James: He doesn't think NFPA-13, Chapter 18 applies? I understand his confusion, the commodities definitions do reference synthetic rubber as a Group A Plastic, but it doesn't specifically reference tires in the definitions....
John Paulsen - SET Crown Fire System Design 6282 Seeds Rd. Grove City, OH 43123 P - 614-782-2438 F - 614-782-2374 C - 614-348-8206 From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Crawford Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2018 12:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Rubber Tire Storage NFPA #13 (2013) is my reference. I have an AHJ that is telling me that Rubber Tires are classified as a Group "A" plastic for the purpose of commodity classifications. I have informed him that Rubber Tires are a commodity classification on their own, but he disagrees, he says there are a synthetic rubber so are a Group "A" plastic. I have shown him the Table A5.6.3 for Commodity classifications in NFPA #13 where rubber tires are not mentioned and chapter 18 that deals with Rubber Tire storage but he still disagrees. Any suggestions? Thank you James Crawford Phaser Fire Protection Ltd.
