Yes, but... NFPA #24 (Underground Fire Mains), within the scope paragraph, excludes 13R and 13D systems.

Either NFPA 24 if it only supplies the sprinklers, or IPC if it is a domestic plumbing line. We have encountered many contractors who swear they have never heard of flushing - but that has never been a good excuse to not do it.

I can find something in NFPA 13R that requires a flush but nothing in 13D...... Anyone have any insight on why its not required in 13D?
