Bob:

 

I believe that is in Section 9.3 which is the seismic section.  This job is 
Seismic Design Category B, so 9.3 doesn’t apply.

Travis,

The only thing I can think of is where there is to be a 2” clearance to 
structural that isn’t supporting piping.  The AHJ could be confused as to what 
is structural and what isn’t.

 

 

Thank you,

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.
