Equipment and Caulking Installation Instructions Using Caulking Applicator Guns Photo 1A
Equipment and Caulking Installation Instructions Using Caulking Applicator Guns Photo 1a There are different types of caulking applicator guns available. The recommended procedure when using the different styles will be described in Sections A, B and C. Section D will then describe the recommended procedures to follow to install the caulk and finish the job. Section A Applying Caulk in Plastic and Cardboard Fiber Foil Wrapped Cartridges Photo 2a There are a variety of applicator caulking guns available to do firestopping. We recommend using a smooth rod style rather than the less expensive ratchet rod type. When dispensing caulk from a 29 ounce-size cartridge, we recommend using the rod tape gun with at least a 12:1 thrust ratio. The higher thrust ratio means less hand fatigue since the firestopping caulks are usually high viscous materials. It will also help when the product becomes stiffer in the colder temperatures. (12:1 ratio generates approximately 300 pound thrust) Photo 3a For manual single component cartridge applicator guns. Select the correct size manual drive frame-style cartridge gun for either the 10-ounce (300ml) or the larger 29-ounce (850 ml) plastic or cardboard fiber foil wrapped tube type. (see photo #1a) Using a utility knife cut off the end of the plastic tip/nozzle of the sealant tube to the desired opening size. The cut can be straight across (90º) or angled Photo 4a (45º). Cutting too small of an opening will restrict the flow of material and a smaller bead size than needed may result. The smaller opening will also require more triggering action (pressure) to move the material out of the tube.(see photo #2a) Using a screwdriver or other pointed utensil insert it into the plastic nozzle to puncture the membrane and allow the caulk material to flow. -

FOREWORD This technical guide was prepared in response to increasing concerns over the requirements for through-penetration firestopping as mandated by codes, specified by system designers, and required by code officials and/or other authorities having jurisdiction. The language in the model codes, the definitions used, and the expectations of local code authorities varies widely among the model codes and has caused confusion in the building construction industry. Contractors are often forced to bear the brunt of inadequate or confusing specifications, misunderstandings of code requirements, and lack of adequate plan review prior to construction. This guide contains descriptions, illustrations, definitions, recommendations on industry practices, designations of responsibility, references to other documents and guidance on plan and specification requirements. It is intended to be a generic educational tool for use by all parties to the construction process. Firestopping Guideline • Second Edition iii FIRE AND SMOKE CONTROL COMMITTEE Phillip E. -
Grease Duct Enclosures Fire and Smoke Dampers in Grease Ducts
506.3.11 CHANGE TYPE: Modification CHANGE SUMMARY: The code specifically prohibits the installation of Grease Duct Enclosures fire and smoke dampers in grease ducts. 2015 CODE: 506.3.11 Grease Duct Enclosures. A commercial kitchen grease duct serving a Type I hood that penetrates a ceiling, wall, floor or any concealed spaces shall be enclosed from the point of penetration to the outlet terminal. In-line exhaust fans not located outdoors shall be enclosed as required for grease ducts. A duct shall penetrate exterior walls only at locations where unprotected openings are permitted by the International Building Code. The duct enclosure shall serve a single grease duct and shall not contain other ducts, piping or wiring systems. Duct enclosures shall be either a shaft enclosure in accordance with Section 506.3.11.1, a field-ap- plied enclosure assembly in accordance with 506.3.11.2 or a factory-built enclosure assembly in accordance with Section 506.3.11.3. Duct enclosures shall have a fire-resistance rating of not less than that of the assembly pen- etrated and not less than 1 hour. Fire dampers and smoke dampers shall not be installed in grease ducts. Duct enclosures shall be as prescribed by Section 506.3.11.1, 506.3.11.2 or 506.3.11.3. 506.3.11.4 Duct enclosure not required. This excerpt is taken from Exception: A duct enclosure shall not be required for a grease duct Significant Changes to the that penetrates only a non-fire-resistance-rated roof/ceiling assembly.

Basis of Design
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Mechanical Facilities Services Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Design Guide Ductwork and Duct Accessories Basis of Design This section applies to the design and installation of ductwork, air terminal boxes, air outlets and inlets, volume dampers, pressure relief dampers, smoke/fire dampers, and smoke/fire damper actuators. Design Criteria Select duct velocities to meet N.C. requirements of each occupied space. NC level requirements shall be identified in the Basis of Design narrative. Coordinate required NC levels with University Project Manager and users. Supply, Return and Non Fume Exhaust Ductwork Provide a 6-inch pressure rating for supply ductwork and plenums between the supply fan and the zone terminal boxes; for ductwork downstream of the terminal box, provide a 2-inch pressure rating. If pressure classes less than those given above are considered sufficient for a specific application, review with Engineering Services before specifying a lower rating. Use the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals chapter on duct design to determine the allowable leakage rate (cfm/100 sq.ft.) at the specified test pressure for each type of ductwork on the project other than fume exhaust ductwork. Specify for each type of ductwork the duct pressure rating, the pressure to apply during the duct leakage test, and the allowable cfm/100 sq.ft. leakage rate at the test pressure. Minimize use of square elbows. Provide turning vanes in square elbows of supply ductwork. Do not use turning vanes in return or exhaust ductwork. To minimize noise levels in the space, specify balancing dampers in lieu of registers. Provide a balancing damper for each outlet and each inlet. -
TSB-A-07(1)S:2/07:Countryside Stove & Chimney of Burnt Hills,Petition No
New York State Department of Taxation and Finance Office of Tax Policy Analysis TSB-A-07(1)S Sales Tax Technical Services Division February 8, 2007 STATE OF NEW YORK COMMISSIONER OF TAXATION AND FINANCE ADVISORY OPINION PETITION NO. S040628D On June 28, 2004, the Department of Taxation and Finance received a Petition for Advisory Opinion from Countryside Stove and Chimney of Burnt Hills, 839 Saratoga Road, Burnt Hills, New York 12027. The issues raised by Petitioner, Countryside Stove and Chimney of Burnt Hills, are: 1. Whether installations of various wood, pellet, and gas burning heating appliances qualify as capital improvements to real property for New York State and local sales and use tax purposes. 2. Whether the installation of manufactured stone veneers on an interior or exterior wall qualifies as a capital improvement to real property for New York State and local sales and use tax purposes. Petitioner submits the following facts as the basis for this Advisory Opinion. Petitioner is a retail store selling and installing gas, wood, and pellet burning stoves that are placed on the floor on noncombustible material either purchased or provided by the customer. The gas stoves can be either directly vented from the stove out the side of the building using a wall thimble and a cap on the outside of the building or vented into the customer’s existing chimney by installing a stainless steel flexible liner in the chimney with its own rain cap. The wood and pellet burning stoves are also vented straight out the back of the stove and through a wall or chimney. -
