(could not attach it. Google "Storz fire UL" . It should be the first listing). I did not look in 14, but 13 does require the FDC to be "of an approved type" (6.8.5 in 2002 and 6.8.3 in 2010).

Some municipalities have ignored this in some situations, but this is what the ruling at the state level is. At 11:51 AM 2/1/2012, you wrote: >Hold on there Todd.
