NFPA 90A: Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems, 2002 Edition

Protect building occupants with the best guidance for HVAC system installation and maintenance!

HVAC systems make buildings more livable...unless there's a fire. Then they have the potential to quickly spread smoke, hot gases, and flames to areas far beyond the fire's origin. They can also supply air that enhances fire development. Reduce the risks with the 2002 edition of NFPA 90A: Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems!

This critical Standard prescribes requirements for fire protection of air handling systems to restrict the spread of smoke and fire, maintain the fire-resistive integrity of building components and elements, and minimize ignition sources and combustibility of system elements.

Essential new provisions for installers include:

• Updated duct rules
• New parameters for removal of abandoned material
• Added requirements for limited combustible wires and cables in concealed and plenum spaces

Make sure you're aware of the dangers posed by HVAC system -- and the right ways to mitigate hazards -- with this revised edition. (Softbound, 22 pp., 2002)
