Yeah I've seen that stuff. It's usually the result of someone who is not familiar with what is and is not the responsibility of the fire protection contractor. I have these discussions often.

A little personal experience... I have had engineers state that it IS the contractor's responsibility to prove the structure will support the pipe plus 250, since it is in our code. Not to do the analysis, but to hire a firm that does (structural engineers), which is what ended up happening... This however was never for a wall.. R/ Matt Matthew J.
