PROJECT CHECKLIST: The following is a guideline to assist in compliance with the requirements of the MN State Building Code. BATHROOMS: ❑ The required bathroom ventilation rate for toilet, shower/bath, and similar rooms is 50 cubic feet per minute (cfm) intermittent or 20 cfm continuous. Bathroom ventilation requirements can also be met by installing an operable window, in which case the minimum openable area to the outdoors shall be a minimum of 1.5 sf. BATH FANS: ❑ Ducting material must be an approved material. Flexible duct is allowed, but must be listed and labeled class 0 or class 1 duct that is tested in accordance with UL 181. ❑ Termination of exhaust ducting must be at least 3' from openings into the building (such as non - mechanical air intakes, windows and doors). ❑ Exhaust fans must discharge outdoors. Termination must be equipped with a backdraft damper. (This is in addition to the damper at the fan.) Air must not be exhausted into the attic or crawl space. ❑ Insulation with a thermal resistance of R-3.3 and a vapor retarder with all joints sealed is required 3' back from the exterior waiVroof sheathing on exhaust ducting inside conditioned space, and continuous in attics/unconditioned space. Insulation and vapor retarder are required from the exterior wall or roof sheathing to 3 feet in to a conditioned space. In unconditioned spaces, the insulation and vapor barrier shall be continuous and extend to a conditioned space. The insulation shall be a minimum of R-3.3 and the vapor barrier shall have lapped and taped seams. VENTILATION OF UNINHABITED SPACE: ❑ Conditioned crawl spaces require mechanical ventilation of .02 cfm per square foot or a minimum 1 supply and 1 return duct. This ventilation may be provided by a supply duct or a mechanical fan and humidistat. Supply and return must be separated by one half of the diagonal room dimension. ❑ Unconditioned crawl spaces shall be ventilated per Section 408 of the Minnesota Residential Code. DRYER VENT: (MN Mechanical Code 913, 504.4) ❑ Exhaust vents for clothes dryers shall be constructed of metal and have a smooth interior finish. ❑ The duct shall be a minimum size of 4". ❑ The maximum length shall not exceed 35' with a deduction of 5' for each 90-degree elbow (may use specific requirements provided by dryer manufacturer). ❑ No screws or rivets that penetrate more than 1/8" into the duct may be used to secure the duct. Dryer duct must be secured in place; joints are to be sealed with tape or other approved material found in MMC 603.9. Tape should be marked 181 B-FX. ❑ Each vertical riser shall be provided with a means for cleanout. ❑ Male ends of joints shall extend in the direction of airflow. ❑ Transition ducts may be used to connect the appliance but must not be concealed or exceed 8' in length, and must be tested and labeled in accordance with UL 2158A. Residential Mechanical/Fireplace Handout Page 2 of 6 Copyright © MNSPECT 2020, Rev. July 2020 ❑ Dryer duct must terminate on the outside of the building and shall be equipped with a backdraft damper (screens on discharge are not allowed). ❑ Installations exhausting more than 200 cfm shall be provided with makeup air. SUPPLY DUCTING: ❑ Supply duct sizing considerations include heat loss due to room size, exterior walls and floors, window and door openings to the exterior and distance from the furnace. ❑ A supply duct is required in all habitable spaces not provided with natural ventilation as required by MRC 303.1 and MMC 401.2.; bathrooms, closets and storage areas may not require supplies but may require ventilation. RETURN DUCTING: ❑ A return path for air back to furnace is required for the supplies to work correctly. A door restricts this path if a room does not have a return duct. For each cubic foot of air delivered to a'space, a return path to the furnace is required. ❑ Return ducts are not allowed in kitchens, bathrooms, toilet rooms, closets, garages, furnace'' rooms, boiler rooms or unconditioned attics— all other habitable spaces require a return path to the furnace. ❑ Return ducts shall not be located within 10' in any direction from an open combustion chamber or draft hood of another appliance. ❑ Return outlets are typically located in interior walls. ❑ Return ducts are to be sized in accordance with ACCA Manual D, the manufacturer's instructions or the design of a registered design professional. ❑ Building framing cavities shall not be used as ducts or plenums.

Flexible duct, both metallic and nonmetallic shall be tested in accordance with UL 181 and shall be listed and labeled as Class 0 or Class 1. (Labels must be attached to ducts and visible at the time of inspection.) Return ducts may use the above materials. Construction is required to be substantially airtight. Note: The conversion or alteration of existing spaces may require additional combustion and/or makeup air and verification of proper operation. DUCTS OUTSIDE CONDITIONED SPACE: (Code Reference) ❑ All ducts shall be sealed (MN Energy Code R403.2.2). ❑ A pressure test (25 pascals) is required on all duct systems that leave the building's thermal envelope. ❑ 1322MN Energy Code.R403.2.1: All exhaust, supply and return air ducts and plenums shall be insulated according to TABLE R403.2.1 MINIMUM REQUIRED DUCT AND PLENUM INSULATION FOR DWELLING UNITS DUCT TYPE/LOCATION REQUIREMENTS Exterior of building R-8, V, and W Attics, garages and ventilated crawl spaces R-8 and V V means the vapor retarder in accordance with IMC Section 604.11. When a vapor retarder is required, duct insulation required by this section shall be installed without respect to other building envelope insulation. W means an approved weatherproof barrier. FIREPLACES — FACTORY BUILT (Masonry fireplaces require a building permit.): ❑ The installation of a gas fireplace requires a separate permit. This permit should include the fireplace and the associated gas line to this appliance only. Installation of the fireplace and gas line (with pressure test) is required at the rough -in inspection. ❑ The unit shall comply with UL 127, the hearth with UL1618 and the installation must conform to manufacturer's instructions (which must be available at the time of inspection). ❑ It is strongly advised that instructions be read and understood before installation of fireplace begins. Most inspection failures are as a result of not reading or understanding the instructions. Manufacturer's installation instructions must be onsite at all inspections. ❑ Outside wall construction should be weather -tight and complete before the appliance is set. Residential Mechanical/Fireplace Handout Page 3 of 6 Copyright © MNSPECT 2020, Rev.
