| | 2ND REVIEW: 19081206 |
| | PLUMBING COMMENTS: DENIED |
| | NOTE: A REVIEW OF MINIMUM PLUMBING FIXTURE REQUIREMENTS |
| | AS REQUIRED BY FBC ACC IS PART OF THE PLUMBING REVIEW |
| | PROCESS BUT IS TYPICALLY ADDRESSED ON THE ARCHITECTURAL |
| | PLANS. ANY COMMENTS CONCERNING THESE REQUIREMENTS MUST |
| | BE SATISFACTORILY ADDRESSED PRIOR TO A PLUMBING REVIEW |
| | APPROVAL. |
| | 1. RE: PLAN SHEET A-1; NOTE AT INFUSION ROOM, EXAM ROOM |
| | #1 AND BREAK ROOM SINK LOCATIONS READS ADA 36 " H |
| | COUNTER. TO BE CLEAR, PER FBC ACC 606.3 STATES THAT |
| | LAVATORIES AND SINKS SHALL BE INSTALLED WITH THE FRONT |
| | OF THE HIGHER OF THE RIM OR COUNTER SURFACE 34 INCHES |
| | (865 MM) MAXIMUM ABOVE THE FINISH FLOOR OR GROUND. PER |
| | WPB FBC 107.2.1, REMOVE THE NOTE AT THE THREE SINKS AND |
| | PROVIDE A NOTE REFLECTING THE REQUIREMENTS OF 606.3, |
| | REFERENCING THE THREE SINKS. ADDITIONALLY, THE EXISTING |
| | ADDED NOTE PERTAINING TO THE THREE SINKS AND FBC ACC |
| | SECTIONS HAS AN APPARENT TYPO; 21202 SHOULD BE 212.2. |
| | PLEASE CORRECT. |
| | 2. RE: PLAN SHEET A-2, DETAILS 6 AND 7; REGARDING THE |
| | SHOWER, |
| | A. THE LAYOUT AS SHOWN DOES NOT FIT THE |
| | NARRATIVE/REQUIREMENTS OF FBC ACC SECTION 608; IT IS |
| | SUGGESTED THAT THE DESIGNERS MEET WITH THE BUILDING |
| | DEPARTMENT TO CONFIRM AN ACCEPTABLE DESIGN THAT WOULD |
| | PROVIDE COMPLIANCE. PLEASE SEE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS |
| | BELOW. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COMMENTS ARE OBSERVATIONS |
| | AND SHALL NOT BE TAKEN AS CORRECTIONS THAT IF MADE |
| | WOULD LEAD TO A SATISFACTORY REVIEW FOR COMPLIANCE. IT |
| | IS THE DESIGNER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE A COMPLIANT |
| | DESIGN FOR THE SHOWER. |
| | B. PER FBC ACC 609.4, GRAB BARS SHALL BE INSTALLED IN A |
| | HORIZONTAL POSITION, 33 INCHES (840 MM) MINIMUM AND 36 |
| | INCHES (915 MM) MAXIMUM ABOVE THE FINISH FLOOR MEASURED |
| | TO THE TOP OF THE GRIPPING SURFACE. |
| | C. IT IS NOTED THAT THE SIDE WALL OF THE WATER CLOSET |
| | WOULD BE THE BACK WALL OF THE SHOWER IF CONSIDERED A |
| | ROLL-IN SHOWER. THERE IS A MINIMUM SIXTY (60) INCH |
| | CLEAR SPACE REQUIRED FOR THE LENGTH OF THE SAID BACK |
| | WALL. PER FBC ACC 608.2.2.1, A 30 INCH (760 MM) WIDE |
| | MINIMUM BY 60 INCH (1525 MM) LONG MINIMUM CLEARANCE |
| | (CLEAR FLOOR SPACE) SHALL BE PROVIDED ADJACENT TO THE |
| | OPEN FACE OF THE SHOWER COMPARTMENT. |
| | D. A CONTINUOUS GRAB BAR ON THE SAID BACK WALL SHALL BE |
| | A MAXIMUM OF 6 INCHES FROM THE TWO SIDE WALLS, AS |
| | PERTAINS TO THE SHOWER. |
| | E. GRAB BARS ON THE SAID SIDE WALLS SHALL BE A MAXIMUM |
| | OF 6 INCHES FROM THE SAID BACK WALL, AS PERTAINS TO THE |
| | SHOWER. |
| | F. THE ISSUE HERE IS THE WATER CLOSET AT THE FAR END OF |
| | THE SHOWER SPACE. THE SPACE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF FBC ACC 608.2.1 IS SUPPOSED TO BE CLEAR |
| | FROM SIDE WALL TO SIDE WALL OR IT MAY HAVE A SEAT ON A |
| | SIDE WALL. IF, THE THOUGHT IS THAT IT COULD DOUBLE AS A |
| | SEAT, THEN IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SHOWN TO MEET THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF FBC ACC 610.3, 610.3.1, 610.3.2.1 AND |
| | 610.4. NOTE IT SHALL BE ADJACENT TO THE SHOWER |
| | CONTROLS. |
| | 3. RE: PLAN SHEET A-2, DETAIL 1. PER WPB FBC 107.2.1, |
| | WATER CLOSET SPACE SHALL COMPLY WITH FBC 2017, NOT |
| | 2010, 604.3.1 ACCESSIBILITY. |
| | 4. RE: PLAN SHEET A-2, DETAILS 2 AND 3; PER FBC ACC |
| | 609.4, GRAB BARS SHALL BE INSTALLED IN A HORIZONTAL |
| | POSITION, 33 INCHES (840 MM) MINIMUM AND 36 INCHES (915 |
| | MM) MAXIMUM ABOVE THE FINISH FLOOR MEASURED TO THE TOP |
| | OF THE GRIPPING SURFACE, NOT TO THE CENTER. THIS IS A |
| | SECOND REQUEST. |
| | 5. RE: PLAN SHEET A-2, DETAIL 4; PER FBC ACC 606.3, THE |
| | DRAWING ON THE RIGHT OF THE LAVATORY HAS A DIMENSION OF |
| | 34 INCHES MINIMUM TO THE LIP OF THE LAVATORY; IT SHALL |
| | BE A MAXIMUM OF 34". |
| | 6. RE: PLAN SHEET A-2, DETAIL 6 AND 7; PER FBC ACC |
| | 604.7, TOILET PAPER DISPENSERS SHALL COMPLY WITH 309.4 |
| | AND SHALL BE 7 INCHES (180 MM) MINIMUM AND 9 INCHES |
| | (230 MM) MAXIMUM IN FRONT OF THE WATER CLOSET MEASURED |
| | TO THE CENTERLINE OF THE DISPENSER. THE OUTLET OF THE |
| | DISPENSER SHALL BE 15 INCHES (380 MM) MINIMUM AND 48 |
| | INCHES (1220 MM) MAXIMUM ABOVE THE FINISH FLOOR AND |
| | SHALL NOT BE LOCATED BEHIND GRAB BARS. DISPENSERS SHALL |
| | NOT BE OF A TYPE THAT CONTROLS DELIVERY OR THAT DOES |
| | NOT ALLOW CONTINUOUS PAPER FLOW. |
| | 7. RE: PLAN SHEET A-2, DETAIL 8; PER WPB FBC 107.2.1, |
| | PROVIDE IN THE DETAIL HOW THE ENTIRE ROOM WILL BE |
| | SEALED TO COMPLY WITH FBC PL 417.5.2 SHOWER LINING; |
| | INCLUDE DETAIL FOR SEALING THE WATER CLOSET VERTICAL |
| | DRAIN PIPE THROUGH THE FLOOR, INTEGRATING IT WITH THE |
| | LINER. |
| | 8. RE: PLAN SHEET P-1, SANITARY ISOMETRIC; BATHROOM |
| | WITH 3" VENT THROUGH THE ROOF. EACH BATHROOM GROUP |
| | FIXTURE DRAIN SHALL CONNECT INDEPENDENTLY TO THE WET |
| | VENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBC PL 912.1. CONNECT WET VENT |
| | BETWEEN THE WATER CLOSET AND THE SHOWER TO COMPLY. |
| | 9. RE: PLAN SHEET P-1, SANITARY ISOMETRIC; BATHROOMS #1 |
| | AND #2. WATER CLOSETS ARE INTEGRALLY TRAPPED FIXTURES. |
| | PROVIDING A TRAP IN THE ROUGH DRAIN PIPING AS SHOWN ON |
| | THE ISOMETRIC CONSTITUTES A DOUBLE TRAP AND AS SUCH |
| | DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FBC PL909.1. |
| | PER FBC 107.2.1, ELIMINATE THE TRAP AND PROVIDE A |
| | VERTICAL WASTE PIPE EXTENDING FROM THE HORIZONTAL |
| | PIPING TO THE FLOOR FLANGE POINT OF CONNECTION. |
| | 10. RE: PLAN SHEET P-1, SANITARY ISOMETRIC; BATHROOMS |
| | #1 AND #2. SHOWER DRAINS IN BATHROOMS SHALL BE PROVIDED |
| | WITH TRAP SEAL PROTECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF FBC PL 1002.4.1. |
| | 11. RE: PLAN SHEET P-1, SANITARY ISOMETRIC; PER WPB FBC |
| | 107.2.1, NOTE THAT 3 INCH PIPE DOWN TO FIRST FLOOR |
| | SANITARY SHALL NOT DISCHARGE THROUGH A FIRST FLOOR VENT |
| | TO SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FBC PL |
| | CHAPTER 9. |
| | 12. RE: PLAN SHEET P-1, SANITARY ISOMETRIC; ALL SINKS. |
| | WASTE FOR SINKS SHALL RISE VERTICALLY TO A POINT ABOVE |
| | THE FLOOR BEFORE THE INDIVIDUAL FIXTURE DRAIN SHALL BE |
| | ALLOWED TO CONNECT TO IT TO INSURE COMPLIANCE WITH FBC |
| | PL 1002.1. THE FIXTURE DRAINS SHALL BE INDIVIDUALLY OR |
| | COMMON VENTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBC PL SECTIONS 910 |
| | AND 911. COMMON VENTS SHALL BE SIZED IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | FBC PL TABLE 911.3. |
