| | |
| | 1) IN REFERENCE TO YOUR RESPONSE TO COMMENT 1 OF THE |
| | 3RD CYCLE REVIEW: THE 2014 FBC M DOES NOT MENTION AN |
| | INLINE FAN EXCEPT TO SAY THEY SHALL HAVE A CLEAN OUT ON |
| | BOTH THE INLET AND OUTLET SIDES. THE INLINE FANS BEING |
| | IN A RATED ROOM IS ONLY REFERENCED IN THE 2020 FBCM. IF |
| | YOU ARE WANTING TO USE THE 2020 FBC M INSTEAD OF THE |
| | 2014 FBC M THAT THE ORIGINAL PROJECT WAS PERMITTED |
| | UNDER YOU WILL NEED TO APPLY THE 2020 FBC M TO THE |
| | ENTIRE DESIGN AND SUBMIT IT AS AN ALTERNATE MEANS AND |
| | METHOD TO OUR CBO FOR REVIEW. |
| | |
| | 2) IN REFERENCE TO YOUR RESPONSE TO COMMENTS 2 & 4 OF |
| | THE 3RD CYCLE REVIEW: AGAIN, THIS CODE SECTION IS NOT |
| | IN THE 2014 FBC M. SECTION 506.3.11.2 REQUIRES THE |
| | SURFACE OF THE DUCT SHALL BE CONTINUOUSLY COVERED ON |
| | ALL SIDES FROM THE POINT AT WHICH THE DUCT ORIGINATES |
| | TO THE OUTLET TERMINAL. THE SECOND PART OF THIS IS THE |
| | LOCATION OF THE FANS- 506.5.1.2 IN-LINE FAN LOCATION. |
| | WHERE ENCLOSED DUCT SYSTEMS ARE CONNECTED TO IN-LINE |
| | FANS NOT LOCATED OUTDOORS, THE FAN SHALL BE LOCATED IN |
| | A ROOM OR SPACE HAVING THE SAME FIRE-RESISTANCE RATING |
| | AS THE DUCT ENCLOSURE. ACCESS SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR |
| | SERVICING AND CLEANING OF FAN COMPONENTS. SUCH ROOMS OR |
| | SPACES SHALL BE VENTILATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FAN |
| | MANUFACTURER?S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. THESE ARE 2 |
| | SEPARATE SECTIONS, 506.3.11.2 TELLS US THAT THE FIELD |
| | APPLIED DUCT FIRE WRAP MUST BE CONTINUOUS FROM START TO |
| | FINISH ON THE GREASE DUCT ONLY. SECTION 506.5.1.2 TELLS |
| | US ? WHERE ENCLOSED DUCT SYSTEMS ARE CONNECTED TO |
| | IN-LINE FANS ( WHICH MEANS THE DUCT WRAP IS CONNECTED |
| | TO THE GREASE DUCT THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE IN-LINE |
| | FAN) THE FAN SHALL BE LOCATED IN A FIRE-RESISTANT RATED |
| | ROOM OR SPACE WITH THE SAME RATING AS THE FIELD APPLIED |
| | FIRE WRAP. SO THE FIRE WRAP MUST INCLUDE ALL OF THE |
| | GREASE DUCT. SECTION 506.3.11.2 IS ALLOWING THE FAN TO |
| | BE IN A RATED ROOM OR SPACE AND NOT HAVE TO BE WRAPPED |
| | ITSELF. |
| | |
| | |
| | 3) IN REFERENCE TO YOUR RESPONSE TO COMMENT 5 OF THE |
| | 3RD CYCLE REVIEW: PLEASE SUBMIT THIS REVISION OF THE |
| | AIR BALANCE SCHEDULE ONCE IT HAS BEEN ADJUSTED. FBC |
| | 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 4) IN REFERENCE TO YOUR RESPONSE TO COMMENT 6 OF THE |
| | 3RD CYCLE REVIEW: PLEASE SUBMIT THE DOCUMENTATION FOR |
| | THE MAKE-UP AIR REQUIREMENTS WHEN COMPLETED. FBC |
| | 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 5) PLEASE PROVIDE THE INLINE FANS SPECIFICATIONS AND |
| | INSTRUCTION MANUALS. FBC 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 6) SHEET AFS-12: PLEASE SHOW HOW THE TERMINATION DESIGN |
| | WILL NOT ALLOW WATER TO BLOW INTO THE HOOD EXHAUST |
| | DUCT. FBC 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 7) PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THE FIELD APPLIED GREASE DUCT |
| | ENCLOSURE MUST BE INSTALLED PER FBC M 506.3.11.2, THE |
| | LISTING OF THE PRODUCT AND THE MANUFACTURE?S |
| | INSTRUCTIONS. YOU CANNOT STOP THE FIELD APPLIED DUCT |
| | WRAP AT THE FLOOR OF THE 4TH FLOOR AND THEN START IT |
| | AGAIN AT THE CEILING OF THE 4TH FLOOR. YOU ARE LEAVING |
| | THE GREASE DUCT EXPOSED WHICH GOES AGAINST THE FBC M |
| | 506.3.11.2. |
| | |
| | 8) SHEET M-5.0.07: PLEASE SHOW THE REQUIRED PROTECTION |
| | OF THE PENETRATIONS IN THE NEW FIRE RATED WALLS IN THE |
| | 4TH FLOOR MECHANICAL ROOM AT ALL DUCT PENETRATIONS. FBC |
| | M 607 |
| | |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM. |
