I think you would be shocked at how many jurisdictions permit the use still.

I haven't for a long time and have no intention of starting. I'm just a little surprised that this is not universally addressed, given the severity and publicity.

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?
