But hey, whatever, it's his rodeo. Craig L.

We can pipe in with pipe for sprinklers but we can not exit out. This includes bringing UG through the floor and exiting through a wall or ceiling. It's kinda like the roach motel - roaches check in but they don't check out! Bobby Gillett Sr. Project Manager Key Fire Protection, Inc.

However there were restricted spaces within the rooms over or in front of certain equipment where the pipes were not permitted to be run. Is your electrical room sprinklered? If it is not it must meet the criteria set forth in #13 and in the Building code otherwise it is to be sprinklered: a. 2 hour fire-rated enclosure including protection for penetrations. b. Only dry type electrical equipment is used. (you need to ask, don't assume this one) c. The room is dedicated to electrical equipment only. d. No combustible storage is permitted to be stored in the room. Craig L.

Alvarado Sent: Tuesday, April 07, 2009 8:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Pipe passig thru Electrical Equipment Rooms Forum: I think that this subject may have been previously discussed a long time ago, but I can't remember the final judgment, thus, the question is, how does one justify passing pipe thru electrical or similar type rooms when its prohibited by the NEC code? This particular installation is to meet # 13, Light Hazard, and the local authority has no problem with it, and the rooms have Fire Sprinklers in them, which are mandated by the locals. The objection comes from the EOR. Help would be greatly appreciated.
