I believe it was in the last edition of 14 also, if memory serves me.

Better start reading the '07 #14.
Mandatory now and I couldn't agree more.

Generally you have a control valve assembly of some sort on each floor
so you can isolate and test each floor.  Personally, I don't see any
value in the check valve.


Craig L. Prahl, CET


Not a code requirement but is it good practice to install a check valve
on floor control stations for a multi story building or high-rise etc.
The intent would be for maintenance work to the riser that all of the
system valves would not have to be closed and the floor systems would
not be drained inadverntly.  

 Anyone installing chack valves here or not worth the expense? Are there
any other benefits? 

Thanks
