| | COMMENTS. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF I CAN BE OF ANY |
| | ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THE FUEL GAS PLANS APPROVED. |
| | |
| | 1) FAILED. SHEET P5.1: BASED ON THE SIZING TABLE |
| | 402.4(2) LISTED ON THE PLAN, THE 3/4 IN. PIPE AT METER |
| | IS UNDERSIZED FOR THE 363.000 GAS LOAD AT 32 FT. TDL. |
| | THE TOTAL CONNECTED LOAD WITH THE WATER HEATER IS |
| | 562,000 BTUS. BASED ON THE LISTED PIPE SIZING TABLE ON |
| | THE PLAN (402.4(2)) THE 1-INCH MAIN GAS PIPE IS |
| | UNDERSIZED. PLEASE CLARIFY IF THIS IS A LOW PRESSURE |
| | SYSTEM PER THE SELECTED PIPE SIZING TABLE OR POSSIBLY A |
| | 2 PSI SYSTEM WHICH WOULD ONLY REQUIRE A MINIMUM ?-INCH |
| | MAIN PIPE FOR THE TOTAL LOAD AT 32-FT. TDL- SEE TABLE |
| | 402.4(5). |
| | |
| | 2) PASSED. P5.1: SHOW THE LOCATION OF AUTO GAS VALVE- |
| | SECTION 10.4.1 NFPA 96. |
| | |
| | 3) FAILED P5.1: PROVIDE COMBUSTION AIR CALCULATIONS FOR |
| | THE COOKING APPLIANCES - SECTION 304.1 FBC FG. THE NEW |
| | CALCULATIONS ARE USING THE EQUATION FOUND IN SECTION |
| | 304.5.2 FBC FG WHICH CAN ONLY BE USED WHEN THERE IS A |
| | KNOWN AIR INFILTRATION RATE LESS THAN .40 AIR CHANGES |
| | PER HOUR (ACH). THE CALCULATIONS PROVIDED ARE USING AN |
| | ACH OF 17.6. THE CALCULATION IS ALSO USING 2535 CFMS OF |
| | O/A AS THE BASIS OF THE ACH, HOWEVER THE AIR IS BEING |
| | SUPPLIED MECHANICALLY AS OPPOSED TO INFILTRATION. IF |
| | USING MECHANICAL AIR PLEASE REFER TO SECTION 304.9 AND |
| | PROVIDE THE CALCULATION. PLEASE REVIEW SECTION 304.5.1 |
| | BELOW: |
| | THE REQUIRED VOLUME OF INDOOR AIR SHALL BE DETERMINED |
| | IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 304.5.1 OR 304.5.2, EXCEPT |
| | THAT WHERE THE AIR INFILTRATION RATE IS KNOWN TO BE |
| | LESS THAN 0.40 AIR CHANGES PER HOUR (ACH), SECTION |
| | 304.5.2 SHALL BE USED. THE TOTAL REQUIRED VOLUME SHALL |
| | BE THE SUM OF THE REQUIRED VOLUME CALCULATED FOR ALL |
| | APPLIANCES LOCATED WITHIN THE SPACE. ROOMS |
| | COMMUNICATING DIRECTLY WITH THE SPACE IN WHICH THE |
| | APPLIANCES ARE INSTALLED THROUGH OPENINGS NOT FURNISHED |
| | WITH DOORS, AND THROUGH COMBUSTION AIR OPENINGS SIZED |
| | AND LOCATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 304.5.3, ARE |
| | CONSIDERED TO BE PART OF THE REQUIRED VOLUME. |
| | |
| | 4) PASSED- DEFERRED SUBMITTAL. SUBMIT MANUFACTURER'S |
| | SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE COOKING APPLIANCES AND THE WATER |
| | HEATER- SECTIONS 623.1 & 624.1 FBC FG. |
| | |
| | 5) PASSED- DEFERRED SUBMITTAL. P0.1: PROVIDE THE |
| | MANUFACTURER OF THE GAS WATER HEATER IN THE FIXTURE |
| | SCHEDULE- SECTION 624.1 FBC FG. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
