| | |
| | GENERAL: ON CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT SHEET FP000, THE |
| | ENGINEER OF RECORD (NELSON LONG, P.E.) INDICATES A |
| | REMOTE AREA OF 1,500 SQ.FT. SHALL BE HYDRAULICALLY |
| | CALCULATED FOR LIGHT HAZARD AREAS. ENGINEER IS TO |
| | PROVIDE A SIGNED/SEALED LETTER OR REVISED DRAWING |
| | INDICATING THAT THE SPRINKLER CONTRACTOR'S PROPOSED |
| | ROOM DESIGN METHOD SHOWN AND CALCULATED ON THE |
| | SPRINKLER SHOP DRAWINGS IS ACCEPTABLE. TO UTILIZE THE |
| | ROOM DESIGN METHOD, ALL ROOMS SHALL BE ENCLOSED WITH |
| | WALLS HAVING A FIRE RESISTANCE RATING OF 30 |
| | MINUTES..THIS NEEDS TO BE INDICATED ON THE PLANS. FOR |
| | AREAS NOT ENCLOSED BY WALLS WITH A FIRE RESISTANCE |
| | RATING SUCH AS THE RESIDENTS DIETARY AND DINING AREA |
| | NEED TO BE SUPPORTED BY HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS. |
| | |
| | GENERAL: (SEE ARCHITECTURAL SHEETS A401 & A402 FOR |
| | REFERENCE)THE OVERHEAD LIFT TRACK SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE |
| | A SOLID OBSTRUCTION APPROXIMATELY 6"-8" IN DEPTH IN ALL |
| | LIVING UNIT TYPES A THROUGH D. LIVING UNIT TYPE E HAS |
| | THIS SAME TRACK WHICH APPEARS TO EXTEND INTO THE |
| | SHOWER. THIS TRACK APPEARS TO RESULT IN SPRINKLER SPRAY |
| | OBSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE EXPLAIN. |
| | |
| | GENERAL: IT IS UNCLEAR FROM THE PLANS AND SPRINKLER |
| | SCHEDULE IF RESIDENTIAL STYLE SPRINKLERS ARE TO BE |
| | INSTALLED IN ALL LIVING UNITS ON ALL THREE FLOORS. |
| | NOTE: RESIDENTIAL SPRINKLERS WERE NOT HYDRAULICALLY |
| | CALCULATED. |
| | |
| | GENERAL: FOR SYSTEM PRESSURES EXCEEDING 100 PSI, |
| | ARMOVERS AND END OF BRANCH LINE PENDENT SPRINKLERS |
| | SHALL BE PROTECTED FROM UPWARD MOVEMENT. HANGERS SHALL |
| | BE LOCATED WITHIN 12-INCHES OF THE DROP ELBOW. INDICATE |
| | THE HANGER TYPE OR METHOD TO BE USED FOR RESTRAINING |
| | UPWARD MOVEMENT. |
| | |
| | SHEET FP101: THE RESIDENTIAL STYLE SPRINKLERS WITH A |
| | K-FACTOR OF 4.3 COULD NOT BE LOCATED IN ANY OF THE |
| | SLEEPING ROOMS. THE PLANS INDICATE A SPRINKLER COUNT OF |
| | 84. |
| | |
| | SHEET FP101: FLEXIBLE DINING ROOM #129 HAS SPRINKLERS |
| | LOCATED IN THE 8'-6" CEILING; HOWEVER, THE SPRAY WILL |
| | BE OBSTRUCTED BY THE PERIMETER SOFFIT LOCATED AT 8'-3" |
| | AFF. |
| | |
| | SHEET FP101B: THE PRODUCT DATA INDICATES THAT CPVC |
| | PIPING WILL BE USED FOR PIPING 2" AND SMALLER; HOWEVER, |
| | THE HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS CORRESPONDING TO THIS SHEET |
| | INDICATE A C-FACTOR OF 150 FOR SOME SECTIONS OF 3" |
| | PIPING. |
| | |
| | SHEET FP102: THE SIDEWALL SPRINKLERS PROTECTING THE |
| | LIVING UNITS ON THE FIRST FLOOR ARE INDICATED AS |
| | RESIDENTIAL SIDEWALL SPRINKLERS (K=4.4); HOWEVER, |
| | REGULAR (K=5.6) SIDEWALL SPRINKLERS ARE USED IN THE |
| | SECOND AND THIRD FLOOR LIVING UNITS. PLEASE EXPLAIN. |
| | |
| | SHEET FP102: FLEXIBLE DINING ROOM #229 HAS SPRINKLERS |
| | LOCATED IN THE 8'-6" CEILING; HOWEVER, THE SPRAY WILL |
| | BE OBSTRUCTED BY THE PERIMETER SOFFIT LOCATED AT 8'-3" |
| | AFF. |
| | |
| | SHEET FP102: SPRINKLER COVERAGE IS ABSENT FROM THE |
| | SOUTHWEST CORNER OF CENTRAL STORAGE ROOM #276. |
| | |
| | SHEET FP103: (SEE ARCHITECTURAL SHEET A153, A401 AND |
| | SHEET A591 - DETAIL 16 FOR REFERENCE) INDICATE THE |
| | CURRENT CEILING AND SOFFIT ELEVATIONS FOR THE LIVING |
| | UNITS AS THE SPRINKLER SHOP DRAWINGS SEEM TO CONFLICT |
| | WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL CEILING HEIGHTS. PER NPFA 13, |
| | THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE DISTANCE OF DEFLECTOR ABOVE THE |
| | BOTTOM OF THE OBSTRUCTION IS 14-INCHES FOR STANDARD |
| | SPRAY SIDEWALL SPRINKLERS (TABLE 8.7.5.1.3 - NFPA 13, |
| | 2010 ED). |
| | (NOTE: A RESIDENTIAL SIDEWALL SPRINKLER CANNOT BE USED |
| | DUE TO THE CEILING/SOFFIT HEIGHT DIFFERENCES PER NFPA |
| | 13). |
| | |
| | SHEET FP103: FLEXIBLE DINING ROOM #329 HAS SPRINKLERS |
| | LOCATED IN THE 8'-6" CEILING; HOWEVER, THE SPRAY WILL |
| | BE OBSTRUCTED BY THE PERIMETER SOFFIT LOCATED AT 8'-3" |
| | AFF. |
| | |
| | SHEET FP103: PROVIDE SPRINKLER PROTECTION AT THE TOP OF |
| | STAIR #2 AND #3. |
| | |
| | SHEET FP104: PROVIDE CONTROL VALVES, FLOW SWITCHES AND |
| | INSPECTOR'S TEST CONNECTIONS FOR THE SPRINKLERS |
| | PROTECTING ROOF AIR HANDLER ROOMS SO A SPRINKLER ALARM |
| | IN THESE AREAS IS NOT MISTAKEN AS A THIRD FLOOR ALARM. |
| | |
| | SHEET FP104: THE RISER AND CROSS MAIN ARE INDICATED AS |
| | 3" ON THE PLANS; HOWEVER, THE CROSS MAIN ON THE FLOOR |
| | BELOW (SHEET FP103) INDICATES THIS MAIN TO BE 2-1/2". |
| | |
