Attachment C: NFPA 92 Public Comment

Report


Public Comment No. 2-NFPA 92-2016 [ Section No. A.4.5.1.1 ]

A.4.5.1.1

Tenability analysis is outside the scope of this document. However, other references are available thatpresent analytical methods for use in tenability analysis. The SFPE Engineering Guide toPerformance-Based Fire Protection Analysis and Design of Buildings Protection describes a process ofestablishing tenability limits. Additional guidance is given in NFPA 130 and in the ASHRAE/ICC/NFPA/SFPE Handbook of Smoke Control Engineering.

The SFPE guide references D. A. Purser, “Combustion Toxicity” Chapter 62, SFPE Handbook of FireProtection Engineering, which describes a fractional effective dose (FED) calculation approach, which isalso contained in NFPA 269. The FED addresses the effects of carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide,carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, and anoxia. It is possible to use the test data,combined with laboratory experience, to estimate the FED value that leads to the survival of virtually allpeople. This value is about 0.8.

Attachment D: NFPA 204 Public Comment

Report


Public Comment No. 6-NFPA 204-2016 [ Section No. 5.1 ]

5.1* Listed Vents.

Normally closed vents shall be listed and labeled in accordance with ANSI/UL 793, Standard forAutomatically Operated Roof Vents for Smoke and Heat; FM 4430, Approval Standard for Heat and SmokeVents; or other approved, nationally recognized standards.

5.1.1 Acceptable Modifications to Listed Vents

5.1.1.1 Where other building or fire code requirements dictate that the vent(s) be mechanically operablefrom a distance that is beyond the length of the manufacturer's supplied release or operator cables, it shallbe permissible to extend those cables to the necessary location.

5.1.1.2 Where the floor elevation below a vent that must be mechanically operable creates a situationwhere the pull-handle is below 72" (1.8m) AFF or a hand-crank is below 46" AFF due to the length of themanufacturer's supplied release or operator cables, it shall be permissible to shorten those cables to thenecessary elevation to provide operator leverage to effect the operation / release of the vent(s).

5.1.1.3 Connections, extensions, cable muling, and/or ganging of release / operator cables shall besubject to local AHJ approval. Cable mule blocks, where required or necessary to route cables aroundobstacles, shall be steel construction and have a groove diameter of no less than 30 times the cablediameter, and a groove geometry to match the cable diameter. Extension cables shall be uncovered (notenclosed in any plastic or rubber sheathing) and be 19x7 IWRC galvanized or stainless steel wire ropecable.

5.1.1.4 Pull handles or hand-crank handles shall be 4"-6" (100-150mm) wide and shall be between 3/4"and 1" (19-25mm) diameter. Handles shall be solid (with interior core hole only as large as necessary topass the wire-rope loop or fastener core. Exterior handles shall be fabricated from non-corroding metal;and interior handles shall be high temperature (90 degree C. or greater) plastic, hardwood, or metal.


This change is recommended because the NFPA 101 LSC 12.4.6.5.2.3 requires that the smoke vents located above a Stage be operable from the Stage Floor. ALL of the available vent products do NOT satisfy this requirement, so they must be modified. Owners, Contractors, and AHJ's are reluctant to allow this modification as they believe it de-lists the vent product and may somehow affect the building’s insurability and/or their liability. Manufacturers will tell the entities that the product listing is violated if any modifications are made.

Other consequences of the 'no modifications' concern is that the listed products come from the factory with bottom-side release cables/handles that are too long to be useful if they are to be operated from the gridiron deck (not that someone would typically be up there when a fire occurs, but if they are, they should be able to effect a vent release). A 10' cable hanging from a vent that is 8' above the gridiron deck leaves the handle upon the floor where there is no leverage from a standing person to grasp the cable and pull it. The cables are typically 1/8" diameter wire rope, so wrapping them around a hand is not practical, as it will just sever your hand should you try to do this.The inclusion of 'ganging' is because many Stages have multiple vent assemblies to satisfy the 5% rule, and it is both cluttering and impractical to bring each and every vent's controls to the stage floor level individually. Combining multiple vents' operator cables together with a cable clew can reduce the total number of user interfaces. We want it to be clear that this is acceptable.

The specification for the mule blocks is because I have found all manner of unsuitable pulley blocks (and sometimes NO blocks - leaving the cables to grind away at steel beams, pipes, conduits, air ducts, etc.). The 'not less than 30 cable diameters' is recommended by the AISI (American Iron and Steel Institute) Wire Rope User's Guide. The 'grove geometry' specification is because I frequently find pulleys that are designed for 1/4" or 3/8" fiber rope used to pass 1/8" wire ropes - this does not support the wire rope correctly and creates flat-spots in the rope that weaken it and sometimes cause the cable to 'take a set' (become permanently bent).

The specification for the uncovered wire rope cables is because I have found plastic sheathed cables in these NFPA 92 & 204 Second Draft Technical Committee Teleconference Agenda - February 7, 2017

of 32

systems, and in the event of a fire the plastic would melt and 'gum-up' the system, possibly rendering it inoperable. It also prevents the cables from being properly terminated due to the cable clips or cable crimp ovals not properly clamping the inner wire rope. The 17x9 IWRC (Independent Wire Rope Core) cable specification is for flexibility. I have found other types of cables used for these systems and they are either too stiff and 'take a set' (become permanently bent) as they pass over the mule block pulleys, or they have too few strands (fencing cable) and can fracture or bind in the system. The 'galvanized or stainless steel' specification is because I have found other types of cable used that is either too weak, corroded, or rotted to maintain the long-term integrity of the system.

The pull handle specification is because I have found handles that are too wide, to narrow, too large, and too small to comfortably grasp and operate the equipment effectively. Exterior pull handles are frequently found to be plastic tubes that rot and disintegrate under the UV exposure, leaving the fire-fighter or maintenance staff to grasp just a wire loop.
