OK guys and gals, I don't want to raise a panic, but I think the requirements for linen chutes and building chutes in the '02 edition have disappeared. Anyone with information that leads to the safe recovery of said code reference we'll receive a reward. I will name my first born after you. (Darn kid only has about 53 names already....birth certificate is going to on a 30" x 42" sheet)
But seriously (for just a minute), we found it in Chapter 5 in the '99 edition and we found it tucked away in Chapter 21 of the '07 edition. I am starting to believe that goblins or POD people removed it from '02. Is the vertical shaft section (8.14.2) supposed to have taken it's place. Cuz I like them thar rules. If that is the case I am liking them rules. Top and bottom have a nice day! (Our situation is an old non combustible linen chute in an existing hospital) Not an easy install. I am thinking that maybe it just made a comeback appearance in '07 and will likely take the 2010 edition cycle off to right a "tell all" of other peoples dirty laundry. Any which way...does somebody know where this is in 2002? As a bonus questions....why did they get rid of the detail of the shield for the linen chute sprinklers in presumably '02 and '07 editions. Perhaps a change to NFPA linen chute manufacturer's requirements?
