Yeah, I don't know why we couldn't use the valve from the floor below. For horiz. SP we could you two valves as well. Why design for 250 gpm at the most demanding valve if it's to be tested at 500 gpm?

I have seen them both ways but the local AHJ's allow us to use the one at the top and the next one down to facilitate testing.

Does this mean we have to have two 2.5" hose valves at the top of a standpipe? What about horizontal systems? _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum
