Pete:
I've seen setups where a separation assembly, similar to the illustration in
NFPA 13 Figure A.9.3.3(a) of a Seismic Separation Assembly, were used. Other
pipe lengths and distances were used to account for the tide changes.

Frankly, I think everyone should just call Galen before they submit
their project for approval ...

Jeff,
Thanks for providin
Jeff,
Thanks for providing more specific information about the project as well as
identifying the AHJ. First, however, please understand that compliance with
NFPA 701 does not mean the fabric is noncombustible. NFPA 701 is a flame
propagation standard. In order to qualify as noncombustible the
I agree with the field inspector if the canopy is immediately adjacent to
the building - within inches - and if there are combustibles under it. If
it is further than that it would be subject to whether or not it falls
under the definition of "attached" in the building code.

For large fluctuations requiring long runs, and if you do your geometry
right, you can use shorter flex lines at either end with rigid pipe in
between.

the possibility of multiple planes of movement the Metraflex was not going to

Pete,
I failed to mention that the braided steel hose lines were 4" diameter.

Pete,
We did eight dry pipe systems for a marina near Nashville in 2009. Dry pipe
valve houses were on shore, and we fed to the docks with stainless steel
braided hose lines manufactured by Nashville Rubber and Gasket, 1900 Elm
Tree Drive, Nashville TN. 615-883-0030. They even provided grooved e
That's the best way I've seen. And if you have a larger main that you are
flowing thru, you can use FDC's (as connectors) and multiple hoses to get
the flow you need.

I was leaning towards high pressure UV protected hose. Does that create a
listing issue?
Not many floating docks subject to elevation changes here in the Big Sky
County.

The last one of these I quoted I proposed using a 25 ft piece of 2-1/2"
rubberized fire hose with a wrap for UV protection. Didn't get the job, but the
engineer was looking at that as a viable solution.

We have a project with a fixed dock connected to a floating dock. We need to
install a hose connection on the floating dock. NFPA 303 allows flexible
connections where approved by the AHJ. I am not sure that the Metraflex
Connector will work for the 3-4 feet of tide variation. Does anyone
