| | |
| | FBC 2004 CODE FAMILY W/ 2007 SUPPLEMENTS |
| | FBC CH.1 AS AMENDED BY THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH |
| | |
| | 1. PG LS-1: ACCORDING TO THE LIFE SAFETY SYMBOL LEGEND, |
| | THIS FLOOR PLAN SHOWS DUCT MOUNTED SMOKE DETECTORS |
| | THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING (INDICATED BY THE SMALL ?S? |
| | NEXT TO THE SMOKE DETECTOR SYMBOL). NO SUCH DETECTORS |
| | ARE SHOWN ON MECHANICAL FLOOR PLANS. PLEASE CLARIFY AND |
| | COORDINATE DRAWINGS, SHOWING COMPLIANCE WITH FBCM |
| | 606.3. |
| | NOTE: THIS COMMENT IS NOT INTENDED TO DETERMINE WHETHER |
| | OR NOT DUCT DETECTORS ARE REQUIRED. SEE FBCM 606.2 FOR |
| | REQUIREMENTS. |
| | |
| | 2. PAGE LS-1 USES SYMBOLS SUCH AS SR AND 1F TO LABEL |
| | SOME WALLS. THERE IS NO INDICATION ON THE SYMBOL LEGEND |
| | WHAT THESE SYMBOLS REPRESENT. IF IT IS ASSUMED THAT 1F |
| | INDICATES A 1-HOUR FIRE RESISTANT WALL, THIS CAN NOT BE |
| | CONFIRMED WITH ARCHITECTURAL FLOOR PLANS AS SOME OF THE |
| | WALLS WITH THE 1F DESIGNATION ARE NOT SHOWN TO BE FIRE |
| | RESISTANCE RATED ON ARCHITECTURAL FLOOR PLANS. EXAMPLE: |
| | THE WALLS OF CORRIDOR 205 ARE MARKED WITH THE 1F |
| | DESIGNATION BUT ARE SHOWN AS WALL TYPE P4. ACCORDING TO |
| | WALL SCHEDULE ON A-12 THIS WALL TYPE CARRIES NO RATING. |
| | AS A RESULT, THE APPROPRIATE REQUIRED PROTECTION OF |
| | DUCT PENETRATIONS AT WALL ASSEMBLIES CAN NOT BE |
| | DETERMINED. A THOROUGH REVIEW OF DUCT PLANS CAN NOT BE |
| | PERFORMED AT THIS TIME. |
