This is the same style hood that was specified. The fume hoods will need to be restricted bypass type. Alarms are not needed as they are part of the VAV system (and they do not work with VAV systems). Please clarify of sashes are to be vertical rising or combination type.

Response: Sashes will be vertical rising.

Response: DT19 and CT19 units shall be provided as specified and indicated on sheet A-701.
