Todd, I would think that it would depend on the jurisdiction.
New Jerseys Rehabilitation Subcode (NJAC 5:23-6) addresses this issue extensively. Is it in NJ ? John Drucker Fire Protection Subcode Official Red Bank, NJ 07701 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Todd Williams Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 8:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Hospital standpipe I am working with local 5-story hospital that has an existing Class II standpipe. If this was being built as a new structure, there would be a Class I or III installed. Is there any reason why the standpipe system would need to be upgraded? (We are doing a water supply upgrade and would need to know if this would be an issue) Todd G.
