| | PLAN REVIEW RESULTS: DENIED. |
| | |
| | 1) DOMESTIC DRYER EXHAUST DUCT POWER VENTILATORS SHALL |
| | BE LISTED AND LABELED TO UL 705 FOR USE IN DRYER |
| | EXHAUST DUCT SYSTEMS. THE DRYER EXHAUST DUCT POWER |
| | VENTILATOR SHALL BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE |
| | MANUFACTURER?S INSTRUCTIONS. FBC M 504.5 |
| | |
| | 2) PLEASE PROVIDE A LETTER FROM THE DRYER MANUFACTURER |
| | STATING THAT THE X VENT DRYER EXHAUST TERMINATION IS |
| | ALLOWED WITH THEIR DRYER. FBC M 504.1 THE X VENT IS |
| | UNIQUE IN THE FACT THAT IT USES BOTH THE BACK-DRAFT |
| | DAMPER AND THE LOUVER. THE INSTALLATION MANUAL DOES NOT |
| | ADDRESS THIS KIND OF INSTALLATION. WITH THE X VENT |
| | SYSTEM THE BOX OF THE X VENT IS MOUNTED INTO THE |
| | EXTERIOR OF THE WALL AND THE LOUVER IS FLUSH TO THE |
| | EXTERIOR WALL. THE EXHAUST OF THE DRYER MUST TRAVEL |
| | THROUGH THE EXHAUST DUCT, OPEN THE BACK-DRAFT DAMPER |
| | AND TRAVEL THROUGH THE X VENT COVER (LOUVER) BEFORE IT |
| | IS EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTDOORS. BECAUSE THIS PRODUCT USES |
| | BOTH THE BACK-DRAFT DAMPER AND THE OUTER COVER OF THE |
| | BOX (LOUVER) INSTEAD OF EITHER THE BACK-DRAFT DAMPER OR |
| | THE LOUVER THE DRYER MANUFACTURER MUST ADDRESS THE |
| | ASSEMBLY. WE MUST HAVE AN APPROVAL LETTER FROM THE |
| | SPECIFIC DRYER MANUFACTURER FOR THE SPECIFIC DRYER USED |
| | IN THIS PROJECT. FBC M 504.8.4.2 |
| | |
| | 3) PLEASE PROVIDE SPECIFICATIONS THAT SHOW THE LOUVER |
| | SIZE MEETS FBC M 501.3.2. ?OPENINGS IN LOUVERS SHALL BE |
| | SIZED NOT LESS THAN ?? AND NOT LARGER THAN ??. |
| | |
| | 4) IS THE BIRD SCREEN ADDITION AT THE BACK DRAFT DAMPER |
| | FOR THE BATH EXHAUST A FACTORY ADDITION TO THE XVENT? |
| | IF NOT PLEASE PROVIDE A DETAIL DRAWING SHOWING HOW THIS |
| | IS INSTALLED AND DOES NOT RESTRICT THE BACK DRAFT |
| | DAMPER OPERATION. FBC M 501.3.2 |
| | |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. ADDITIONALLY, PLEASE INSERT |
| | CORRECTED PLAN SHEETS INTO THE SETS, REMOVE THE OLD |
| | SHEETS FROM THE PLAN SETS, BIND THEM TOGETHER |
| | SEPARATELY AND MARK VOID OR OLD ON THEM. PLEASE RETAIN |
| | THEM FOR REFERENCE WITH THE NEW SUBMITTED PLANS. THIS |
| | PROCESS WILL ALSO APPLY TO ANY DOCUMENTS SUCH AS |
| | PRODUCT APPROVALS OR CALCULATIONS BEING REPLACED OR |
| | UPDATED. |
