| | |
| | PLAN REVIEW RESULTS: DENIED. |
| | |
| | 1) GAS ISOMETRIC DRAWING: |
| | A) PROVIDE THE TOTAL DEVELOPED LENGTH OF THE SYSTEM, |
| | AND THE TOTAL LENGTH OF THE INTERIOR BRANCH- SECTIONS |
| | G2413.4.1 AND G2413.4.2 FBC RES. |
| | B) INDICATE THE TOTAL LOAD OF THE SYSTEM- 436,000 BTUH |
| | PER SECTION G2413.2. PLEASE NOTE THAT NEW GENERAC |
| | SPECIFICATIONS ARE RATING THE 22 KW GENERATOR AT |
| | 306,000 BTUH |
| | C) THE PIPE SIZING TABLE 402.4(3) FBC FG (COMMERCIAL |
| | CODE) 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 FOR THE SYSTEM |
| | 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. YOU HAVE LISTED AN OUTLET |
| | PRESSURE FOR THE RV61 REGULATOR AT 5"- 7" W.C. 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). |
| | THE TABLE INDICATES THE 1-1/4" PIPE TO THE GENERATOR IS |
| | ADEQUATELY SIZED HOWEVER THE ADDED LOAD OF THE |
| | GENERATOR TO THE SYSTEM MAY REQUIRE THE 3/4" UTILITY |
| | RISERS TO INCREASE IN SIZE. THIS CANNOT BE DETERMINED |
| | WITHOUT KNOWING THE TOTAL DEVELOPED LENGTH OF THE |
| | SYSTEM, THE ACTUAL DELIVERY PRESSURE AT THE METER, AND |
| | THE SI ZING TABLE USED FOR THE 3/4 RISERS- SEE COMMENT |
| | #1 ABOVE. CONCERNING THE INTERIOR BRANCH, CLARIFY IS |
| | THERE IS AN EXISTING LOW PRESSURE REGULATOR. |
| | D) VERIFY THE RV61 REGULATOR IS SUITABLE TO BE |
| | INSTALLED OUTDOORS, AND MARK UP THE SUBMITTED CHARTS TO |
| | SHOW THE PRESSURE DROP AND SPRING SELECTION- SECTIONS |
| | 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. CONNECTOR SPECS MAY BE A DEFERRED SUBMITTAL |
| | AND BE ONSITE AT TIME OF INSPECTION- SECTION 107.3.4.1 |
| | WPB. |
| | |
| | 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. |
