Mike, NFPA 13 (2016) A-8.1 "... no sprinkler piping should be placed in an unsprinklered area unless the area is permitted to be unsprinklered by this standard." If sprinklers are allowed to be omitted per 8.15.6 then there should not be a problem with the piping in the crawl space.

Does anyone know where this comes from or if it is even a requirement? In my case the water comes from the BFP passes thru an unconditioned (different problem that I know how to handle) and unsprinklered crawl space to a fire pump. Water goes from the fire pump passes back thru the same crawl space to a standpipe with floor control assemblies. Water from the floor control assembly then goes back thru the same crawl space to the occupied portion of the building where the fire pump is. This was someone else's design that the GC wants me to follow. I am looking for arguments for why this isn't the best way to run these pipes. Common sense does not apply here.
