If the shaft is noncombustible and the car is noncombustible then you don't need a head in the shaft IMHO. For hydraulic equipment a head to protect the sump is in order.

Did I say simple and logical? But you can't point to it. And the biggest dif between BCO's and contractors is what that means: To the contractor, it means I don't have to; To the BCO, you must cause it doesn't say you don't have to. glc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thom McMahon Sent: Monday, January 28, 2008 5:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Interior chair lift The one's we see in high end homes, don't have Equip rooms per say, the pump and reservoir are usually under the platform when lowered. If it's hydraulic, and there is no pump if its a traction motor installation. We usually install a head at the top, even though 13D doesn't say what to do with elevators in homes.
