| | CHAPTER 1 (W.P.B.), FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE |
| | (F.A.C.), AND FLORIDA STATUTES (F.S.). |
| | |
| | THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS/INFORMATION ARE REQUIRED FOR |
| | GAS PLAN REVIEW TO MEET CODE COMPLIANCE. |
| | |
| | 1. SHEET P-1 FIRST FLOOR PLAN: CLEARLY IDENTIFY ALL |
| | GAS APPLIANCES WITH BTU LOADS CORRELATED WITH THE GAS |
| | ISOMETRIC ON SHEET P-3. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS AND |
| | APPLIANCES ARE MISSING FROM SHEET P-1 FLOOR PLAN. |
| | |
| | A} GAS METER. |
| | |
| | B} ONE 3,000 BTU LAMP. |
| | |
| | C} GENERATOR. |
| | |
| | D} CLEARLY DESIGNATE THE "FUTURE" APPLIANCE BY THE |
| | 120,000 BTU FIRE PIT. |
| | |
| | PLEASE COMPLY WITH THE AOBVE INFORMATION ON THE |
| | RESUBMITTAL. PER FBC-2004 FUEL GAS SECTION 401.1 |
| | SCOPE. |
| | |
| | 2. SHEET P-2 SECOND AND THIRD FLOOR PLANS: CLEARLY |
| | INDICATE THE BTU LOADS CORRELATED WITH SHEET P-3 GAS |
| | ISOMETRIC FOR ALL GAS APPLIANCES. PER FBC-2004 FUEL GAS |
| | SECTION 401.1 SCOPE. |
| | |
| | 3. SHEET P-1, P-2 AND P-3 "DRAWING NOTES" #1: THE |
| | REFERENCED FBC-2004 CODE SECTION 404.6.1 DOES NOT |
| | EXIST, HOWEVER CODE SECTION 404.6 PIPING IN SOLID |
| | FLOORS DOES. PLEASE CLARIFY IF THIS IS THE CODE SECTION |
| | YOU MEAN IN THE RESUBMITTAL. NOTE: DETAILS WILL BE |
| | REQUIRED FOR THIS. PER FBC-2004 FUEL GAS 401.1 SCOPE |
| | AND 404.6 PIPING IN SOLID FLOORS. |
| | |
| | 4. SHEET P-3 GAS ISOMETRIC IS INDICATING CONCEALED |
| | PIPE JOINTS UNDER A SLAB AND PIPING UNDERGROUND BENEATH |
| | BUILDING FROM THE METER LOCATION TO THE 500,000 BTU |
| | GENERATOR, 115,000 BTU FUTURE STOVE, 87,000 BTU STOVE |
| | 199,000 BTU WATER HEATERS 400,000 BTU POOLHEATER AND |
| | THE 140,000 BTU BBQ. PER FBC-2004 FUEL GAS SECTION |
| | 404.3 PIPING IN CONCEALED LOCATIONS. |
| | PORTIONS OF A PIPING SYSTEM INSTALLED IN CONCEALED |
| | LOCATIONS SHALL NOT HAVE UNIONS, TUBING FITTINGS, RIGHT |
| | AND LEFT COUPLINGS, BUSHINGS, COMPRESSION COUPLINGS AND |
| | SWING JOINTS MADE BY COMBINATIONS OF FITTINGS.PER |
| | FBC-2004 FUEL GAS SECTION 404.11 PIPING UNDERGROUND |
| | BENEATH BUILDINGS. |
| | PIPING INSTALLED UNDERGROUND BENEATH BUILDINGS IS |
| | PROHIBITED EXCEPT WHERE THE PIPING IS ENCASED IN A |
| | CONDUIT OF WROUGHT IRON, PLASTIC PIPE OR STEEL PIPE |
| | DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND THE SUPERIMPOSED LOADS. SUCH |
| | CONDUIT SHALL EXTEND INTO AN OCCUPIABLE PORTION OF THE |
| | BUILDING AND, AT THE POINT WHERE THE CONDUIT TERMINATES |
| | IN THE BUILDING, THE SPACE BETWEEN THE CONDUIT AND THE |
| | GAS PIPING SHALL BE SEALED TO PREVENT THE POSSIBLE |
| | ENTRANCE OF ANY GAS LEAKAGE. WHERE THE END SEALING IS |
| | CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING THE FULL PRESSURE OF THE GAS |
| | PIPE, THE CONDUIT SHALL BE DESIGNED FOR THE SAME |
| | PRESSURE AS THE PIPE. SUCH CONDUIT SHALL EXTEND NOT |
| | LESS THAN 4 INCHES (102 MM) OUTSIDE THE BUILDING, SHALL |
| | BE VENTED ABOVE GRADE TO THE OUTDOORS AND SHALL BE |
| | INSTALLED SO AS TO PREVENT THE ENTRANCE OF WATER AND |
| | INSECTS. THE CONDUIT SHALL BE PROTECTED FROM CORROSION |
| | IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 404.8 . |
| | NOTE: DETAILS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THIS. |
| | |
| | 5. SHEET P-3 GAS ISOMETRIC PLEASE CORRECT OR CLARIFY |
| | THE FOLLOWING PER FBC-2004 FUEL GAS SECTION 401.1 |
| | SCOPE. |
| | |
| | A} CLEARLY IDENTIFY THE NATURAL GAS METER. |
| | |
| | B} CLEARLY INDICATE CORRESPONDING LENGTHS FOR EACH CUT |
| | SECTION OF PIPE. |
| | |
| | C} CLEARLY INDICATE THE MATERIAL TYPE OF EACH CUT |
| | SECTION OF PIPE. |
| | |
| | D} CLEARLY INDICATE THE TYPE OF GAS BEING USED |
| | (NATURAL OR LP). THE PERMIT APPLICATION STATES THE TYPE |
| | OF GAS BEING USED AS NATURAL GAS, HOWEVER THE SUBMITTED |
| | PLANS DO NOT CLEARLY INDICATE THE GAS TYPE. SHEET P-3 |
| | GAS SUMMARY INDICATES THE PRIMARY PRESSUREIZED LINE |
| | SIZED PER NFPA 58 (2004_ TABLE 15.1(O). TABLE 15.1(O) |
| | IS FOR PE PIPING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND STAGE REGULATORS |
| | LP @ 10 PSI DELEVERY PRESSURE AND THE OTHER TABLE (NFPA |
| | 58 (2001) TABLE 12.15) IS OUTDATED NO LONGER IN USE. |
| | NOTE: IF IT IS THE INTENT AS THE PERMIT APPLICATION |
| | STATES TO USE NATURAL GAS CLEARLY INDICATE AS SUCH ON |
| | THE PLANS AND THAT THE FOLLOWING TABLES ARE TO BE USED. |
| | PER FBC-2004 W/07 REVISIONS. |
| | |
| | A} 402.4(2) FOR 0.5 PSI OR LESS SCH. 40 METALLIC |
| | PIPE. |
| | |
| | B} 402.4(3) FOR 2 PSI SCH. 40 METALLIC PIPE |
| | |
| | C} 402.4 (14) FOR 0.5 PSI OR LESS (CSST) |
| | |
| | D} 402.4(17) FOR 2 PSI (CSST) |
| | |
| | E} 402.4(20) FOR 0.5 PSI OR LESS (PE) |
| | |
| | F} 402.4(21) FOR 2 PSI (PE). |
| | |
| | E} SHOW THE DISTANCE FROM THE POINT OF |
| | DELIVERY, (METER), TO THE MOST REMOTE |
| | OUTLET IN THE BUILDING AND/OR SYSTEM PER |
| | FBC-2004 FUEL GAS CODE APPENDIX A - USE |
| | OF CAPACITY TABLES A.3.1(4). |
| | NOTE: UNTIL COMMENT "B" IS ADDRESSED AND COMMENT "E" |
| | CORRELATED WITH IT A GAS PLAN REVIEW CAN NOT BE DONE. |
| | |
| | F} CLEARLY INDICATE THE DELIVERY PRESSURE (PSI) ON THE |
| | PLANS PER FBC-2004 FUEL GAS CODE SEC. 402.2. NATURAL |
| | GAS SPECIFY .5 PSI OR 2 PSI. |
| | |
| | G} SUBMIT MANUFACTURE SHEETS FOR THE MP REGULATORS, |
| | LAMPS, TORCHES AND GENERATOR, TO VERIFY COMPLIANCE WITH |
| | STANDARDS NFPA 54, NFPA 58, AND THE FBC-2004 FUEL GAS |
| | CODE SEC 402.2 |
| | NOTE: THE SUBMITTAL NEEDS TO CLEARLY INDICATE THE |
| | MAKE, MODEL NUMBER, BTU LOAD CAPACITY AND HAVE A |
| | LISTING FROM A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED TESTING LABORATORY |
| | (EXAMPLES ARE UL, AGA, CSA). |
| | |
| | H} CLEALY INDICATE ALL FUTURE APPLIANCE AND GAS BTU |
| | LOAD CAPACITIES SO GAS PIPE SIZE DOES NOT CHANGE WHEN |
| | APPLIANCE IS ADDED. NOTE: PIPING BY 120,000 BTU FIRE |
| | PIT HAS NO INDICATON OF WHAT APPLIANCE OR BTU'S ARE. |
| | |
| | I}THE 120,000 BTU FIRE PIT IS DRAWN AS A FUTURE |
| | APPLIANCE WITH IT BEING CAPPED. PLEASE CLARIFY IF THIS |
| | IS A FUTURE APPLIANCE. IF IT IS A FUTURE APPLIANCE |
| | PLEASE INDICATE IT AS SUCH IF IT IS NOT A FUTURE |
| | APPLIANCE PLEASE DELETE THE CAP. |
| | |
| | ********IMPORTANT INFORMATION******** |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING PLANS, PLEASE PROVIDE A COPY OF THE |
| | OLD PLANS, CLEARLY INDICATE THE REVISION ON THE NEW |
| | PLANS, REMOVE AND REPLACE ANY PAGES AS NECESSARY. A |
| | TRANSMITTAL LETTER LISTING THE ORIGINAL REVIEW COMMENT |
| | NUMBER, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE REVISION MADE, |
| | IDENTIFYING THE SHEET OR SPECIFICATION PAGE WHERE |
| | CHANGES CAN BE FOUND WILL HELP TO EXPEDITE YOUR PERMIT. |
| | THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED COOPERATION. |
