What is the proper procedure for stand pipes when there is no access to the roof? I have an apartment building that requires a class I stand pipe. The building is a 13R occupancy. NFPA 14 states: 7.3.2* Class I Systems. Class I systems shall be provided with 2 1⁄2 in. (65 mm) hose connections in the following locations: (5)*At the highest landing of stairways with stairway access to a roof, or on roofs with a slope of less than 4 in 12 where stairways do not access the roof. Normally, I have always (that I recall) had roof access in one form or another. The roof slope on this building is 4.5 in 12, so I am assuming than that I don't need to anything special with this so long as I have connections at the highest landing, which I do. Do I need to do anything for testing? I will have a 2-1/2" express drain on the riser that is the combination.
