Thermoplastic Duct (PVC) Construction Manual, 2nd Edition, 1995 <br />7. Round Industrial Duct Construction Standards, 2nd Edition, 1999 <br />8. Rectangular Industrial Duct Construction Standards, 1st Edition, 1980 <br />C. Use products which conform to NFPA 90A, possessing a flame spread rating of not over 25 and a <br />smoke developed rating no higher than 50. <br />3.2 SUBMITTALS <br />A. Include manufacturer's data and /or Contractor data for the following: <br />1. Schedule of duct systems including material of construction, gauge, pressure class, system <br />class, method of reinforcement, joint construction, fitting construction, and support methods, <br />all with details as appropriate. <br />2. Duct sealant and gasket material. <br />3. Duct liner including data on thermal conductivity, air friction correction factor, and limitation on <br />temperature and velocity. <br />A. Welding certificates. <br />7.2 QUALITY ASSURANCE <br />A. Welding Qualifications: Qualify procedures and personnel according to the following: <br />1. AWS D1.101.1M, "Structural Welding Code - Steel," for hangers and supports. <br />2. AWS D1.2/D1.2M, "Structural Welding Code - Aluminum," for aluminum supports. <br />3. AWS D9.1 M /D9.1, "Sheet Metal Welding Code," for duct joint and seam welding. <br />PRODUCTS <br />9.2 GENERAL <br />A. All sheet metal used for construction of duct shall be 24 gauge or heavier except for round and spiral <br />ductwork and spiral duct take -offs 12" and below may be 26 gauge where allowed in SMACNA <br />HVAC Duct Construction Standards, Metal and Flexible, 2nd Edition, 1995. <br />B. Duct sizes indicated on plans are net inside dimensions; where duct liner is specified, dimensions are <br />net, inside of liner. <br />9.3 DUCTWORK PRESSURE CLASS <br />A. Minimum acceptable duct pressure class, for all ductwork except transfer ductwork, is 2 inch W.G. <br />positive or negative, depending on the application. Transfer ductwork minimum acceptable duct <br />pressure class is 1 inch W.G. positive or negative, depending on the application. Duct system <br />pressure classes not indicated on the drawings to be as follows: <br />Transfer ducts 'h " -1" S.P. 1" pressure class <br />Exhaust ducts 1%2" S.P. 2" pressure class <br />Return ducts 1 " -2" S.P. 2" pressure class <br />Relief ducts 1"-2" S.P. 2" pressure class <br />Constant Volume AHU Supply 1 %2" S.P. 2" pressure class <br />Grease Hood Exhaust 2 %3" S.P. 3" pressure class <br />* *Smoke Exhaust System 3 %4" S.P. 4" pressure class <br />* *Note: All ductwork that serves a dual function (i.e. return / relief and smoke exhaust (for example)) <br />shall be constructed to the highest pressure requirement. All ductwork that is part of the smoke ex- <br />Reece, Noland & McElrath, Inc. 239000-1 Orange County Board of Elections <br />Orange Co., NC 05/04/18 <br />
