I know from NFPA 13 (10.4.3.1) that a riser pipe needs to be within 10' of an exterior foundation. But I have in my memory that a fire suppression installer had told me a few years ago that using an Ames in-building riser, this could be extended to 30 feet. Something about being able to still get the job done using only one joint under the slab. So basically a long pipe attached to a long horizontal leg of an Ames elbow. Does anyone know if that "one joint" idea is legit, or maybe an old option that isn't valid anymore?

The rest of 10.4.3 gives you the requirements to extend longer.

I do not just using Ames gives that option.

Call Ames and ask
