| | PLAN REVIEW RESULTS: DENIED. |
| | |
| | 1) PLEASE PROVIDE A LETTER FROM THE DRYER MANUFACTURER |
| | STATING THAT THE X VENT DRYER EXHAUST TERMINATION IS |
| | ALLOWED WITH THEIR DRYER. 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 |
| | |
| | 2) 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 ??. |
| | |
| | 3) PLEASE PROVIDE THE SPECIFICATIONS SHOWING THE XVENT |
| | LOUVER COMPLIES WITH AMCA 550. |
| | |
| | 4) PLEASE PROVIDE SPECIFICATION SHEETS FOR THE X VENT |
| | AIR INTAKE TERMINATION. FBC 107.2 |
| | |
| | 5) PLEASE PROVIDE NATURAL VENTILATION CALCULATIONS. FBC |
| | M 402 |
| | |
| | |
| | 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. |
