Besides the wiring, the curb is flashed in on an asphalt roof with rubber. http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/images/smilies/13.gif

No permit on a permitted job, no firewrap on greaseduct. to close to the edge of the roof, no rails, no hinges, no grease trap.

glad I don,t try that

What is too close to edge of roof all about? Safety for servicing?

Equipment has to be 10' from the roof edge or have a rail.

Good idea. I can see some guy working on this and forgetting while taking one step backwards.

 

[Miller257]

It's minimum code in IMC 2009 I believe.

Are you sure that includes exhaust fans?

 

[Glennhvac]

I was thinking the same thing yesterday. Seems like exhaust fans kinda gotta go where they gotta go but I see the reasoning behind the code.

Are you sure that includes exhaust fans?

 

[Miller257]

IMC 304.11 Guards - Guards shall be provided where appliances, equipment, fans or other components that require service and roof hatch openings are located within 10' of a roof edge or open side of a walking surface and such edge or open side is located more than 30 inches above the floor roof or grade below.

Nice.

How long has it been that way?

 

[coolwhip]

Thanks miller, I was too lazy to get up and look.

 

[Scott Kline]

That is some stellar wiring right there

Is that curb ventilated? It needs to be per code, and top of fan 42 inches above the roof.

 

[HellGato]

if i could get a quarter for every code violation I have seen in the field I would be retired right now in Belize ... the wiring is a red hot flag right there however...

Anybody working on that thing, better have fall protection, not just for safety, but because OSHA is getting bigger and stronger.

 

[chaard]

I've worked on RTUs that were inches from the edge with no railing.

 

[Pnasty]

Well he would have had a permit pulled and a guard rail install if the installer hadn't fallen off the edge and taken out the guard rail guy on his way down.

Technically, if the grease duct maintains 18" from combustibles it isn't required to be wrapped. I recently ran into this on a job. Sounds crazy. We usually wrap anyway for piece of mind.
IMC 506.3.6 & 507.9

 

[Lash]

It would ,of course, at least have to be wrapped going thru the roof as it doesn't maintain 18"
