Roland,
Great comment about building code trumps the standard, so may sprinkler
contractors and engineers only think standard and never look at the building
code. Which does lead to a beating.
Have a fire safe day!

Slow down Amigo. Before withdrawing from the fun, consider the following:
A - we will never all agree
B - just because something is said with enthusiasm, it doesn’t make it right
(otherwise I’d never be wrong)
C - the building code trumps the standard so knowing what it says (when it’s
applicable) and applying it, is rather important (if you want to avoid a
beating)
D - return to your corners and continue a clean fight

I was just wanting to help out. Since I have designed to 13R and 13D
and once submitted they rejected saying that although it met 13R or 13D but not
IBC.
Sorry for trying to help. I'll just read what the experts post and keep
my opinion to myself.
