Our rule of thumb has always been that when codes conflict use the most stringent, then you know you are in compliance.

I.E. no requirement to monitor the position of the valves. Other NFPA codes such as 101 and 5000, require such supervision in storage areas. IFC 2006 903.4 requires valves to be electrically supervised. I would appreciate your opinions Dan Arbel No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
