Chuck,
It's 80 and sunny here in North Carolina......
Unless otherwise directed by the AHJ the rule of thumb is no sprinklers
required in the pit, only in the machine room for hydraulic type elevators.

Subject: Elevator Inspectors vs. Piping Installation per NFPA
It's snowing again in Fargo!
I know this has been asked before... I apologize.
I have looked through NFPA 13, '99, '02, and '07 editions regarding
protection in the pit... I've been on the phones w/ A.H.J.'s regarding
their takes on protection... and the war that's waged w/ the Elevator
inspector NOT wanting anything in the pit OR the elev. mech. room. When
asking the elevator installers regarding if they're using
'noncombustible hydraulic fluids' we get the deer in the headlights look
followed by a "...does that even exist?" comment. There has been a time
or two where we have been instructed by the Elev. Inspector to remove
all piping in these areas after the Fire Inspector has been through.
What to do? I recall that there were talks about this during the NFPA
meeting?? Correct?
Chuck
