We're not here to inspect whether or not the sprinkler system has been properly installed, we're here to inspect a properly installed sprinkler system! See Notes 1 and 2

And yes, you all have my blessings to use that little ball of wit.

Took me a moment to catch on, been a long day, but this is exactly the way it is.

Thanks.
 
If we had those smiley emoticon dealies here, I might have added one of those that have a slightly consternated look after the quote. And my apologies. I was being somewhat of a smart ass.

It's just that given the number of sprinkler systems I have seen that are NOT code compliant, it seems like it's a bit of a miss on the part of NFPA to only have a '25' to inspect those that HAVE been installed correctly, and not a more encompassing standard that addresses the more serious issue of those that have not.

But I think we've pretty much beaten this horse to death.

Dave
