I have seen a few that do. There are still some in the SW states where
we have freezing conditions that allow the use of AF solutions. However,
I always turn down projects where the customer asks me to design an AF
system. Basically, the AHJ has little to no liability, as I understand
it, should something bad happen. Because of that, I will either do it as
a dry system, or will not touch the project.

The State of Connecticut adopted a new fire safety code last October.
The use the 2010 edition of NFPA 13. A question came up from a client
regarding antifreeze. After researching and email discussions with the
State Fire Marshal's Office, I found out that CT still allows
antifreeze systems to be installed based on the old requirements. Most
jurisdictions that I am aware of have either adopted 2013 or 2016, or
have amended their Codes to prevent new antifreeze system until a
listed solution arrives. How many other jurisdictions still allow
these systems based on the old requirements?
