can’t add water.

they bring a pump in the engine when they show up - so its more likely
you’d need to add a water storage tank if fire flow is the concern. Fire flow
is not a NFPA 13 issue but section 11.1.5.3 is.

at there can be more than one criteria for any given area. Yours
just happens to involve two different types of systems each with their
own specific area/density criteria.
I hope you get this worked out,

FM Global has a standard for this specifically. I recommend downloading it
from their website. Great information that might provide guidance for you.

“damned” area regardless of pitch of pipe or the rating of the gasket used with
the coupling (in dry pipe or reaction systems).

Sprigs do not require sway bracing, but there is this: 9.3.6.6 Sprigs 4

I've been doing this for a while, so I'm about to ask a question that I
think I know the answer too.
I'm just hoping for a different answer.
Is schedule 40 threaded piping 2-1/2" and smaller required to be sway
braced? What about 3" threaded?
Thank you,
Probably because the DV-5 is a TYCO valve and not Viking.

Does anyone have a 3D block of Vikings DV-5 Deluge Valve in 3 & 4"?
I can only find Revit files on their site, and I don't have Revit, so I
would need dwg if possible.

why would this be any different? The domestic demand
needs to be added only when sharing the water supply from the same line for
each individual building. This is not a collective requirement.

JD, I'm not working out of the 19 version yet, but this criteria has been
the same or similar for some time.
So, the answer is the sprinklers are not required when meeting the
conditions you mentioned.

One of my top three favorite answers:
1) Because I'm the AHJ.
2) Because I said so.
3) It's in the book.
Joking aside. Find out what "book". I'm not aware of additional clearances
other than the electrical.
