| | *****PROVISO***** |
| | |
| | REPEAT COMMENT: INDICATE THE FLOORS TO BE TESTED IN |
| | EXCESS OF THE 200 PSI HYDROSTATIC TEST PRESSURE. |
| | INDICATE THE TEST PRESSURE (ABOVE 200 PSI) NEEDED AT |
| | THESE FLOORS. |
| | |
| | SHEET 2 OF 11: |
| | 1) PLAN INDICATES A HYDROSTATIC TEST PRESSURE OF 200 |
| | PSI. SYSTEMS SHALL BE TESTED AT 50 PSI ABOVE WORKING |
| | PRESSURE; THEREFORE, THE 1ST FLOOR SHOULD BE TESTED AT |
| | 254 PSI (PUMP CHURN 148 PSI, PLUS CITY SUPPLY 56 PSI, |
| | PLUS 50 PSI ABOVE WORKING). THE 254 PSI HYDRO TEST |
| | PRESSURE WILL APPLY TO THE SYSTEM FEED MAINS AND |
| | STANDPIPES. THE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS WILL BE PROTECTED BY |
| | A PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE SET TO A MAXIMUM PRESSURE OF |
| | 165 PSI; THEREFORE, THE CROSS MAINS, BRANCHLINES AND |
| | SPRINKLERS SHALL BE PRESSURE TESTED TO AT LEAST 215 |
| | PSI. |
| | |
| | 2) ORDINARY HAZARD ROOM MECHANICAL CHILLER #182 HAS |
| | SEVERAL SPRINKLERS WITH COVERAGES EXCEEDING 130 SQUARE |
| | FEET. |
| | |
| | 3) THE CENTER NORTH SPRINKLER IN MULTIPURPOSE #125 IS |
| | LOCATED IN THE 10'-8" CEILING. THE ADJACENT 9'-8" |
| | SOFFIT TO THE NORTH OBSTRUCTS THE SPRAY OF THIS |
| | SPRINKLER PER NFPA 13 TABLE 8.6.5.1.2. |
| | |
| | 4) TREATMENT #140 HAS A SPRINKLER LOCATED IN THE UPPER |
| | 9'-0" CEILING; HOWEVER, THE ADJACENT 8'-0" SOFFITS |
| | OBSTRUCT THE SPRAY OF THE SPRINKLER ON THREE SIDES PER |
| | NFPA 13 TABLE 8.6.5.1.2. |
| | |
| | GENERAL OBSERVATION: |
| | 1) RESIDENTIAL SIDEWALL SPRINKLERS ARE TYPICALLY |
| | INSTALLED 1"- 6" BELOW THE CEILING. THE RESIDENTIAL |
| | SIDEWALL SPRINKLERS THAT WERE SUBMITTED ALLOW THE |
| | SIDEWALL SPRINKLERS TO BE INSTALLED UP TO 12" BELOW THE |
| | CEILING. THIS SHOULD BE NOTED ON ALL PLANS FOR THE |
| | INSTALLER, OTHERWISE SPRINKLERS INSTALLED 1" - 6" BELOW |
| | THE CEILING WILL BE OBSTRUCTED BY SOFFITS IN SEVERAL |
| | DWELLING UNITS SUCH AS UNIT #107 (UNIT TYPE B1A), UNIT |
| | #106 (UNIT TYPE C3), UNIT #220 (UNIT TYPE C3). |
| | |
| | SHEET 5 OF 11: |
| | 1) ARCHITECTURAL AND SPRINKLER PLANS DO NOT INDICATE A |
| | CEILING HEIGHT IN UNIT #216 (UNIT TYPE E2) AND UNIT |
| | #218 (UNIT TYPE D2). THESE UNITS FEATURE BEDROOM |
| | SOFFITS THAT MAY OBSTRUCT THE SIDEWALL SPRINKLER SPRAY |
| | NFPA 13 TABLE 8.10.7.1.3. THIS SEEMS TO BE NEAR TYPICAL |
| | CONDITIONS ON EACH FLOOR ABOVE. |
| | |
| | SHEET 8 OF 11: |
| | 1) UNIT 1018 (UNIT TYPE D) THE MASTER BEDROOM HAS A |
| | CEILING HEIGHT OF 10'-0" AND A SOFFIT HEIGHT OF 8'-0". |
| | THE SOFFIT CREATES A SIDEWALL SPRAY OBSTRUCTION PER |
| | NFPA 13 TABLE 8.10.7.1.3. |
