See all templates and procedures included in the program.
Quality Control Manual Template
As part of BPV compliance, your company is required to keep a copy of Quality Control Manual which is to reviewed by the TSSA inspector. HRAI’s BPV compliance program provides a copy of an approved Quality Control Manual template so that you company can easily create completed quality control manual from this template.
Pre-registered P-standard Drawings for Piping
When you are working on a refrigeration/air conditioning piping that falls under the scope of BPV compliance requirement, you need to submit piping design drawings to TSSA’s design review and registration. HRAI provides a set of generic industry piping design drawings that have already been registered and approved by TSSA, which helps you in reducing time and costs associated with compliance.
The following pre-approved P-standard Piping Schematic drawings are available in HRAI’s BPV Program Library.
For R22, R407C and R410A refrigerants:- “Roof Level Installation Condensing Unit above DX Coil”
- “Ground Level Installation Condensing Unit below DX Coil”
- “Packaged A/C Unit with Remote Condensers”
- “Built-Up Air Conditioning Systems”
- “Packaged DX Chillers”
- “Commercial Refrigeration: Compressor, Receiver Packaged below Evaporators”
- “Commercial Refrigeration: Packaged Condensing Receiver Unit above Evaporators”
Pre-registered Industry-Generic Brazing Procedures
HRAI provides a series of pre-registered industry-generic brazing procedures that are already registered with TSSA. You are advised to download these brazing procedures from HRAI’s BPV website, print out and keep them with company’s quality control manual for TSSA inspector’s review.
Currently, HRAI has the pre-registered procedure for copper to copper brazing (designed to cover tubing sizes of 3/8” O.D. to 4-1/8” O.D. for ACR pipes) but more are coming soon!
*Note: The piping design drawings are specific to the refrigerants that are used in the piping. If your project involves working with refrigerants other than the ones available in HRAI’s drawing library or these generic piping designs cannot be applied to your project, then the company will be responsible for preparation of the piping layout design and will need to submit the design to TSSA for its design review and registration.
