    2021 IPC - Air Admittance Valve for Common Vents

    Good morning, Are air-admittance valves approved for common vents per the 2021 IPC? §918.3: "Individual, branch and circuit vents shall be permitted to terminate to an [...] air admittance valve". There is no mention of common vents here, but maybe common vents are qualified as individual vents?

    NFPA 13 - Highly Sloped Ceiling/Wall & Ordinary Hazard Sidewall Sprinkler

    Thank you all for the help! The gas dynamics at the corner are a great point I hadn't considered at all. I'll be sticking to some pendants in this case.

    NFPA 13 - Highly Sloped Ceiling/Wall & Ordinary Hazard Sidewall Sprinkler

    Thank you MGXFP. Are you suggesting upright sprinklers for a particular reason, instead of the sidewall sprinklers aimed along the slope?

    NFPA 13 - Highly Sloped Ceiling/Wall & Ordinary Hazard Sidewall Sprinkler

    NFPA 13 - 200 PSI Test, RPZs @ 175 PSI working Pressure

    Thank you both, very much appreciated. I'll check with the manufacturer since their sheets don't indicate a maximum test pressure (unlike all the other equipment that's clear about their difference). mk3223, do you remember if that's part of NFPA 13? NFPA 25?

    NFPA 13 - 200 PSI Test, RPZs @ 175 PSI working Pressure

    Hi all, I have a concern regarding NFPA 13's 200 PSI Hydraulic test requirements. Every 6" OS&Y RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone) device that I have found is only rated for 175 PSI working pressure, so I'm quite concerned about the 200 PSI test, but I can't imagine they've been designed with such an...
