Meeting IBC Seismic Requirements
Daikinunitventilatorscanbespecied,asfollows,tomeetInternational
Building Code seismic requirements:
•
All components included in these unit ventilators are designed,
manufacturedandindependentlytested,ratedandcertiedtomeet
the seismic compliance standards of the International Building
Code.
•
Components designated for use in systems that are life safety,
toxic, high hazard, combustible or ammable meet the on line,
anchorageandloadpathrequirementsforlifesafetyasdenedin
IBC sections 1621.1.6, 1621.3.3,1707.7.2. and IBC Commentary,
Volume II, section 1621.1.6, IBC notes pertaining to the release of
hazardous material.
•
All components used as part of a system other than the above meet
as a minimum, all load path and anchorage standards for components
as outlined in IBC section 1621.3.3 & 1707.7.2.
•
 Allcompletedcomponentassembliesareclearlylabeledforeld
inspection. Seismic Compliance Labels include the manufacturer’s
identication,designationofcertiedmodels,denitiveinformation
describing the product’s compliance characteristics, and the
IndependentCertifyingAgency’snameandreportidentication.
In addition to all seismic requirements for IBC Certication listed
elsewhere in the project specication, submittals for these units
include:
1.
 A Certicate of Compliance from the Independent Certifying
Agency clearly indicating that components supplied on this
projectareincludedinthecomponentmanufacturer’sCerticate
of Compliance.
2.
Clear installation instructions including all accessory components
that are part of the overall component installation.

(4) - 1-1/2" O.D. x (dimension “X”),
galvanized steel pipe (by others),
gives rigidity to the unit in relation
with the building structure (see detail).
