Oklahoma 2015 Mechanical Code

This 6-hour course will provide you with all of your CE hours needed for renewal.  In the course, we’ll cover the most significant changes to the Oklahoma Mechanical Code for 2015.

In Chapter 1, we’ll talk about the changes to maintenance regulations, permits, and how conflicts  are handled. Our review of Chapter 2 will include new and revised descriptions that are important to know. Chapter 3, which addresses general regulations, has had changes made in the areas of labelling and identification, wind-resistance, safety systems, and access requirements, as well as to regulations relating to condensate pumps and disposal.

Chapter 4 addresses ventilation and related topics, such as intake and exhaust locations, minimum ventilation rates, and protocol for enclosed spaces.

Chapter 5 will cover exhaust systems in depth, as well as grease duct enclosures and cleanouts. It will also address commercial kitchens, including hoods, pilot lights, and more.

In Chapter 6, we’ll look at the changes to rules for ductwork. Materials, construction, contamination prevention, and appropriate construction of joints, seams, and connections will be covered.

The focus of Chapter 7 is on combustion air requirements, while Chapter 8 will review the regulations for chimneys and vents. Chapter 9 addresses the changes to requirements for fireplaces and similar appliances, and after that, we’ll skip forward to Chapter 11, where we’ll cover refrigeration topics, including the new regulations under the Clean Air Act and the phaseout of HCFCs. We’ll skip over the Chapters that Oklahoma does not adopt, and finish with a brief review of the standards you should be familiar with.

*Due to the 2018 Mechanical Code Adoption, this 2015 IMC course will be invalid beginning December 15 2021. This course will need to be completed before that date for it to count for CE credit.
