Having a discussion with a designer concerning a manifolded riser assembly 
which has a dry pipe system and wet pipe system as shown in 2013 NFPA 13, 
Figure A.8.16.1.1.  The question is the purpose of the check valve in the 
portion below the split at the manifold.  Their FDC is piped in accordance with 
the detail.  The designer says the check valve in the vertical is not needed 
because they are on a non-potable water supply and they have a PIV outside.

Thoughts, opinions?
