Greg, One drawback that I see is future service work by another contractor, thinking that the entire floor is isolated by the FCV and having that one LIVE vertical branchline feeding all the utility closets. Could be a problem.

We are doing an independent hotel that is being constructed more like a typical condominium. In the far end of each unit (room), there is a small enclosed closet without a door, but with a removable cover that houses a Water Source Heat Pump. I have assumed sprinkler will be required up to this point but I am open to comments on that. There is NO WAY to get concealed piping to the closet at this time. The Building is 9 Stories tall with separate FCV's on each floor etc. My Question is can I feed these closets like a shaft from the 1st floor system all of the way up in order to avoid a lot of grief and trouble to get the owner to add soffits in every Unit? All comments welcome except those that point out something painfully obvious I may be missing. Greg McGahan Operations Manager Living Water Fire Protection 1160 McKenzie Road P.O.
