| | 1. SEE THE RHEEM "UNIT TIE DOWN INSTRUCTIONS" |
| | (ST-A1024-01). IT STATES "MINIMUM 18 GA. X 1" WIDE |
| | GALV. STEEL STRAP (G90) OR EQUIVALENT (TYPE. 1 EACH |
| | CORNER)." CURB INSTALLATION DETAILS ALSO DO NOT SPECIFY |
| | A SPECIFIC PRODUCT. |
| | |
| | THE TEXT SPECIFIES A STRAP, BUT THE GRAPHIC DEPICTS AN |
| | ANGLE. I WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A HURRICANE CONNECTOR |
| | WHICH MEETS THIS DESCRIPTION. PLEASE SPECIFY WHICH |
| | HURRICANE CONNECTOR WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE FOR EACH DETAIL |
| | TO BE USED ON THIS JOB. |
| | |
| | 2. PLEASE SEE PAGE 11 OF THE SIMPSON STRONG-TIE |
| | CONNECTOR WOOD CONSTRUCTION CONNECTOR CATALOG: |
| | HTTP://WWW.STRONGTIE.COM/LITERATURE/C-2009.HTML |
| | |
| | OR THE USP CONNECTOR CATALOG "CORROSION INFORMATION": |
| | HTTP://WWW.USPCONNECTORS.COM/PDF-FULL-LINE-2009/CATEGOR |
| | IES/CORROSION55.PDF |
| | |
| | |
| | G90 HAS BEEN SPECIFIED, BUT THE CONNECTOR MANUFACTURERS |
| | RECOMMEND THAT G90 FINISH BE USED ONLY IN LOW EXPOSURE |
| | STRUCTURAL APPLICATIONS. IF THE CONNECTOR SPECIFIED IN |
| | RESPONSE TO COMMENT #1 IS OF A G90 FINISH, PLEASE HAVE |
| | BOTH THE MANUFACTURER'S ENGINEER AND THE EOR FOR THE |
| | PROJECT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS INFORMATION. |
| | |
| | 3. SPECIFY THE LOCATION OF HURRICANE ANGLE |
| | INSTALLATION. THE DRAWING APPEARS TO SHOW ANGLES AT |
| | EACH CORNER OF THE LONG SIDE OF THE UNIT AND ONE IN THE |
| | CENTER (WITH A NOTE STATING THAT CENTER TO CENTER NOT |
| | TO EXCEED 48"), BUT NONE ON THE SHORT SIDE. IF |
| | INSTALLED AS DEPICTED GRAPHICALLY, THE UNIT WILL NOT |
| | RESIST WIND FROM ALL DIRECTIONS. FBC1609. |
| | |
| | 4. PROVIDE EITHER A SHOP DRAWING REVIEW STAMP FROM THE |
| | ENGINEER OF RECORD OR A SIGNED AND SEALED LETTER |
| | STATING THAT HE HAS REVIEWED THE STAND AND CURB PRODUCT |
| | APPROVALS, INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, AND CERTIFICATION |
| | FOR WIND RESISTANCE. FBC*106. |
| | |
| | 5. PLEASE CLARIFY METHOD OF INSTALLATION. THE PLAN |
| | STATES THAT THE UNITS WILL BE INSTALLED ON ROOF CURBS. |
| | ROOF CURB INSTALLATION DETAILS WERE SUBMITTED AND A |
| | ROOF STAND DETAIL AND PRODUCT APPROVAL WERE SUBMITTED. |
| | ARE THE UNITS TO BE INSTALLED ON A CURB, STAND, OR ONE |
| | OF EACH? ONE OF THE DETAILS IS FOR A CURB WITH AN |
| | ATTACHMENT, DOES THAT DETAIL ALSO APPLY TO THIS JOB? |
| | PLEASE REMOVE DETAILS WHICH DO NOT PERTAIN TO THIS JOB, |
| | AND REVISE THE DETAILS WHICH DO PERTAIN TO THIS JOB TO |
| | SPECIFY HURRICANE ANCHORS. |
| | |
| | 6. THIS ISSUE MAY BE RESOLVED VIA EMAIL (WITH THE |
| | EXCEPTION OF ITEM 4). THE ENGINEER (EITHER EOR OR RHEEM |
| | ENGINEER) CAN SPECIFY HURRICANE STRAPS OR ANGLES VIA |
| | EMAIL. PRIOR TO ISSUANCE, THE SHOP DRAWING REVIEW STAMP |
| | OR LETTER FROM EOR IS REQUIRED. |
| | |
