If 13D/R or 13 don't apply any direction to nail plates, that means that they are outside of the scope of 13, 13D or 13R. It doesn't mean they are not required. George obviously thought the were necessary or he wouldn't have installed any.
If we can all agree that they are a good idea for cpvc or copper in wood construction, then all we're arguing about is, what guidance to use when installing nail plates. Anyone found any other written guidance? TYCO doesn't address them in its install guide. So isn't better to use the IPC/IMC guidance than have every sprinkler contractor in the country make up their own rules? Another addition to the hanger and bracing committee?
