Gentlemen,
Would you please share with me building code info of state that you are
working in.
I need to collect info related to egress distance for S-1 and F-1 occupancy
in different states (with and without sprinkler system). Would you be so
kind and let me know required egress distance, state an
The City of Atlanta does, at least they have in the past. With all the
budget cuts things may change.
The inspector usually looks at the gauge and takes a quick look (a bit
less than two hours) at the system then signs the test certificate.
Ceiling type makes no difference.

Chris,
"I believe" there are specific prohibitions in some states under their
worker safety laws regarding using PVC (I think CPVC too) for compressed
air systems. You might want to check about that as it could be construed

I'm quite familiar with 1.4G explosives, as I use them every year in my
work as a licensed pyrotechnician in California. Some perspective is in

Per code he could have a lot more than that in there without requiring
sprinklers. For between 2-5 lbs there are some separation requirements in
table 415.3.1 but that's it.
Less than 2 lb of fire works obviously isn't considered a big deal by the
building codes.

Douglas,
I agree with other forum members that the trailer should not be parked under
the grandstand.
I have found some informative articles about fireworks/explosives:
on fireworks testing:

I kind of go along with the comments that this should not be parked
under a grandstand, especially when occupied. If this thing is moved,
I would look into some form of self-contained protection, such as a
dry chemical. But the purpose would only be to keep the combustible
construction from ign
