Care should <br />be taken in this determination to avoid field replacement of duct sections. <br />MATERIALS <br />Galvanized Steel Sheet: Use ASTM A 653 galvanized steel sheet of lock forming quality. <br />Galvanized coating to be 1.25 ounces per square foot, both sides of sheet, G90 in accordance with <br />ASTM A90. <br />Uncoated Black Steel Sheet: First quality, soft steel sheet capable of welding or double seaming <br />without fracture. <br />Aluminum Sheet: Use ANSI /ASTM B209 aluminum sheet, alloy 3003H -14, capable of double <br />seaming without fracture. <br />Stainless Steel Sheet: Use ASTM A167, Type 304 or 316 stainless steel sheet as specified, 316L if <br />welded ductwork, with No. 2B finish for concealed work and No. 3 finish for exposed work. <br />Polyvinylchloride Coated Steel Sheet: Use hot - dipped galvanized steel sheet with prime coat and a <br />polyvinyl chloride film on both sides. Thickness of coating to be a minimum of 4 mils on each side. <br />United Sheet Metal Uni -Coat, made by United McGill Co., may be used at contractor's option. <br />1. Where any duct surface is scratched, marred, or otherwise damaged, paint with PVC aerosol <br />spray. <br />2. All couplings shall be slip -joint construction with a minimum 2 inches insertion length. Seal all <br />couplings with sealants as specified. <br />PREFABRICATED GREASE DUCTS: Dual wall construction with stainless steel inner liner, <br />insulation and stainless steel (for exposed locations) or aluminized steel (for concealed locations) <br />shell. Furnish all items which form a part of the assembly, including, tee sections, straight sections, <br />elbows, end caps, cleanouts, expansion joints, fan /hood transitions, supports, flashing, counter <br />flashing, and insulated roof thimble where required. Each section shall bear the factory applied <br />Underwriters Laboratories Label. <br />HIGH PRESSURE DUCTWORK (Pressure class 3 inch and over) <br />Manufacturers: Ajax, Semco, United Sheet Metal, or approved equal. <br />Machine formed round and /or flat oval spiral lock seam duct constructed of galvanized steel. <br />Rectangular high pressure duct using a transverse joint system as manufactured by Ductmate, <br />Nexus, TDC, TDF, or approved equal, may be used at contractor's option. Duct to be flanged, <br />gasketed and sealed. <br />Contractor fabricated ductwork meeting specified construction standards is acceptable with prior <br />approval of Arch itect/Engineer. Submit construction details, a description of materials to be used, <br />type of service, reinforcing methods, and sealing procedures. <br />Use a perforated inner liner on double wall high - pressure duct. Annular space between inner liner <br />and outer duct to be filled with 1 inch glass fiber insulation. <br />Use cemented slip joints with 2 inch minimum overlap, flanged connections, or welded /brazed <br />connections, unless noted otherwise for special applications. Prime coat welded joints. <br />Provide standard 90 degree conical tee takeoffs except for exhaust at velocities over 2000 feet per <br />minute, use 45° lateral connections; straight taps or bullhead tees are not acceptable. <br />Internal bracing will not be accepted on ductwork below 48 inches. <br />Use turning vanes as specified in Section 23 33 12. <br />Provide bellmouth fittings or expanded fittings at each duct connection to air plenums. <br />Provide pressure relief fittings as indicated on the plans and /or details. <br />Transform duct sizes gradually, not exceeding 15 degrees divergence and 30 degrees convergence. <br />LOW PRESSURE DUCTWORK (Maximum 2 inch pressure class) <br />Fabricate and install ductwork in sizes indicated on the drawings and in accordance with SMACNA <br />recommendations, except as modified below. <br />Construct so that all interior surfaces are smooth. Use slip and drive or flanged and bolted <br />construction when fabricating rectangular ductwork. Use spiral lock seam construction when <br />fabricating round spiral ductwork. Sheet metal screws may be used on duct hangers, transverse <br />joints and other SMACNA approved locations if the screw does not extend more than 1/2 inch into <br />the duct. <br />Use elbows and tees with a center line radius to width or diameter ratio of 1.5 wherever space <br />permits. When a shorter radius must be used due to limited space, install single wall sheet metal <br />splitter vanes in accordance with SMACNA publications, Type RE 3. Where space will not allow and <br />the C value of the radius elbow, as given in SMACNA publications, exceeds 0.31, use rectangular <br />elbows with turning vanes as specified in Section 23 33 00. Square throat - radius heel elbows will not <br />be acceptable. Straight taps or bullhead tees are not acceptable. <br />Where rectangular elbows are used, provide turning vanes in accordance with Section 23 33 00. <br />Provide expanded take -offs or 45 degree entry fittings for branch duct connections with branch <br />ductwork airflow velocities greater than 700 fpm. Square edge 90- degree take -off fittings or straight <br />taps will not be accepted. <br />Button punch snaplock construction will not be accepted on aluminum ductwork. <br />Reece, Noland & McElrath, Inc. <br />239000-2 <br />Orange County Board of Elections <br />Orange Co., NC 05/04/18 <br />
