One must assume that only 13 is identified in ASME A17.1 because it's
the only one that REQUIRES sprinklers in these areas.

I have just the opposite problem. Condo building designed per 13R
so no
heads required in elevator but the elevator inspectors wishes to be
the
fire inspector and is requiring sprinklers in the pit and machine
room.
Problem is the elevator and machine room are basically detached
from the
rest of the building separated by an out side walk way and there is no
way to install sprinklers without the potential for freezing.
Inspector
says that if there are sprinklers installed in the building the
elevator
must have sprinklers per NFPA 13. When I try to explain that the
sprinklers are designed per NFPA 13R not 13 he says that ASME 17.1
only
references NFPA 13 so he is not aware of 13R so sprinklers are
required
per 13. Has anyone else had a similar problem?
