I'd agree to change the drops to return bends IF you SHOULD HAVE KNOWN the system was fed by a non-potable water supply. If you weren't advised, and it wasn't obvious, then it could be an extra.
AND I'd give them a proposal to fix ALL the others, at your going, I assume profitable, T&M rate, and note that the balance of the heads need to be changed. I'd also inform the AHJ of the existing deficiency IN WRITING now that you're aware of it. glc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron Greenman Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 3:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Return Bends Jimmy, 2 more cents. The NFPA 25 reference doesn't hold water since NFPA IT&M by definition and as stated ad nauseum on this forum is a functional inspection and test and a preventative maintenance standard. That said, since you modified a portion of a sub-standard existing system it was incumbent on you (your company), as an NFPA 13 specialist, to at least correct those drops that you altered and as a matter of due dilligence to bring the issue to the owner's attention.
