Lastly, the book outlines the Most Frequently Cited Standards preceding relevant Subparts, enhancing its utility as a comprehensive safety resource.

The eighth edition provides important updates from former editions, with 1400 EI 2” board now covered within the standard. This new standard also includes revisions to tie rod reinforcements, channel system reinforcement, partial wrap-around reinforcement, and fasteners associated with the newer boards.

Compact and pocket-sized, this handy reference contains thousands of facts and figures relevant to pipefitters, steamfitters-anyone concerned with layout and installation of pipe.

The third edition of the HVAC Duct Construction Standards – Metal and Flexible is intended primarily for commercial and institutional duct construction. This American National Standard contains tables and details for constructing ductwork for ½" to 10" wg positive and negative pressures. This edition improves upon the second edition with expanded pressure class tables, separate tables for TDC/TDF construction and expanded tables for round duct construction including 6" wg positive and negative pressure and sizes up to 96". New in this edition is an engineering and design chapter to provide additional information to design professionals, double-wall construction details, new casing construction details and additional accessory items. The standard is applicable for construction using uncoated steel, galvanized and stainless steels and a limited range of aluminum ducts. This standard has been adopted in the ICC International Mechanical Code.

A comprehensive textbook, initially published in the 1930's, on the fundamentals of heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC). The audience is broad and has historically included students, HVAC system designers, installing contractors, architects, system operators, and service technicians.(1996)

The Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Troubleshooting Handbook, 2nd Edition covers both electric and electronic controls in depth. Using at-a-glance charts, cross-referenced to specific sections of the text, it encompasses control operation, adjustment, troubleshooting, installation, and use, and provides start-up procedures for different types of units, representative wiring diagrams for some types of equipment, safety procedures, and useful engineering data.

NFPA 90A, Standard for the Installation of Air-Conditioning and Ventilating Systems, has been providing information and criteria vital to safety in the built environment since first developed back in 1899. This ANSI-approved standard for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning covers provisions for stopping the migration of smoke and reducing the chance of fire, gases, and related hazards in forced air systems.

From general definitions and requirements to the integration of ventilation and air-conditioning with building construction, controls, and acceptance testing, NFPA 90A is a valuable resource for helping to protect lives and property and staying up to code. You get complete information on all areas of construction, operation, and maintenance of systems, including filters, ducts, and other equipment.

In the event of a fire emergency, fire, smoke, and gases can quickly spread through heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, elevating the risk of injury and loss. NFPA 90B, Standard for the Installation of Warm Air Heating and Air-Conditioning Systems, provides complete provisions for the construction, installation, operation, and maintenance of HVAC equipment, including filters, ducts, and related components. The standard applies to indoor systems in one- and two-family dwellings and buildings under 25,000 cubic feet.

Every year, there are thousands of fires in eating and drinking establishments, posing a significant risk of injuries, fatalities, and millions of dollars in damages. NFPA 96, Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations, provides broad-based preventive and operative fire safety requirements for the design, installation, operation, inspection, and maintenance of commercial kitchens.

The standard covers requirements for all types of cooking equipment, fans, stove exhaust hoods, grease removal devices, cooking exhaust systems, fire-suppression systems, and clearance to combustibles. Provisions apply to both public and private kitchens as well as commercial cooking operations involving residential cooking equipment.

The 2018 edition of NFPA 99, Health Care Facilities Code makes performance criteria more usable, enforceable, and adoptable.

A must-have resource for everyone involved in health care safety, NFPA 99, Health Care Facilities Code provides performance criteria for health care facilities that follow a risk-based approach, where it is the risk posed to patients and staff, not the type of building, that defines safety guidelines. Provisions govern installation, inspection, testing, maintenance, performance, and safe practices for facilities, material, equipment, and appliances -- including medical gas and vacuum systems.

Major changes in the 2018 edition broaden the Code's scope and help you work more efficiently to ensure health care safety:

• Requirements addressing the risk assessment in Chapter 4 have been revised to clarify the responsibility for conducting a risk assessment and determining risk categories.
• Chapter 5 includes requirements that now allow for the use of oxygen concentrators as central supply sources for piped medical gas systems.
• Corrugated medical tubing is now a permitted material for medical gas and vacuum systems.
• Chapter 6 is completely reorganized to group related requirements, allowing for the deletion of duplicated requirements for different types of EES.
• Chapter 7 now includes requirements for wireless phone and paging integration as well as for clinical information systems.
• Chapter 14 compiles all of the requirements for inspection, testing, and maintenance for hyperbaric facilities into one section.
• A new Chapter 15, Dental Gas and Vacuum Piping Systems is dedicated to the application of piped gas and vacuum systems for these systems that do not always readily fall under the requirements for medical gas and vacuum as addressed in Chapter 5.
• Requirements for fire extinguisher selection are included in Chapter 16 for spaces unique to health care facilities.

Keep health care facilities up-to-code and patients and staff safe.

Update now. NFPA 99 users include contractors, engineers, facility managers, AHJs, plumbers, gas and vacuum system installers, security personnel, insurance companies, and manufacturers. (Print, 207 pp., 2018)

2015 Edition

Building on its successful risk-based approach, the 2015 edition of NFPA 99, Health Care Facilities Code improves usability for better health care safety.
