| | PLAN REVIEW RESULTS: DENIED. |
| | |
| | SHEET M3.2: THERE APPEAR TO BE CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE |
| | PROBAT AND NORDFAB SPECIFICATIONS. THE PROBAT VENTING |
| | RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE NEW PLAN SHEET IDENTIFY THE |
| | ROASTERS AS CLASS III APPLIANCES WITH POSITIVE PRESSURE |
| | VENTING. PLEASE CLARIFY IF CLASS III IS INTENDED TO |
| | MEAN CATEGORY III AS DEFINED IN THE SECTION 202 FBC FG. |
| | PROBAT RECOMMENDS: |
| | |
| | A) POSITIVE PRESSURE VENT SYSTEM. (THE VENT DIAGRAM |
| | DOES INDICATE "POSITIVE PRESSURE" USING EXHAUST FANS AT |
| | THE APPLIANCES). |
| | B) TYPE G DUCTWORK WITH THE TEMPERATURE NOT TO EXCEED |
| | 450 DEGREES F IN THE DUCTWORK. |
| | C) THE SINGLE OR DOUBLE DUCT SHOULD GO "STRAIGHT OUT" |
| | THE WALL. |
| | D) DUCT JOINTS SHALL BE SEALED. |
| | |
| | CHECKING DUCT COMPATIBILITY FOR ITEMS A, B, C, & D, THE |
| | NORDFAB SPECS INDICATE: |
| | A) USED UNDER VARIOUS "NEGATIVE STATIC PRESSURES" |
| | B) NOT IDENTIFIED AS TYPE G, AND COMPLETE PROBAT SPECS |
| | HAVE NOT BEEN SUBMITTED SO OPERATING EQUIPMENT AND DUCT |
| | TEMPERATURES ARE NOT KNOWN. |
| | C) THE VENT DIAGRAM INDICATES INDIVIDUAL EXHAUST RISERS |
| | CONNECTING TO A LARGE HORIZONTAL MAIN DUCT WHICH IS |
| | TRAVELING THROUGH OTHER AREAS WHICH DOES NOT APPEAR TO |
| | MEET THE "STRAIGHT OUT" REQUIREMENT. |
| | D) THE DUCT AND JOINTS WILL LEAK WHEN SEALED, AND |
| | LEAKAGE RATES HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED UNDER "NEGATIVE" |
| | PRESSURES TESTING ONLY. |
| | |
| | BASED ON THE URGENCY EXPRESSED TO ME IN EMAILS FROM THE |
| | OWNER, PROMPT RESPONSES TO THE ABOVE ISSUES WOULD BE |
| | VERY HELPFUL. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. |
