| | |
| | 1) THE SELECTED RHEEM RTEX-24 IS UNDERSIZED FOR THE |
| | REQUIRED HOT WATER GPM FLOW TO THE FIXTURES. THE |
| | MANUFACTURER'S TEMPERATURE RISE CHART AND INSTALLATION |
| | MANUAL FOR THE SELECTED RHEEM RTEX-24 SHOWS A MAX 5.0 |
| | GPM FLOW AT A 33-DEGREE F TEMPERATURE RISE FROM THE |
| | COLD INLET TEMPERATURE TO HOT WATER OUTLET TEMPERATURE. |
| | PLEASE NOTE THAT RHEEM MANUFACTURER USES A 70 DEGREE |
| | COLD WATER TEMPERATURE FOR OUR REGION, AND HOT WATER AT |
| | A TEMPERATURE OF 110 DEGREES F SHALL BE PROVIDED TO THE |
| | FIXTURES WHERE REQUIRED- SECTION P2801.1 FBC RES. IT |
| | APPEARS BY THE SPECS THAT THE RTEX-27 CAN SUPPLY MAX |
| | 5.0 GPM AT A 37-DEGREE TEMP. RISE, AND THE RTEX-36 CAN |
| | SUPPLY MAX 6.0 GPM AT A TEMP. RISE OF 41 DEGREES. BASED |
| | ON THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECS, IN ORDER TO SUPPLY A |
| | MINIMUM OF 6.0 GPM HOT WATER FLOW, IT APPEARS THE |
| | RTEX-36 WOULD BE THE CODE COMPLIANT CHOICE. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. |
