I would’ve required some kind of signage a part of “when acceptable” so that configuration is clear to various users. It should be clear at addition and at, or outside of existing riser. Best. Bruce Verhei > On Dec 11, 2017, at 14:51, Timothy Goins wrote: > > Sounds like a plan to me. Just

Thank you all for the quick responses. Our area is rather limited on open land so it is rare to have something large enough to experience a situation like this. Always nice to learn (and more-so confirm) something new! Thanks again, Wayne T. Cordiner Jr. On Mon, Dec 11, 2017 at 10:16 AM, John Pau

Yes, I was going to ask how this is any different from a facility with a “Central Plant” area where you have your pump/bfp and then go to various buildings in a complex. You may want to have isolation valves on both sides of the underground to the next building. That way, if there is an underg

Wayne: I far as I know of, there is nothing in the Code that would prevent this arrangement. While not the exact same situation, I have seen it done several times with strip shopping centers and multiple building condo developments. I don’t think it matters whether the supply main runs through

Good morning Forum, I have a situation I've never come across before that I'm hoping someone here may have. We are working on a Phase 2 addition of a school. Essentially we have a rectangular shaped building in existence (fully sprinklered) and a new rectangular building being added on the end, t

When I doubt, make a call. It’s not that hard. If you can’t find the information on the State or local Fire Department, Code Enforcement or Building and Construction websites, make a call. Google the state or city and enter “fire codes” or “building codes”, then check several of the links tha
