Yes sir - it was added for the 2016 edition of NFPA 13 and remained the
same for the 2019 edition. Problem solved.
Thanks,

This has been addressed in the 2016 Edition:
9.2.3.4.4.4 and 9.2.3.5.2.2 both state “unless flexible sprinkler hose fittings
are used”.
So it doesn’t say it in 2013 Edition, but it’s clear what the intent was an the
direction the code is going.
