| 2018-06-03 03:53:20 | 1) SUBMIT THE ADDITIONAL SHEETS FOR THE MANUFACTURER'S |
| | SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE TANKLESS WATER HEATERS. THERE |
| | ARE A TOTAL OF 2 OR 3 SHHETS. THE SPECIFICATIONS MUST |
| | SHOW THE WATER HEATER IS LISTED AND LABELED PER THE |
| | 2014 FBC-FUEL GAS SEC. 301.3.TWO COPIES OF THE |
| | SPECIFICATIONS ARE REQUIRED PER WPB AMEND. TO FBC SEC. |
| | 107.2.1. |
| | 2) MEANS SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR THERMAL EXPANSION FOR |
| | THE HOT WATER SYSTEM SINCE THESE TANKLESS WATER HEATERS |
| | ARE EQUIPPED WITH A BUFFER TANK AND A RECIRCULATION |
| | PUMP. 2014 FBC-PLUMBING SEC.607.3. |
| | 3) THE ENTIRE RECIRCULATING LINE SHALL BE INSULATED |
| | WITH MINIMUM 1 INCH INSULATION INCLUDING THE FIRST 8 |
| | FEET OF ALL BRANCH LINES PER 2014 FBC-PLUMBING SEC. |
| | 607.5 , 2014 ENERGY CODE SEC. C404.5. |
| | 4) SHT. P1.0 - SHOW THE LOCATION OF THE GAS METER ON |
| | THE PLAN. WPB AMEND. TO FBC SEC. 107.2.1. |
| | 5) SHOW THE LOCATION OF THE MP REGULATOR FOR THE |
| | GENERATOR.WPB AMEND. TO FBC SEC. 107.2.1. |
| | 6) SHOW THE SIZE OF THE HORIZONTAL GAS PIPNG TO THE |
| | DRYERS. |
| | 7) SUBMIT MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE FLEX |
| | CONNECTOR FOR THE GENERATOR. THE FLEX CONNECTOR SHALL |
| | BE APPROVED TO FLOW THE MAXIMUM BTU LOAD FOR THE |
| | GENERATOR. 2017 FBCR SEC. 411.1.3.2.THE CONNECTOR SHALL |
| | HAVE THE CAPACITY FOR THE TOTAL DEMAND OF THE CONNECTED |
| | APPLIANCE 2014 FBC-FUEL GAS SEC. 411.1.3.2. |
| | 8) SHT. P4.2 - THE GAS SYSTEM SIZING AT THE METER IS |
| | STILL OVERSIZED. YOU SHOW THE SYSTEM AS BEING 2 PSI |
| | FROM THE GAS PURVEYOR ON SHT. P3.0 AND ALSO NOTE THIS |
| | ON SHT.P4.2. YOU SHOW AN MP REGULATOR ON THE GAS MAIN |
| | DOWNSSTREAM OF THE GAS METER AND SHUTOFF VALVE. WHAT IS |
| | THE PRESSURE ON THE SYSTEM DOWNSTREAM OF THIS |
| | REGULATOR? IF INDEED IT IS LESS THAN 2 PSI AT THIS |
| | POINT THEN ALL YOUR PE IS UNDERSIZED. THE PE PIPE WOULD |
| | HAVE TO BE OVER 4 INCHES IN DIAMETER TO HANDLE THE |
| | TOTAL BTU LOAD AT 250 FEET IN LENGTH. SECONDLY, IT IS |
| | NOT EVEN POSSIBLE TO SUPPLY A 2 INCH PE LINE FROM A 5 |
| | INCH LINE AT THE SAME LOW PRESSURE.THE PLAN SHOWS MP |
| | REGULATORS SUPPLYING THE GAS EQUIPMENT/APPLIANCES. IF |
| | THE SYSTEM IS LESS THAN 2 PSI IN THE STRUCTURE, WHY THE |
| | NEED FOR THE REGULATORS? REMOVE THE REGULATOR |
| | DOWNSTREAM OF THE METER AND THE SIZE OF THE SCH. 40 |
| | METALLIC PIPE FOR A 2 PSI SYSTEM DOWNSTREAM OF THE GAS |
| | METER CAN BE 2 INCH BASED ON 2014 FBC-FUEL GAS TABLE |
| | 402.4 (5). AS DESIGNED, THE SYSTEM IS CONFUSING AND |
| | DOES NOT CCOMPLY WITH THE GAS CODE. |
| | |
| | NOTE: I SUGGEST CONTACTING THIS PLAN REVIEWER TO |
| | DISCUSS THE SIZING OF THE GAS SYSTEM. |
