| | PLAN REVIEW RESULTS: DENIED. |
| | |
| | 1) GAS ISOMETRIC DRAWING: |
| | A) PROVIDE THE TOTAL DEVELOPED LENGTH OF THE SYSTEM, |
| | AND THE LENGTHS OF THE BRANCHES TO THE INTERIOR AND THE |
| | POOL HEATER- SECTIONS G2413.4.1 AND G2413.4.2 FBC RES. |
| | B) INDICATE THE TOTAL LOAD OF THE SYSTEM- 1,126,000 |
| | BTUH PER SECTION G2413.2 |
| | C) PIPE SIZING TABLE 402.4(3) SHOWN ON THE RISER HAS AN |
| | INITIAL SUPPLY PRESSURE OF 8.0 IN. WC. AND A PRESSURE |
| | DROP OF 3.0 IN. WC. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE INCORRECT |
| | SIZING TABLE BECAUSE COMMON RESIDENTIAL LOW PRESSURE |
| | PIPING SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED AT A PRESSURE AROUND 7 IN. |
| | WC. AND A PRESSURE DROP OF 0.5 IN. WC. THE PIPING MUST |
| | BE SIZED SUFFICIENTLY ENOUGH SO THAT THE PRESSURE DROP |
| | IS A HALF AN INCH OF WATER COLUMN OR LESS, WHEN ALL THE |
| | GAS APPLIANCES ARE ON. THE CALCULATED DROPPED PRESSURE |
| | (THE STATIC PRESSURE MINUS THE 3.0 IN. PRESSURE DROP), |
| | MUST BE GREATER THAN THE HIGHEST MINIMUM GAS PRESSURE |
| | REQUIRED BY ANY OF THE GAS APPLIANCES ON THE SYSTEM. |
| | PLEASE REFER TO TABLES G2413.4(1)- G2413.4(8) FBC RES. |
| | TABLE G2413.4(1) IS THE TYPICAL LOW PRESSURE SIZING |
| | TABLE USED. THE RELATIVE TABLE IN THE FBC FG IS |
| | {402.4(2). USING THIS TABLE THE 1 IN. SCHEDULE 40 |
| | METALLIC PIPES SHOWN DOWNSTREAM OF THE REGULATOR AND |
| | METER, AT A MINIMUM SHALL BE SIZED AT 1-1/2 INCHES FOR |
| | THE TOTAL 1,126,000 BTUH LOAD. PLEASE NOTE THE 1-1/2 |
| | IN. PIPE WILL MAX OUT FOR THE SYSTEM AT A TOTAL |
| | DEVELOPED LENGTH OF 30 FT. A SECOND OPTION WOULD BE TO |
| | INSTALL A 2.0 PSI REGULATOR AT THE METER IF POSSIBLE |
| | AND LOW PRESSURE REGULATORS FOR THE BRANCHES AND |
| | APPLIANCES. |
| | D) PROVIDE THE MAKE AND MODEL OF THE SELECTED REGULATOR |
| | ON THE RISER, AND MARK UP OR HIGHLIGHT THE SPEC SHEETS |
| | TO SHOW THE MODEL, INLET AND OUTLET PRESSURES, SPRING |
| | SELECTION, AND ORIFICE SIZE- SECTION G2421.1 & G2421.2. |
| | E) SUBMIT MANUFACTURER'S SPECS FOR THE GENERATOR FLEX |
| | CONNECTOR THAT INDICATE MANUFACTURER AND MODEL, LISTING |
| | STANDARDS, AND INSTALLATION GUIDELINES- SECTION |
| | G2415.1. |
| | |
| | 2) SURVEY: CORRECT THE 5 FT. CLEARANCE TO WINDOW AND |
| | DOOR OPENINGS PER SECTION R303.5.1 FBC RES. A MINIMUM |
| | 10 FT. CLEARANCE IS REQUIRED. VERIFY THE ADJACENT HOUSE |
| | WALL IS NON-COMBUSTIBLE AND HAS A 1-HR. FIRE-RESISTANCE |
| | RATING, OTHERWISE A 5 FT. CLEARANCE IS REQUIRED PER |
| | SEC. 4.1.4 NFPA 37. PROVIDE THE CLEARANCE DISTANCE TO |
| | THE ADJACENT PROPERTY LINE- IT IS INDICATED AS 8.5 FT. |
| | FROM THE STRUCTURE- SECTION 107.2.1 WPB. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. |
