Owen: Correction – you are NOT working with 2013 or 2016 IFC, but instead with the CFC. State amendments preclude those alternate means of supervision and require it to be electronic (903.4 and 903.4.1).
Steve Leyton From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Owen Evans Sent: Monday, January 23, 2017 9:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: PIV Supervion, lock or tamper switch? As most of you know, I work exclusively with 13D systems. I do on occasion get questions on the big boy systems, 13 and 13R. The property in question is a boutique hotel, two buildings. One building is a two story, fifty room hotel and the other building is two story, restaurant on the first floor and banquet facility on second floor with a roof deck. Each building has a FDC and a PIV. I am in California which is under the 2013 IFC. I recently had the question asked "does the PIV require electrical supervision?" NFPA states a lock is adequate, the 2013 IFC states electrical supervision is required, with exceptions. I get different answers form different people. I'm thinking it's the more restrictive 2013 IFC. Which is it? Thank you, Owen Evans
