1) Elevation/sectional views on FP3.0 do not show heads or piping overlay. Show heads and piping. NFPA 13:23.1.3(4).
|
| |
|
|
2) The RM-1 riser manifold specifications indicate that the pressure relieve kit is optional. If you are using the option, indicate this or demonstrate how NFPA 13:7.1.2 will be met.

3) Criteria sealed by D. Bruce Keeley PE, indicates in section 32.004(2)(D) sub section "C" that allowable K factors are 5.6, 11.2 and 14. The plans submitted indicate a 4.9 K factor for wet system areas as follows:
System 1, remote areas 4 and 5
System 2, remote areas 2 and 3.
Revise calculations accordingly or provide acknowledgement from the EOR for the change in K factor.
Florida Administrative Code (FAC) 61G15-32.002 defines a material deviation as "Any deviation from the design parameters established and documented by the Engineer of Record." Furthermore FAC 61G15-32.003(6) states "When layout documents contain material deviation from the Engineer of Record's Fire Protection System Engineering Document, such layout documents are not compliant unless they are accompanied by revised Engineering Documents made and sealed by the Engineer of record for the Fire Protection System."
