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

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?
