What should the working drawing record?
Illustrative example. Replace the prompts with approved project data and identify unresolved items for the responsible discipline.
| Topic | Input or evidence | Review owner |
|---|---|---|
| Outlet | Engine and flexible connection | Vendor outline |
| Route | Pipe geometry and support points | Mechanical design |
| Penetration | Sleeve, seal and clearance | Enclosure detail |
| Discharge | Termination and safe location | Project design |
What does the source support?
The manufacturer application data should control the selected set's exhaust arrangement. Do not transfer a route or allowable condition from another model.
