By 1974 it was in 7-1.2, so I think that if your jurisdiction had adopted a NFPA 13 1974 or newer it would have been required. Many jurisdictions never had a formal adoption of 13, they just "Allowed" it to be used when they had a sprinkler installation, which often allowed it to be used piece meal.

I had one job where the same thing occurred, insurance inspection and the owner was written up for no plates among other things. While we were fixing the other deficiencies the owner asked about the plates, I explained what we would need to do to verify the system data, which he realized wasn't going to be cheap, and then he asked if we could just fill something in because the inspector wouldn't know the difference anyway. It goes without saying that we did not oblige him in that matter. We finished the other work and that's the last we heard of the situation. He probably found some jack-leg that filled out the plates for a couple of bucks. I've got a 1989 NFPA 13 and it's in there, 7-1.2 Craig L.

I have a customer that just went through an insurance inspection... They wrote them up for not having the data plates posted. This is a 10 story building and the floors are fed from the standpipe on each floor. The company that installed the system back in 85 is not to be found anymore. The HOA does not want to tear up the units so we can trace the pipe to reproduce the calcs (or pay what I would charge for that). I'm open to suggestions. I do have a call in to the AHJ about plans but he does not think they exist any more. -- Best regards, Charles Thurston mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Coastal Fire Protection _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
