I don't know for sure, Todd, but if the homeowner can do it using that
simplified form in NFPA-13D, then I don't think the plumbing designers
should have too much difficulty. It's just math, right?

Never mind raising eyebrows, how is our industry going to find the

IT MAKES GOOD BUSINESS SENSE. And who's to stop them? Homebuilders
will appreciate the one-stop shopping and many plumbing contractors
already have design departments. I've said this dozens of times
already in this forum but I'll say it again - it's not rocket science.

For the sprinkler contractors who don't hold a plumbing license: if
there is
no BFP, then the entire sprinkler system is potable. That's work you no
longer have access to. Does that raise any eyebrows?
