| | SHEET FP-6: VERIFY (WITH LOAD CALCULATIONS) BAR TERRACE |
| | CANOPY STRUCTURE CAN SUPPORT 5X THE WEIGHT OF |
| | WATER-FILLED SPRINKLER PIPE. |
| | |
| | SHEET FP-8: PUMP ROOM #253 IS LOCATED ON THE SECOND |
| | FLOOR. THESE SPRINKLERS WILL NEED TO BE SUPPLIED FROM |
| | THE SECOND FLOOR SYSTEM/FLOW SWITCH TO AVOID CONFUSION |
| | THINKING THERE IS A FIRE ON THE FIRST FLOOR WHEN IT IS |
| | ACTUALLY ON THE SECOND. |
| | |
| | SHEET FP-9: COULD NOT LOCATE A FIRE DEPARTMENT HOSE |
| | VALVE IN STAIR #3. |
| | |

| | CORRECT/INCORRECT SUCTION PIPE INSTALLATIONS HAVE BEEN |
| | UPDATED IN FIGURE A4.14.6 OF NFPA 20 - 2013 EDITION. |
| | |
| | GENERAL: 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. |

| | (IF OBSTRUCTED CONSTRUCTION). |
| | |
| | GENERAL: 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 |

| | AND SHALL MAINTAIN THAT PRESSURE WITHOUT LOSS FOR |
| | 2-HOURS. |
| | |
| | GENERAL: PROVIDE CHAIN WITH LOCK AND TAMPER SWITCHES |
| | FOR SUPERVISING THE BACKFLOW PREVENTER IN THE OPEN |
| | POSITION. |

| | ON EACH FLOOR. SPECIFY THE FLOORS THAT WILL HAVE |
| | PRESSURE REGULATING VAVLES AND THEIR DESIGN SETTINGS. |
| | RECOMMEND FIELD ADJUSTABLE TYPE VALVES. |
| | |
| | PRESSURE REGULATING VALVES: PER NFPA 14 SECTION 7.2.2 |
| | WHEN SYSTEM PRESSURE-REGULATING DEVICES ARE USED IN |
| | LIEU OF PROVIDING SEPARATE PUMPS, MULTIPLE ZONES SHALL |
| | BE PERMITTED TO BE SUPPLIED BY A SINGLE PUMP AND |
| | PRESSURE-REGULATING DEVICE(S) UNDER THE FOLLOWING |
| | CONDITIONS: |
| | (1) PRESSURE-REGULATING DEVICE(S) SHALL BE PERMITTED TO |
| | CONTROL PRESSURE IN THE LOWER ZONE(S). |
| | (2) A METHOD TO ISOLATE THE PRESSURE-REGULATING |
| | DEVICE(S) SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. |
| | (3) REGULATING DEVICES SHALL BE ARRANGED SO THAT THE |
| | FAILURE OF ANY SINGLE DEVICE DOES NOT ALLOW PRESSURE IN |
| | EXCESS OF 175 PSI (12.1 BAR) TO MORE THAN TWO HOSE |
| | CONNECTIONS. |
| | (4) AN EQUALLY SIZED BYPASS AROUND THE |
| | PRESSURE-REGULATING DEVICE(S), WITH A NORMALLY CLOSED |
| | CONTROL VALVE, SHALL BE INSTALLED. |
| | (5) PRESSURE-REGULATING DEVICE(S) SHALL BE INSTALLED |
| | NOT MORE THAN 7 FT 6 IN. (2.31 M) ABOVE THE FLOOR. |
| | (6) THE PRESSURE-REGULATING DEVICE SHALL BE PROVIDED |
| | WITH INLET AND OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGES. |
| | (7) THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CONNECTION(S) SHALL BE |
| | CONNECTED TO THE SYSTEM SIDE OF THE OUTLET ISOLATION |
| | VALVE. |

| | MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS. |
| | (9) REMOTE MONITORING AND SUPERVISION FOR DETECTING |
| | HIGH PRESSURE FAILURE OF THE PRESSURE-REGULATING DEVICE |
| | SHALL BE PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH NFPA 72, NATIONAL |
| | FIRE ALARM CODE. |
| | |

| | LEAST EVERY OTHER FLOOR) SHALL BE PROVIDED ADJACENT TO |
| | EACH STANDPIPE EQUIPPED WITH PRESSURE-REGULATING |
| | DEVICES TO FACILITATE TESTING OF EACH DEVICE. |
| | |
| | JOINT RESTRAINT: PER NFPA 13 & 24, SECTION 10.8.1.1, |
| | ALL TEES, PLUGS, CAPS, BENDS, REDUCERS, VALVES, AND |
| | HYDRANT BRANCHES SHALL BE RESTRAINED AGAINST MOVEMENT |
| | BY USING THRUST BLOCKS OR RESTRAINED JOINT SYSTEMS. |
| | |
| | CORROSION RESISTANCE: PER NFPA 13 & 24, SECTION |
| | 10.8.3.5, AFTER INSTALLATION, RODS, NUTS, BOLTS, |
| | WASHERS, CLAMPS, AND OTHER RESTRAINING DEVICES SHALL BE |
| | CLEANED AND THOROUGHLY COATED WITH A BITUMINOUS OR |
| | OTHER ACCEPTABLE CORROSION-RETARDING MATERIAL. |
| | |
| | HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS: |
| | BASEMENT CALCULATION INDICATES A OH GROUP 1; HOWEVER, |
| | DRAWINGS AND CALCULATION INDICATE A DESIGN DENSITY OF |
| | 0.20 GPM/SF. |
| | |
| | CALCULATIONS INDICATE PRESSURES AVAILABLE AS HIGH AS |
| | 213 PSI? WHERE ARE THE 165 PSI PRVS IN THESE |
| | CALCULATIONS? |
| | |
| | NO CALCULATIONS PERFORMED OR SUBMITTED FOR ROOF LEVEL |
| | SPRINKLERS. |
| | |
| | CALCULATIONS DO NOT NECESSARILY SUPPORT THE MOST |
| | HYDRAULICALLY DEMANDING PORTION OF THE SYSTEMS |
| | CALCULATED. FOR EXAMPLE, THE 12TH FLOOR CALCULATION |
| | SUPPORTS THE USE OF TWO RESIDENTIAL STYLE SPRINKLERS ON |
| | A 1-INCH PIPE; HOWEVER, PRES SUITE #1238 SHOWS 3 |
| | SPRINKLERS SUPPLIED FROM AN 1-1/4" PIPE WHICH IS NOT |
| | SUPPORTED BY THE CALCULATIONS. THE BASEMENT LEVEL |
| | RESTROOM (MENS' B009) IS CERTAINLY LOCATED MORE REMOTE |
| | AND SUPPLIES 8 SPRINKLERS FROM 2-INCH PIPING WHICH IS |
| | NOT SUPPORTED BY CALCULATIONS. |
| | |
| | PLAN REVIEW HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AT THIS TIME DUE TO |
| | TOO MANY COMMENTS. ADDITIONAL PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS MAY |
| | BE GENERATED WHEN PLANS ARE RESUBMITTED. |
