Ed – if this IS your last post, I want to thank you for contributing all these years since the onset of the SprinklerForum. Had NO idea you were so young – my Pops is 92, but wouldn’t be caught dead posting on the Forum. Of course, his only remaining interest in fire protection these days is me…
BEST WISHES!

The codes and standards determine the decision. This may be my last post. At the age of 95 I am starting to lose interest.

On the upside, more sprinklers are better, and even if not required they can act as detectors in the space. Bottom line is that the AHJ has ultimate decision making authority.

We installed temporary upright Protection in a partially occupied building during a major renovation. We then came back and dropped pendent heads in the new ceiling. We left the uprights above the new ceiling. Fire inspector says we need to remove the uprights now. Is there a basis for removing these? I realize they are not required but are they permitted to remain?
