Chuck, Without knowing you adopted code the model codes require all valves capable of controlling water supply to sprinklers, hose valves, pumps, etc to be supervised electrically.
Heres an IBC reference; 903.4 John Drucker Fire Protection Subcode Official (AHJ) New Jersey -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of RFI - Bismarck Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 10:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Sectional Valves... I think I asked this already... and apologize for regurgitating it! I have a bldg. that is 'U-shaped' in nature. The system is of CPVC in nature - fairly small. Prior to going into the 'legs' of the 'U' - the contractor wants to have (2) ball valves installed to isolate each wing for maintenance purposes. Do these ball valves need to be of a 'monitored' (wired to panel) type or can they be just run-of-the-mill ball valves? Imho - I believe they should be 'monitored' valves. Thanks! R.F.P.
