Joe, I do not have it in front of me, but, the 2007 Supplement to the 2006 IBC specifically added a new line stating that NFPA 13 satisfies IBC.
Perhaps someone on this Forum has the specific excerpt available.

Can You Live Without Them? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe Powell Sent: Friday, March 13, 2009 12:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Siesmic - NFA 13 vs IBC A seismic vendor was in our office this week claiming that IBC 2006 no longer accepts NFPA 13 for seismic bracing of sprinkler piping. Sprinkler piping is subject to rules and exclusions of other piping systems. Anyone else heard of this? Joe C. Powell Pruett Ford & Associates, Inc.
