I’ve never seen anything but we have had inspector’s misinterpret the 
prohibition for supporting anything from sprinkler pipe to mean touching…never 
seen this one though.

Subject: Pipe adjacent to duct

 

We have a project where the fire inspector is stating that the fire sprinkler 
main is too close to ductwork.  There is a 6” main that is about 1/2” from the 
ductwork. 

 

Of course, the inspectors response is “it’s in the code book” when asking for a 
reference that mandates clearance to hvac ductwork. 

 

Has anyone run into something similar?

 

Note: this is not a high temp duct that would cause for enough heat to convert 
the sprinkler water to steam. This is just your standard, run of the mill, HVAC 
system.
