| | DATE:FRIDAY APRIL 02/ 2014 |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1-2) COMPLIED. SHEET S7 INDICATES THE OCCUPANCY AS A F1 |
| | LIGHT AUTO REPAIR/ USED TIRE SALE, PLEASE REVIEW 2010 |
| | FBC-B 406.6 REPAIR GARAGES ARE SPECIAL OCCUPANCIES |
| | LISTED AS A S2. |
| | |
| | 3) 2ND REQUEST. THE SANITARY PLANS ARE DRAWN USING A |
| | WET VENT SYSTEM. WATER CLOSETS, AND SERVICE SINKS DO |
| | NOT HAVE VENTS. SEE 2010 FBC-PLUMBING |
| | 907.1 INDIVIDUAL VENT PERMITTED. |
| | EACH TRAP AND TRAPPED FIXTURE IS PERMITTED TO BE |
| | PROVIDED WITH AN INDIVIDUAL VENT. THE INDIVIDUAL VENT |
| | SHALL CONNECT TO THE FIXTURE DRAIN OF THE TRAP OR |
| | TRAPPED FIXTURE BEING VENTED. |
| | 908.1 INDIVIDUAL VENT AS COMMON VENT. |
| | AN INDIVIDUAL VENT IS PERMITTED TO VENT TWO TRAPS OR |
| | TRAPPED FIXTURES AS A COMMON VENT. THE TRAPS OR TRAPPED |
| | FIXTURES BEING COMMON VENTED SHALL BE LOCATED ON THE |
| | SAME FLOOR LEVEL. |
| | |
| | 908.2 CONNECTION AT THE SAME LEVEL. |
| | WHERE THE FIXTURE DRAINS BEING COMMON VENTED CONNECT AT |
| | THE SAME LEVEL, THE VENT CONNECTION SHALL BE AT THE |
| | INTERCONNECTION OF THE FIXTURE DRAINS OR DOWNSTREAM OF |
| | THE INTERCONNECTION. |
| | |
| | 908.3 CONNECTION AT DIFFERENT LEVELS. |
| | WHERE THE FIXTURE DRAINS CONNECT AT DIFFERENT LEVELS, |
| | THE VENT SHALL CONNECT AS A VERTICAL EXTENSION OF THE |
| | VERTICAL DRAIN. THE VERTICAL DRAIN PIPE CONNECTING THE |
| | TWO FIXTURE DRAINS SHALL BE CONSIDERED THE VENT FOR THE |
| | LOWER FIXTURE DRAIN, AND SHALL BE SIZED IN ACCORDANCE |
| | WITH TABLE 908.3. THE UPPER FIXTURE SHALL NOT BE A |
| | WATER CLOSET. |
| | FLORIDA BUILDING CODE INFORMAL INTERPRETATION: |
| | DATE: WED DEC 17 2003 |
| | REPORT #: 2241 |
| | CODE: PLUMBING |
| | SECTION: 909.1 |
| | QUESTION: |
| | IS IT THE INTENT OF SECTION 909.1 WET VENTING TO |
| | EXCLUDE URINALS AS A FIXTURE TO BE ALLOW AS PART OF A |
| | WET |
| | VENTED SYSTEM? |
| | ANSWER: |
| | NO. WET VENTING RELIES ON LOW FLOW VELOCITY, LOW FLOW |
| | RATES, AND LOW PROBABILITY OF SIMULTANEOUS |
| | DISCHARGE. FOR THAT REASON, WET VENTING IS LIMITED TO |
| | TWO BATHROOM GROUPS, LOCATED ON THE SAME FLOOR LEVEL. |
| | ALTHOUGH A BATHROOM GROUP BY DEFINITION DOES NOT |
| | INCLUDE URINALS, URINALS MAY BE REGARDED AS SIMILAR IN |
| | FUNCTION TO WATER CLOSETS (SEE 419.2), AND THEY PLACE |
| | LESS RELATIVE LOAD ON THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM. URINALS, AS |
| | WELL AS EMERGENCY FLOOR DRAINS AND DRINKING FOUNTAINS, |
| | MAY BE INCLUDED IN A WET VENT SYSTEM, WITHIN THE |
| | LIMITS OF TABLE 909.3. PLEASE NOTE! 12/17/2003-UPON |
| | CHALLENGE AND FURTHER REVIEW |
| | THIS INTERPRETATION IS MODIFIED AS FOLLOWS: 1) THE CODE |
| | PERMITS WET VENTING OF BATHROOM |
| | GROUPS, 2) THE DEFINITION OF A BATHROOM GROUP DOES NOT |
| | SPECIFICALLY INCLUDE A URINAL, THEREFORE 3) A URINAL |
| | MAY NOT BE A PART OF A WET VENT SYSTEM. |
| | COMMENTARY: |
| | KITCHEN SINKS, WASHING MACHINES AND SIMILAR HIGHER |
| | VOLUME FIXTURES WOULD NOT BE PERMITTED ON A WET VENT |
| | SYSTEM, AND WOULD HAVE TO DISCHARGE DOWNSTREAM OF THE |
| | WET VENT. 12/17/2003-COMMENTARY |
| | MODIFICATION: PROPERLY SIZED WET VENTING RESULTS IN |
| | ADEQUATE AIRFLOW IN THE WET-VENTED PIPE TO |
| | PREVENT THE FIXTURES FROM BEING SUBJECT TO SIPHONAGE OR |
| | BACKPRESSURE (PLUS OR MINUS 1-INCH OF WATER |
| | COLUMN). THE ORIGINAL INTERPRETATION MET THE INTENT, IF |
| | NOT THE LETTER, OF THE CODE SINCE URINALS HAVE, FOR A |
| | NUMBER OF YEARS NOW, BEEN LIMITED TO 1 GALLON PER |
| | FLUSHING CYCLE. AS LONG AS THE WET VENT IS LIMITED TO |
| | TWO |
| | BATHROOM GROUPS, THERE IS PROBABLY NO FIELD |
| | CONFIGURATION CONTAINING A URINAL THAT WOULD POSE A |
| | PROBLEM |
| | BUT STRICT APPLICATION OF THE CODE WILL NOT ALLOW IT. |
| | |
| | 4) COMPLIED. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING PLANS PLEASE INDICATE THE REVISION & |
| | 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 THE CHANGES CAN BE |
| | FOUND WILL HELP TO EXPEDITE YOUR PERMIT. THANK YOU FOR |
| | YOUR ANTICIPATED COOPERATION. |
