NFPA 30 section 27.8.1 and A.27.8.1.6 may be helpful. 27.8.1 implies vents need to be piped outside, though it doesn't specifically say it. Ed Kramer Littleton, CO > Our local AHJ is requiring that we pipe the emergency vents of a 150 > gallon UL 142 fuel tank outside. I have two questions. > > Are the vents required by code or standard to be piped outside? > > If we pipe them outside how do we calculate the added pipe and fittings > to be sure the vent will still operate properly? > > Thanks for your help. > > Ron Fletcher > Aero Automatic Sprinkler > Phoenix, AZ 85024 _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
