Not entirely George.  Was the pipe schedule appropriate for the hazard when
installed?  Has the commodity changed?  Odds are if it is PS it's old thus
there have been many changes that rightfully should be investigated.  You
wouldn't be surprised how many old systems had no correlation to any
standard on how to protect a hazard.  I ran in to this often and always gave
the owner (through his reps) a chance to show when it was installed 13,
231c, FM or anything else this was the appropriate installation.

Sounds like the AHJ may be overstepping his boundries. Additions to Pipe
schedule systems are allowed without calcs in #13.

The standard requires a minimum pressure be available at the highest/most
remote sprinkler - is that the "calc" that's been requested?   Still no
requirement for a hose allowance though.

Then it will no longer be a pipe schedule, but a calculated system. Which
requires hose streams.
