| | REVISION DENIED: |
| | |
| | PLAN REVIEW UNDER THE 2004 FLORIDA BUILDING CODES WITH |
| | 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.). |
| | |
| | THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS/INFORMATION ARE REQUIRED FOR |
| | PLUMBING PLAN REVIEW TO MEET CODE COMPLIANCE. |
| | |
| | 1. SHEET P.1 IS INDICATING THE WRONG REVISION NUMBER |
| | 3. THAT REVISION NUMBER IS DATED 10/30/07 WHICH IS |
| | BEFORE PLANS WERE PERMITTED. I THINK THE CORRECT |
| | REVISION NUMBER SHOULD BE 7. PLEASE CLARIFY, CORRECT, |
| | AND CORRELATE THIS REVISION. PER THE FOLLOWING "ALL |
| | CHANGES TO THE PLAN ARE TO BE CLOUDED WITH REVISION |
| | NUMBERS/DATES PER FBC-2004 CHAPTER 1, SECTION 106.1.3 |
| | THE BUILDING OFFICIAL MAY ESTABLISH THROUGH |
| | DEPARTMENTAL POLICY, STANDARDS FOR PLANS AND |
| | SPECIFICATIONS, IN ORDER TO PROVIDE CONFORMITY TO ITS |
| | RECORD RETENTION PROGRAM. |
| | NOTE: A TRANSMITTAL LETTER IS HELPFUL." |
| | |
| | 2. SHEET P.1 PLUMBING FLOOR PLAN HAS THE INCORRECT |
| | SIZE OF THE CLEANOUT FOR THE WASHING MACHINE INDICATED |
| | AS BEING 2 INCH. THE CORRECT SIZE OF THIS CLEANOUT IS 3 |
| | INCH. PER FBC- PLUMBING SECTION 708.7 MINIMUM SIZE. |
| | |
| | 3. SHEET P.1 SANITARY RISER DIAGRAM: THE TWO |
| | LAVATORIES ARE NOT BEING IDENTIFIED IN MASTER BATH #113 |
| | ON THE RISER DIAGRAM. PER FBC- PLUMBING SECTION 401.1 |
| | AND 701.1 SCOPE. |
| | |
| | 4. SHEET P.1 SANITARY RISER DIAGRAM: THE REVISION WITH |
| | THE VENT THRU WALL INSTEAD OF THRU THE ROOF NEEDS |
| | CLARIFICATION. A PLUMBING INSPECTION DATED 6/25/08 |
| | INDICATED REVISION REQUIRED, THAT AN AIR ADMITTANCE |
| | VALVE WAS INSTALLED ON THE OUTSIDE BLOCK WALL INSTEAD |
| | OF A VENT THRU ROOF. THE SUBMITTED PLUMBING REVISION |
| | DOES NOT INDICATE AN AIR ADMITTANCE VALVE. THE REVISION |
| | INDICATES A VENT THRU WALL WHICH NEEDS TO HAVE THE |
| | FOLLOWING INDICATED ON THE PLANS BEFORE IT IS |
| | COMPLIANT. PER FBC- PLUMBING SECTION 904.6 EXTENSION |
| | THROUGH THE WALL. VENT TERMINALS EXTENDING THROUGH THE |
| | WALL SHALL TERMINATE A MINIMUM OF 10 FEET (3048 MM) |
| | FROM THE LOT LINE AND 10 FEET (3048 MM) ABOVE AVERAGE |
| | GROUND LEVEL. VENT TERMINALS SHALL NOT TERMINATE UNDER |
| | THE OVERHANG OF A STRUCTURE WITH SOFFIT VENTS. SIDE |
| | WALL VENT TERMINALS SHALL BE PROTECTED TO PREVENT BIRDS |
| | OR RODENTS FROM ENTERING OR BLOCKING THE VENT OPENING. |
| | NOTE: IF AN AIR ADMITTANCE VALVE IS BEING INSTALLED |
| | PLEASE INDICATE THAT THIS VALVE WILL BE PROTECTED FROM |
| | HARMFULL ULTRA-VIOLET (UV) SUN RAYS PER MANUFACTURER'S |
| | RECOMMENDATIONS. |
| | ALSO THE VENT CAN NOT BE INSTALLED WITHOUT A VERICAL |
| | RISE ABOVE THE FLOOD LEVEL RIM OF THE LAVATORY PER FBC- |
| | PLUMBING SECTION 905.4 VERTICAL RISE OF VENT. EVERY DRY |
| | VENT SHALL RISE VERTICALLY TO A MINIMUM OF 6 INCHES |
| | (152 MM) ABOVE THE FLOOD LEVEL RIM OF THE HIGHEST TRAP |
| | OR TRAPPED FIXTURE BEING VENTED. THE SUBMITTED REVISION |
| | ON THE PLANS DO NOT INDICATE THIS REQUIREMENT. THE |
| | SUBMITTED REVISION INDICATES A HORIZONTAL DRY VENT WITH |
| | NO VERTICAL RISE AS REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | ********IMPORTANT INFORMATION******** |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING PLANS, PLEASE PROVIDE A COPY OF THE |
| | OLD PLANS, CLEARLY INDICATE THE REVISION ON THE NEW |
| | PLANS, REMOVE AND 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. |
