| | 2007 REVISIONS, CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH AMENDMENTS TO |
| | CHAPTER 1 (W.P.B.), FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE |
| | (F.A.C.), AND FLORIDA STATUTES (F.S.). |

| | GAS PLAN REVIEW: |
| | REVISION DENIED: |

| | |
| | **PREVIOUS PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS** |
| | |
| | 1. **NO COMMENT RESPONSE, COMMENT NOT ADDRESSED** |
| | SHEET P4.16: SUBMIT AN ISOMETRIC DRAWING THAT CLEARLY |
| | SHOWS ALL CUT SECTIONS OF PIPE |
| | AND CORRESPONDING LENGTHS PER FBC-2004 |
| | FUEL GAS CODE SECTION *401.1 SCOPE. |
| | ***THE RESUBMITTED REVISION STILL ARE NOT CLEARLY |
| | INDICATING THE CORRESPONDING LENGTHS TO ALL CUT |
| | SECTIONS OF PIPE. PLESE REFERENCE THE RED CIRCLED AREA |
| | AND YELLOW HIGH LIGHTED PIPES WITH NO CORRESPONDING |
| | LENGTHS. |
| | |
| | ****NOTE: REVISED PLANS ARE DESIGNED FROM TRACPIPE |
| | FLEXIBLE GAS PIPING DESIGN GUIDE AND INSTALLATION |
| | INSTRUCTIONS SECTION 3.2D-ALTERNATE SIZING METHOD: SUM |
| | OF PRESSURE LOSS CALCULATIONS. |
| | (3) STARTING AT THE METER AND WORKING OUTWARD THE |
| | PRESSURE LOSS FOR EACH LEG IS SUMMED UP UNTIL THE |
| | FARTHEST APPLIANCE IS REACHED. |
| | |
| | ****THE REVISED GAS PLANS ARE NOT INDICATING THE |
| | PRESSURE LOSS FOR EACH LEG PER TRACPIPE DESIGN GUIDE |
| | NOR ARE THERE ANY CALCULATIONS BEING INDICATED FOR |
| | PRESSURE LOSS FOR EACH LEG. COMMENT #1 NEEDS TO BE |
| | ADDRESSED AND PRESSURE LOSS FOR EACH LEG NEEDS TO BE |
| | CALCULATED AND INDICATED ON THE PLANS. |

| | HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED HOWEVER THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE |
| | MP REGULATORS** |
| | |
| | AT A MINIMUM THE REVISED PLANS SHALL REFLECT WHAT IS |
| | INSTALLED AND THEY DO NOT. PLEASE CORRECT THE PLANS TO |
| | REFLECT THE FOLLOWING ON ALL AREAS OF THE PLAN SHEET. |
| | PER FBC FUEL GAS SECTION *401.1, SCOPE. |

| | B- **OK** COMMENT ADDRESSED |

| | C- **OK** COMMENT ADDRESSED. |
| | |
| | D- **OK** COMMENT ADDRESSED. |
| | |
| | ****NOTE: THERE ARE STILL CONCERNS WITH THE MP |
| | REGULATORS. |
| | |
| | NOTE: PER MAXITROL ([email protected]) THE 325-7 IS |
| | ONLY RATED FOR 900,000 BTU'S. THE 325-7 WOULD NEED A |
| | MINIMUM OF 1 PSI ON THE INLET AND THE 210 CAN WORK AT |
| | 14" W.C.PRESSURE. THE 210 SERIES IS NOT A DEAD END LOCK |
| | UP. |
| | |
| | ****RESUBMITTED REVISED PLANS ARE INDICATING ONLY |
| | 700,000 BTU'S FOR THE POOL/SPA HEATERS, HOWEVER |
| | MAXITROL STATES FROM THEIR TEC SUPPORT THAT THERE |
| | REGULATORS SHOULD NOT BE USED. AT THE CAPACITIES BEING |
| | USED ON THIS SYSTEM THEY DO NOT MAKE A DEAD END LOCKUP |
| | REGULATOR. A BETTER CHOICE WOULD BE ANOTHER COMPANY |
| | SUCH AS ACTARIS OR INVENSYS. |
| | |
| | **WITH THE FACTS BEING STATED FROM MAXITROL NEITHER |
| | REGULATOR IS ACCEPTABLE DUE TO THE PRESSURE LOSS OF THE |
| | SYSTEM (42.024 WATER COL. PRESSURE DROP OF SYSTEM WHICH |
| | LEAVES LESS THAN 0.5 PSI AT THE REGULATORS), LOAD |
| | CAPACITY OF REGULATORS (325-7 RATED 900,000 BTU), AND |
| | 210 SERIES NOT BEING A DEAD END LOCK UP, WHICH MEANS |
| | UNDER STATIC CONDITIONS WHEN NO GAS IS FLOWING, OUTLET |
| | PRESSURE WILL RISE TO LINE PRESSURE. |
| | |
| | ****PER TRACPIPE DESIGN GUIDE: FOR A 2 PSI SYSTEM, THE |
| | PROPER DROP IS USUALLY 1 PSI FOR THIS PART OF THE |
| | SYSTEM. |
| | NOTE: THE REVISED GAS RISER DESIGN PRESSURE LOSS |
| | INDICATED ON THE PLANS IS 42.024 WATER COL., 1 PSI |
| | WATER COL IS 28. PER TRACPIPE DESIGN GUIDE THE REVISED |
| | GAS SYSTEM EXCEEDS THERE LIMIT BY 14.024 WATER COL. |
| | |
| | **IT IS SUGGESTED THAT SYSTEM DELIVERY PRESSURE BE |
| | INCREASE TO 5 PSI AND THE PROPER MP REGULATORS BE |
| | INSTALLED AFTER CONFERRING WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THREE |
| | COPIES OF THE MP REGULATOR MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATION |
| | SHEETS WITH THE MAKE, MODEL NUMBER, BTU LOAD CAPACITY, |
| | AND A LISTING FROM A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED TESTING |
| | LABORATORY ARE REQUIRED. |

| | ********IMPORTANT INFORMATION******** |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING PLANS, PLEASE INDICATE THE REVISION |
| | AND REMOVE & REPLACE ANY PAGES AS NECESSARY. A |
| | TRANSMITTAL LETTER LISTING THE ORIGINAL REVIEW COMMENT |
| | NUMBER, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE REVISION MADE, |
| | IDENTIFYING THE SHEET OR SPECIFICATION PAGE WHERE |
| | CHANGES CAN BE FOUND WILL HELP TO EXPEDITE YOUR PERMIT. |
| | THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED COOPERATION. |
