    Interior Exit Stairway

    Without seeing a floor plan. A little hard to call A few reasons maybe 1. Door is part of a rated assembly 2. Door is part of enclosed rated stair 3. Stop the spread of fire from one floor to another 4. Other reasons Does the door swing in direction of travel to an exit?

    Just thought some would get a kick out of this one... the worst installation I have ever seen!

    Do you know how old the install is? Do you turn this in to the ahj or whoever regulates sprinklers? A red tag goes directly to the ahj within 24 hours in the state I am in. I wonder if some ahj approved it?????

    Mechanical Closets - drywall ceiling required?

    NFPA 13 Sorry do not have the book, readily available So 1. Install per manufacture instructions 2. Install per listing, the cvpc you need the specific brand, but most if you get the entire install instructions,,, up front the listing says pipe cannot be installed bare,, must have...
