CASHIER RECEIPT NUMBER: ��� �� �� Forms\regmodif 01126i12 Guidelines for Approval of Alternate Materials, Design and Methods Qf Construction Basis For Approval For the Building Official and Fire Marshal or their designated agent to approve a request for modification or a request for alternate material or method of construction, he/she must determine that special, individual reasons exist that make compliance with the strict letter of the Code impractical and that equivalency is provided. The resulting condition must be in conformance with the spirit and purpose of the Code provisions involved and that such modification does not lessen fire protection, structural integrity or occupant safety. The applicant must provide sufficient information with this application to allow the above evaluation to be made. Requirements for Submittals The applicant design professional shall prepare a Written Report that describes the alternate proposal along with the applicable data listed below: • State specific code provisions for which alternative is requested and why request is being submitted. • Describe by code section those provisions for which alternative is desired. • Compare the proposed alternative versus the code requirements in terms of structural strength, suitability, effectiveness, fire resistance, safety and health impacts affecting the building or user of the building. • Demonstrate that the proposed alternative is compatible with balance of code requirements. • When applicable, specify how authoritative consensus document(s) are used to substantiate proposal. (Reference draft ICC Building Performance Code Commentary Section 1.4.2.3 for background information). • Provide assumptions, references, and documentation of evaluation methods utilized. This includes intended use, input data, anticipated outputs, and limitations of computer models and other analytical tools or methods. • Specify when and where special inspection and testing are required and the standards of acceptance for demonstrating compliance. Show how the proposed alternate, if accepted, will be identified on the job site. • Where land use restrictions and building setbacks are required, deed restrictions may be an appropriate method to ensure continued compliance. • State how and where alternate proposal is incorporated within construction plans and prepare plan amendments as necessary. The design professional has the responsibility to coordinate all construction documents and ensure compatibility between documents. • The report and design documents shall be dated, signed and stamped by the design professional according to the plan submittal procedure. • For alternate methods of design requests, the applicant shall set performance criteria for his design. Performance criteria shall be reviewed, amended and approved by the Building Official prior to start of design. Alternative Design ReviewNerification The Building Official has the responsibility to review design submittals for compliance to the adopted codes and procedures. If the Building Official does not have the expertise on staff to make a thorough and competent review, the Building Official shall select a consultant that possesses the necessary qualifications to perform a third -party or peer review. Cost of peer review shall be paid by applicant to the Building Department prior to commencing the review. • Verify that all applicable information and justifications listed above as requirements for submittals is received and verify that evaluation and design methods used by designer are appropriate to the alternative proposed. • Verify products are being used in accordance with their listing conditions as required by recognized listing agencies. If not available, require documentation and/or testing to demonstrate compliance with intent of code and intended use. • Evaluate performance of material and possible flaws that could affect performance of material in its installed state. • The reviewer shall document that the submittal has been reviewed and accepted as meeting the alternative materials, design and methods of construction provisions of the code. If the Building Official is not satisfied that the applicant has met the conditions, the request should be denied in writing with the applicable reason(s). Inspection/Field Verification The alternate proposal as approved in the construction documents must be verified by inspection, and, where .necessary, testing as follows: • To verify that alternate materials, systems and fabricated products comply with accepted design criteria and the manufacturers and engineers installation procedures, inspectors should check product labeling, certification, quality assurance processes, and testing, as applicable. • When appropriate, an approved third party quality assurance inspection and testing service may be required for continuous and complex inspection and testing activities. This is intended to verify that construction complies with the code and the approved plans. Appeal from the determination or action of the Building Official or Fire Marshal or their designated agent may be made to the Building Board of Appeals. To appeal, the applicant must provide special individual reasons that make compliance with the strict letter of the Code impractical. Appeals or ratifications, pertaining. to State Disabled Access Standards require complete evidence to substantiate that the proposed design is equivalent to that prescribed by that standards or that due to legal or physical constraints., compliance with the standards or providing equivalency would create an unreasonable hardship. Appeals must be submitted on the Appeal Form available at Permit Counter accompanied by the proper fee. You will be notified in writing of the appeal hearing's time and date.

AKDUCT* has produced a user friendly system that will reduce the amount of time and labor necessary for installation. We are confident after you have designed and installed our system, AKDUCT* will always be your first choice. To ensure an air and water tight system, carefully adhere to the following instructions (please note that AKDUCT AIRTITE Sealant caulk must be used as directed). TOOLS NEEDED: 1. Circular Saw, Chain Saw, Reciprocating Saw, or Jig Saw 2. Drill with 1/4" & 5/16" Hex Driver 3. Utility Knife 4. Caulking Gun TRENCHING & BACKFILL: After the excavation has been made, no special bedding needs to be used for AKDUCT*. It can rest right on the ground, or be in sand or light aggregate. Pea gravel or sand (or the material taken from the trench, if equivalent) can be used to backfill. Spread the backfill material evenly around the duct making sure there are no gaps. Tamping in place is a recommended practice. No cement is needed to fill in around the duct, since the tamped fill holds the duct in place. AKDUCT* is resistant to any minerals or salt that may be in the backfilled soil. AKDUCT* will not "float' when backfilled to within 2" to the top of the duct. Concrete is then poured so that all "tie -down" work is eliminated. CAUTION: When backfilling or grading, care should be taken to not push heavy loads directly on the duct, nor should heavy equipment be allowed to run over the duct. It can be crushed under thoughtless abuse. CDC Enterprises, Inc. is responsible for materials only. (See warranty) CDC Enterprises, Inc. is not responsible for design or installation of AKDUCT* products. CUTTING THE PIPE: AKDUCT* Pipe can be easily cut using a Circular Saw or Chain Saw. Trim all edges as necessary. CONNECTING 6" - 18" PIPE AND FITTINGS: 1. You will need: Clamp (with screws), Gasket & Drill 2. Included on the 6", 8" & 10" Clamp are three 3" aggressive stainless screws 3. Included on the 12", 14", 16" & 18" Clamp are eight 3" aggressive stainless steel screws a. All Pipe and Fittings are manufactured with male ends. b. Place two sections of pipe (or pipe and fitting) end to end. c. MAX SEAL wrap MAXSEAL around pipe with your thumb, apply pressure to overlap. This will provide an airtight and water resistant seal. 4. Note: To prevent clamp damage from occurring during installation make sure the clamp and gasket temperature is between 32' and 100' Fahrenheit. a. Place the clamp around the gasket, lining up the clamp with the gasket. b. Tighten the clamp screws with the drill torque set at 15. (Tightening the screws too fast may cause galling). If more pressure is needed to create a seal you can tighten appropriately. c. Clamps do not have to meet each other to be air tight. Peel off wrap Tack half around Tack down with pressure Slide over clamp *Special care should be taken with the large diameter ducts. Temporary interior bracing or exterior bridging (over the duct) is required when equipment has to drive over the pipe. Backfilling and tamping should be done without damage to the ducts. 1/12/2009 Rev 1.3 AKDUCr® INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Page 1 of INSTALLING THE SADDLE: 1. Center the saddle on top of the pipe at your chosen location for your air supply register and trace around with a Sharpie. Use a template to provide a quick & easy guide for cutting the pipe. 2. Using the Sharpie outline as a pattern, draw another line 1 '/z" inside first outline. Cut out inner drawing and remove any loose material from inside the pipe. 3. Use a '''A" bead of caulk on saddle and pipe surfaces. 4. Set the saddle on plumb and level. 5. Apply the screws provided in the locations pre -marked on the saddle. All the screws must be used to provide the seal. 6. Caulk around the saddle after the screws have been applied. 7. Once the concrete has been poured, cut off the protruding caps and install 4"x12" floor register. Draw outside Step on cut panel Cut along inside Cut square to edges i No ian 1/4 bead Same with saddle Secure both ends first INSTALLING THE INLINE TEE: • Locate the desired register location. • Plumb and level the Inline Tee and connect to your pipe using a clamp and gasket. • See page 1 for Instructions "Connecting the Pipe and Fittings". • After the concrete is poured, cut off the protruding caps and install 4"x12" registers. INSTALLING THE OFFSET FOOTER BOOT: The Offset Footer Boot allows you to use the A.K. Duct underground system with wall registers (verses floor registers). Wall registers may be cut as much as 8" above the floor and can be used in a basement outside wall that is framed with 2x4 or 2x6" OC, or in the slab application. Above the ground registers and plenum provide added security against water seepage into the duct system due to backed up plumbing systems or minor flooding. Locate the desired register location. Plumb and level the Offset Footer Boot and connect to your pipe using a clamp. See page one for Instructions "Connecting the Pipe and Fittings" Mark and Cut an opening to fit your wall register. 1/12/2009 Rev 1.3 AKDUCTx INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Page 2 of 4 OPTIONAL AIR TEST ASSEMBLY: 1. Place a bead of caulk under the air test plate. 2. Position air test kit over existing hole in top of plenum. 3. Screw downusing screws provided. Caulk around outside. If not using plenum attach air test plate to end cap and do the same pressure test. Allow caulking to dry 24 hours prior to testing. 4. Fill pressure gauge to 1.5" W.C. on the manometer. (Note: - .75" and +.75 is 1.5" of W.C. pressure). System will hold 1.5" of W.C. for 5 minutes. INSTALLING THE PLENUM: To ensure easy installation, the AKDUCT® Plenum is constructed as a complete unit. Dig a hole in the appropriate location and insert the plenum. Mark the take -off location and cut your holes at the desired elevation. Each 4"x 12" Boot is a legal clean out. Pipe does not need to be sloped back to the Plenum. If a water problem should occur, drill a hole in the side of the protruding Plenum. (8" above the concrete) and use a shop -vac to remove any water. You can then place a rubber plumbing test plug in the hole according to the size drilled. Nothing else has to be done with the plenum until after the floor has been poured. Mark the furnace opening and cut the plenum .Use a template to provide a quick & easy guide for cutting the plenum. Place gasket around hole and adhere plenum to furnace. Cut to fit your fumace supply. 1/12/2009 Rev 1.3 AKDUC-fo INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Page 3 of 4 INSTALLING THE PLENUM ADAPTER: Hold plenum adapter up to Plenum at desired location and trace around inside and outside with a Sharpie marker. Cut a hole using the smaller circle to fit your plenum adapter. Use ajigsaw or a reciprocating saw. Caulk both surfaces with a Yd' bead of caulk. Secure with screws provided and caulk around plenum adapter. All screws must be used to ensure your plenum adapter has been sealed. Below diagram shows using a template mark area.

The ICC-ES PMG listing mark must be placed on the listed product's packaging or installation instructions. Installation of AKDUCT® and AKDUCT® Premier duct and fittings must comply with the manufacturer's published installation instructions and the applicable codes. Residential Sealing Method: Two sections of pipe (or pipe and fitting) are placed end to end. The adhesive backing is peeled off a gasket and the gasket is wrapped around the duct. The gasket Listings are not to be construed as vepree enting aestheft . or mry other attributes not spe,ijYmlly addressed, na,, are they to be construed ar an �S� endorserseat of the subject of the Fisting or a reeonunendation jar its use.

A clamp is placed around the gasket, with the clamp and gasket lined up. Tighten the clamp to 25" to 30" pounds then set screw gun/drill to match. Clamp ends do not have to meet each other to be airtight. When installing, the clamp and gasket temperatures must be between 320 and 1200 Fahrenheit. When above 90' Fahrenheit, use 6-%" x '/4" self -tapping sheet metal screws on each side of the clamp to stop slippage from heat. Commercial Sealing Method: Two beads of AKDUCT AIRTITE sealant is applied to each flanged end and around the bolt holes. Two sections of pipe (or pipe and fitting) are placed end to end. The bolts, nuts and washer are installed through the predrilled template holes. Torque setting when ratcheting bolts must be set between 25 to 30 lbs. Bolts are tightened until they are flush. Sealant is used to cover both ends of each nut and bolt. Underground Systems: After the excavation has been made, no special bedding needs to be used for AKDUCT It can be a direct burial with onsite compaction fill, sand, pea gravel, light aggregate or material taken from the trench if equivalent. Spread the backfill material evenly around the duct making sure there are no gaps. Plate tamping equipment is the recommended practice. No cement is needed to fill in around the duct, since the tamped fill holds the duct in place. AKDUCT® is resistant to any minerals or salt that may be in the backfilled soil. AKDUCT® should not "float" when backfilled to within 2 to the top of the duct.

When tested in accordance with ASTM 2412, at the average wall thickness noted in Table 1, the pipe stiffness exceeds 8 psi (55 kPa) at 5% deflection. View entire PMG-1023 report at: hqp://www.blueduct.com/doc/ICC-PMG1023.Ddf AKDUCT PLASTIC vs. PVC DUCTING BY COHEAT TEST METHODOLOGY This test was conducted by using RI insulation on the bottom, both sides and the top, which exceeds the requirements for insulation for both the Wisconsin UDC & CBC codes. The test is a demonstration of heat transfer through a pressurized air duct system and shows the other factors that may contribute to the complexity of heat conduction measurements, such as: thermal transmittance that includes convection plus radiation; pressurized air movement; radiation through a cylindrical surface, emissivity of the duct surface, thermal diffusivity of underground air ducts; and all could contribute directly or indirectly to the total fuel utilization efficiency of the duct system.

The system momentarily reached the pressure of 1.75 psi (48.4" WC) at which point the end -cap was noted pushing out of the clamp until it separated enough that leakage occurred. The tensile force (pull apart pressure) on the system joints was calculated to be 170 lb at 1.5 psi and 198 lb at 1.75 psi.

The Thermal Distribution Efficiency (TDE) for AKDUCT was determined to be 95% and the TDE for the PVC was determined to be 93% from the data collected for temperature (in BTU I) for input and output. The Thermal Distribution Efficiency of the AKDUCT is essentially the same as the PVC Duct System which was insulated with R-10 per the standard referenced design by typical state building codes for energy efficiency.
