Gentlemen:
First, and foremost, I thank you all for the comments.
The point that I am trying to make is:
There is no other conceivable use for a HEPA fan/filter of this type other than filtering conditioned air from a plenum into the area under the plenum. (Being a clean room area)
AS the unit comes factory equipped (as an option) with a cord and molded plug...how can that be??
My situation was resolved when the operation we installed folded... I bring it up as another contractor had this situation last week...I said "it is OK", another AHJ said "NO", as stated in my original post.
The "job" that I installed was inspected & approved. My opinion was/is that there is access and "visability above the ceiling tiles, via the catwalk and platforms.
Again, thanks for the opinions.
Harold, what do you think????
PS, Yes, I posted this situation at Mike Holt's board, as this site was down.
Edit:
Joe T: yes, I understand 400-8 and the drop ceiling/plenum ceiling thing. You and I just have a different definition for the same thing, I think.
John
