental air compressors. Combined intakes must
be sized for no restriction while flowing maximum intake possible, and provided with an isolation valve at
the header for each compressor served.
