: check valves on dry standpipes
We did a manual dry in a parking garage a few years ago, I asked this
question to the local AHJ and he did require one. NFPA 14 (2013) - 6.4.2

My only thought is when the fire department disconnects their hoses the water
can come back through the FDC - some people may still install single clapper
FDC's not thinking ahead or the clappers could stick or malfunction as well.

In this case, the local FD would be familiar with the SP - it is also
visible and free standing. I know we did one other similar dock without
the check valve in the same county.

Hello Greg,
Is it a Manual Dry system? If so we do not and the AHJs in the area see no
reason to.
