How big is each building? If the total area for al the building is over 52,000-sq. ft., then this is not acceptable. However, if the total area is less than 52,000, then maybe it would be okay, but I would need more info before making a decision...maybe. rick matsuda city of dallas

The only problem is there is not one underground main which branches off to each building underground. Instead the fire line goes into only one building (building #1) with it's own riser, feeds the fire sprinklers system for that building then goes down the opposite side of the building, underground, comes up into building #2, with it's own riser, feeds that fire sprinkler system then goes down underground and continues on to each building. Each building has it's own riser but if at anytime someone shuts down the riser at building #1 the entire complex goes down. I hope I made sense. >From my perusal of 13 and 24 I didn't see anything that forbids this but wanted to run it through the forum. It seems a little too wacky to me. _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://fireball.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 [email protected] http://fireball.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)
