| | A. WATER HEATER DETAIL; LACKS THERMAL EXPANSION DEVICE |
| | AND HEATER PAN. PER WPB FBC 107.2.1, SHOW AND SPECIFY A |
| | SIZED THERMAL EXPANSION DEVICE AS REQUIRED BY FBC PL |
| | 607.3. IT IS NOTED THAT PER FBC PL 504.7.2 A PAN IS NOT |
| | REQUIRED FOR A REPLACEMENT WATER HEATER IF A PAN WAS |
| | NOT PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED. PER WPB FBC 107.2.1, PROVIDE |

| | (76 MM) IN DIAMETER WITH STRAINER OPENINGS NOT LESS |
| | THAN 1/4 INCH (6.4 MM) IN LEAST DIMENSION. WHERE EACH |
| | SHOWER SPACE IS NOT PROVIDED WITH AN INDIVIDUAL WASTE |
| | OUTLET, THE WASTE OUTLET SHALL BE LOCATED, AND THE |
| | FLOOR PITCHED SO THAT WASTE FROM ONE SHOWER DOES NOT |
| | FLOW OVER THE FLOOR AREA SERVING ANOTHER SHOWER. WASTE |
| | OUTLETS SHALL BE FASTENED TO THE WASTE PIPE IN AN |
| | APPROVED MANNER. |
| | .........B2B) FBC PL 421.4.1 BATHTUB FLOORS, SHOWER |
| | FLOORS, WALL AREAS ABOVE BUILT-IN TUBS THAT HAVE |
