The classic contractor's dilemma - Risk versus Reward. A few humble-opinion thoughts on each:
>From a Risk standpoint, if something (anything) goes wrong later down the road, what can you rely on that will prove you installed in accordance with applicable standards, manufacturers' instructions, laws regulating contractors, etc? Where will the AHJ who approved an otherwise unlisted application be? Can you estimate your total exposure, assuming some exists? >From a Reward standpoint, what's in it for you? Is this for a favorite (or potentially new favorite) customer? If a customer wants it, maybe (operative word) you can get some contractual assistance in shouldering risk. If it's not a major customer, maybe the issue is operating cash flow. If that's the case, then ask yourself whether it's worth solving a short term issue now with a solution that could have long-term implications. Either way you go, best of luck!

Group II warehouse installation, is it ok to do a LH alteration to that system for office space? Or is it better to just Run and make sure there is no connection to you for any part in this system? I'm thinking "Don't Touch It!" Any other thoughts? Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O.
