I believe in 13R (and other spkr codes) you'll find language requiring protection from mechanical injury one could say makes a nail plate requirement- we didn't' find one in the IRC.
Our AHJ was demanding nail plates that were thinker and a lot bigger per the IPC and IMC, even tho they aren't referenced standards for sprkr systems, and why I got heartburn. We were installing nail plates, because you should, but ours aren't as robust as what he wanted (and may have been spec'd in the IPC). glc -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob Caputo Sent: Monday, February 15, 2010 6:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: CPVC and Nail plates It's not an NFPA requirement - it's a Building Code requirement - specifically in the IRC bc -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Forest Wilson Sent: Monday, February 15, 2010 3:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: CPVC and Nail plates This came up on the Forum a few months ago.

We do it as a safeguard but I had a salesmen ask me and I could not find it in NFPA.
