| | |
| | 1. SHEET P1.1A PLAN KEYED NOTES DESCRIPTION #9 NEW EW: |
| | THE REFERENCE STANDARD FOR THE MIXING VALVE ANSI Z358.1 |
| | DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE FBC-2004 PLUMBING. PLEASE KNOW |
| | THAT TEMPERATURE-ACTUATED MIXING VALVES, WHICH ARE |
| | INSTALLED TO REDUCE WATER TEMPERATURE TO DEFINED |
| | LIMITS, SHALL COMPLY WITH ASSE 1017. PER FBC-2004 |
| | PLUMBING SECTION 613.1 TEMPERATURE-ACTUATED MIXING |
| | VALVES. |
| | |
| | **RESPONSE NOTED, HOWEVER THE MIXING VALVE IN QUESTION |
| | IS FOR THE EYEWASH. THE REFERENCE STANDARD ANSI Z358.1 |
| | FOR THE EYEWASH MIXING VALVE DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE |
| | FBC-2004 PLUMBING. THE CORRECT STANDARD IS ASSE 1017. |
| | PER FBC-2004 PLUMBING SECTION 613.1, |
| | TEMPERATURE-ACTUATED MIXING VALVES. |
| | |
| | 2. SHEET P1.1B WATER HEATER DETAIL #1:A MEANS OF |

| | EXPANSION SHALL BE PROVIDED WHERE REQUIRED IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH SECTIONS 607.3.1 AND 607.3.2 . |
| | |
| | 607.3.1 PRESSURE-REDUCING VALVE. |
| | FOR WATER SERVICE SYSTEM SIZES UP TO AND INCLUDING 2 |
| | INCHES (51 MM), A DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING PRESSURE SHALL |
| | BE INSTALLED WHERE, BECAUSE OF THERMAL EXPANSION, THE |
| | PRESSURE ON THE DOWNSTREAM SIDE OF A PRESSURE-REDUCING |
| | VALVE EXCEEDS THE PRESSURE-REDUCING VALVE SETTING. |
| | |
| | 607.3.2 BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE OR CHECK VALVE. |
| | WHERE A BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE, CHECK VALVE OR |
| | OTHER DEVICE IS INSTALLED ON A WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM |
| | UTILIZING STORAGE WATER HEATING EQUIPMENT SUCH THAT |
| | THERMAL EXPANSION CAUSES AN INCREASE IN PRESSURE, A |
| | DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING PRESSURE SHALL BE INSTALLED. |
| | |
| | **RESPONE NOTED, HOWEVER THE RESUBMITTED DETAIL IS |
| | INDICATING THE EXPANSION TANK IN THE WRONG PLACE. THE |
| | EXPANSION TANK SHOULD BE LOCATED DOWNSTREAM OF THE |
| | WATTS 200 SERIES PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE. THE |
| | RESUBMITTED DETAIL IS INDICATING THE EXPANSION TANK |
| | UPSTREAM OF THE PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE. PLEASE |
| | CORRECT THIS PER FBC-2004 PLUMBING SECTION 607.3.1. |
| | |
