Langford, B.C. Canada. The design was done by another company and I'm the lone sprinkler fitter for the mechanical company. I'm used to the support of the designer to help with this type of question but it's an outside source.
It's being built at the moment. We're asking about it but I just wanted to see if I'm missing something. I'm the installer and I wanted to ask because I couldn't find a reason in nfpa 13 2013 for it. Are building codes pushing more towards the international fire code now? For instance the fire...
