1) On the larger sheets, GH-1A is indicated, GH-1B is struck through.  However small 8 1/2x11 sheets have been provided for what appears to be GH-1B.  Clarify the scope of the project. 

 

2) If the small GH-1B plans are part of the project, provide the sheets full size.  The small sheets are not legible especially when they are archived. 

 

3) Sheet M-5.1 the ductwork for GH-1A is light color except for replacement of the transition fitting.  Is this all that is being performed on GH-1A?

 

 

4) What is the wall behind the hood and the cooking equipment constructed of?  Demonstrate compliance with NFPA 96:4.2 or 4.2.3 all the way from the top of the hood to the floor. 

Info Note: Even with metal studs, 3” clearance is required to gypsum wall board.  Most hoods have a 3” standoff built in, however the same must be provided all the way to the floor. 

 

 

5) Will the ducts be fabricated or listed assemblies?  If listed provide the listing information.  Also indicate the sealant that is required in the listing as well as the testing method. 

They appear to be fabricated, please confirm. 

 

 

6) Demonstrate clearance to combustibles.  If you plan on wrapping the duct to reduce clearances, provide specifications for the proposed wrap.  NFPA 96:4.2.1

Wrap is indicated for GH-1A on sheet M-5.1.  I do not see an indication for GH-1B. 

 

7) Identify the means in which the fan will be activated when any appliance is turned on in accordance with NFPA 96:8.2.3.3

 

8) Vertical Duct:  Identify the height of any required duct openings (cleanouts).  If not easily accessible from the ground or a 10’ step ladder, safe access and a work platform will be required per NFPA 96:7.4.2.3. 

 

9) Provide a floor plan identifying the location of the hood(s) in the building.
