The NFPA13 annex and handbook address this directly. NFPA 13 A8.15.1.2.1 “minor quantities of combustible materials such as but not limited to cabling, nonmetallic plumbing piping… …should not typically be viewed as requiring sprinklers.”
Matt From: Sprinklerforum <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Travis Mack, SET, CFPS, CWBSP, RME-G via Sprinklerforum Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2020 4:39 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Travis Mack, SET, CFPS, CWBSP, RME-G <[email protected]> Subject: I-B construction - ABS plumbing piping We have a fairly good sized school project. Plumber ran ABS drain piping. Electrician has some cabling not in conduit. Inspector is stating the space is now combustible and requires sprinklers above all ceiling areas. Has anyone run into this and how was it resolved? Drawings and specs do not indicate sprinklers required above ceiling spaces. But the GC is trying to force it down the contractor’s throat if it is required and of course it is now holding up the job.
