I agree Bill if it wasn’t IMPOSSIBLE to get someone from NFPA on the phone!! The best is where they say it make take up to 3 business days for a call back.......sometimes literally 1-2 months later I'll get the call back. Thanks for your assistance.

They can be obtained fairly quickly by contacting NFPA. The only exception would be where the local AHJ has specific requirements over and above NFPA code.
