TDLR COMPLAINT

Site review for Enforcement Division Prosecutor, Mike Cady
ACR Program Specialist, John Lain
ACR2010004298C/Mark Humphrey
Complainant, Terry Mishler, 9834 Windemere Court, Humble, TX, 281-793-2294
Reference is to the 2003 International Residential Code as adopted by the city of Humble.
An inspection was performed at 11:00 AM on Sunday, November 14, 2010 to determine if there were life safety issues or code violations with the installation.
Installation details consist of an Amana AMV90704CXA, 90% condensing gas furnace installed in the attic connected to a Model CH60FCA cooling coil with a 16 SEER Amana RSG48C2A outdoor unit.
M1202.1 Additions, alterations or repairs. Additions, alterations,
renovations or repairs to a mechanical system shall conform
to that required for a new mechanical system without
requiring the existing mechanical system to comply with all of
the requirements of this code. Additions, alterations or repairs
shall not cause an existing mechanical system to become unsafe,
hazardous or overloaded. Minor additions, alterations or
repairs to existing mechanical systems shall meet the provisions
for new construction, unless such work is done in the
same manner and arrangement as was in the existing system, is
not hazardous, and is approved.
M1307.5 Electrical appliances. Electrical appliances shall be
installed in accordance with Chapters 14, 15, 19, 20 and 33
through 42 of this code.
Respondent failed to provide a cable fastener at the gas furnace. Page 21 of the instructions requires compliance with all codes.
M1401.1 Installation. Heating and cooling equipment and appliances
shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer?s
installation instructions and the requirements of this
code.
Respondent failed to install this system per the manufacturer installation instructions; specifically he exceeded the Total External Static Pressure. The gas furnace nameplate notes- Max ESP as .5. I measured .7 with a clean 4? filter. This is the maximum operating pressure to prevent premature compressor failure or heat exchanger failure due to inadequate airflow across the cooling coil and gas furnace heat exchanger. Respondent used the wrong type of PVC elbow on the furnace flue vent pipe which is a life safety issue. Page 13 of the installation instructions require a long radius elbow to allow for smooth, quick exhaust of the flue gases. Respondent used a short radius elbow. Respondent failed to install a P-trap in the primary condensate drain line as required on Page 6, Figure 3 instructions.
M1401.3 Sizing. Heating and cooling equipment shall be sized
based on building loads calculated in accordance with ACCA
Manual J or other approved heating and cooling calculation
methodologies.
Respondent needs to provide a load calculation. Before my inspection, the attached garage was ducted with both supply and return ducts coming from the new 4 ton system. Respondent removed the ducts he had earlier installed by order of the city of Humble, Building Inspector because they are prohibited by code due to the possibility of carbon monoxide gases entering the home.
M1601.1 Duct design. Duct systems serving heating, cooling
and ventilation equipment shall be fabricated in accordance
with the provisions of this section and ACCA Manual D or
other approved methods.
Respondent installed a 4 ton cooling capacity system back on a return duct system that is too small. The single hallway ceiling return grille is 24 X 20 and at the ACCA recommended velocity for return grilles of 500 feet per minute, this grille will only deliver 1153 cubic feet per minute of airflow when 1600 CFM is required. Additionally, Respondent has installed a 20? flexible duct which is not even listed on the Duct Size Calculator as provided by the Air Distribution Institute for sizing flexible duct. At 4% duct compression and at 800 feet per minute velocity, this installation would require two 16? flexible return ducts. This installation, when the return grill louver is properly closed in the grille frame, it is so noisy that the Complainant has to leave the louver open and hanging down in the hallway. The Mishler?s are small in height and do not hit their head walking beneath the grille. I have to bend over or I will hit my head on the grille with the 8 foot ceiling.
Failed to provide proper installation, service, or mechanical integrity - 1302.401(b)(1), 75.70(a)(7), 75.70(d), 75.71(b)(1),
