from NFA Norman Arendt, PhD, CFII Middleton Fire District Plan Reviewer and Investigator President Infragard Madison Alliance ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Stites" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2015 3:28:05 PM Subject: Multiple Hydrostatic Tests We have run across an interesting situation at a California Hospital. The IOR is suggesting that we will be required to hydro the systems twice, once at rough-in for a “performance test” and again near final as an “acceptance test”. His logic is that all appurtenances are not installed and in place at the time of rough-in which is required by the code, thus removing plugs and installing sprinklers in flex drops he considers a significant modification or “more than a minor” modification, so test twice. Anybody have any interpretations or documents that would refute this?
