| | REVIEW COMMENTS - FIRE DEPARTMENT |
| | |
| | SYSTEM PRESSURES ON THE LOWER LEVELS APPEAR TO EXCEED |
| | 175 PSI. PER NFPA 13 SECTION 8.16.1.2.1 IN PORTIONS OF |
| | SYSTEMS WHERE ALL COMPONENTS ARE NOT LISTED FOR |
| | PRESSURE GREATER THAN 175 PSI AND THE POTENTIAL EXISTS |
| | FOR NORMAL (NONFIRE CONDITION) WATER PRESSURE IN EXCESS |
| | OF 175 PSI, A LISTED PRESSURE-REDUCING VALVE SHALL BE |
| | INSTALLED AND SET FOR AN OUTLET PRESSURE NOT EXCEEDING |
| | 165 PSI AT THE MAXIMUM INLET PRESSURE. |
| | |
| | PER NFPA 13 (2007 EDITION) SECTION 24.2.1.2, PORTIONS |
| | OF SYSTEMS NORMALLY SUBJECTED TO SYSTEM WORKING |
| | PRESSURES IN EXCESS OF 150 PSI SHALL BE TESTED AT A |
| | PRESSURE OF 50 PSI ABOVE SYSTEM WORKING PRESSURE AND |
| | SHALL MAINTAIN THAT PRESSURE WITHOUT LOSS FOR 2-HOURS. |
| | |
| | FOR SYSTEM PRESSURES EXCEEDING 100 PSI, ARMOVERS AND |
| | END OF BRANCH LINE PENDENT SPRINKLERS SHALL BE |
| | PROTECTED FROM UPWARD MOVEMENT. HANGERS SHALL BE |
| | LOCATED WITHIN 12-INCHES OF THE DROP ELBOW. INDICATE |
| | THE HANGER TYPE OR METHOD TO BE USED FOR RESTRAINING |
| | UPWARD MOVEMENT. |
| | |
| | SUBMIT HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS FOR CLASS I STANDPIPE |
| | SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | NO PRODUCT DATA SUBMITTED FOR TYCO WS SPRINKLERS OR |
| | FIRE DEPARTMENT VALVES. |
| | |
| | I BELIEVE TYCO WS ARE REQUIRED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE |
| | GLAZING. PLEASE CONFIRM. |
| | |
| | TYCO WINDOW SPRINKLERS: IF THE DESIGN INTENT IS TO USE |
| | TYCO WINDOW SPRINKLERS TO ACHIEVE A FIRE RATED |
| | SEPARATION, THE SPRINKLERS MUST BE INSTALLED ACCORDING |
| | TO THE UL LISTING DATA AND SHALL WET THE ENTIRE GLAZING |
| | SURFACE. SPRINKLERS CANNOT BE USED TO PROTECT OPERABLE |
| | DOORS OR WINDOWS. THE WINDOW SPRINKLERS DO NOT ALLOW |
| | HORIZONTAL WINDOW MULLIONS AND REQUIRE THE GLASS |
| | CURTAIN WALL TO BE ATTACHED TO A THREE FOOT HIGH PONY |
| | WALL TO KEEP COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AT LEAST TWO INCHES |
| | AWAY FROM THE GLAZING. PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE |
| | GLAZING ASSEMBLY AS THE SPRINKLER POSITIONING VARIES |
| | FOR BUTT-GLAZED INSTALLATIONS COMPARED TO VERTICAL |
| | MULLION INSTALLATIONS. VERTICAL MULLIONS SHALL BE OF A |
| | DEPTH THAT PREVENTS COLD SOLDERING OF ADJACENT |
| | SPRINKLERS. THE SPRINKLER DESIGN SHOULD INDICATE WHICH |
| | WINDOW SPRINKLER MODEL WILL BE USED (HORIZONTAL |
| | SIDEWALL OR PENDENT VERTICAL SIDEWALL). |
