Just a side to this, and not a new rant! We have installed the required "Draft Stopping" for coin/cc heads in the past and just bypassed the GC. We co-ordinate with the Elect. Contractor so they run conduit and wire on the bottom of the flat trusses, we draft stop the top using Dry wall, Plywood or my personal favorite rolls of sheet metal flashing material. (Available in various widths and ga.) A couple of MH and its a done deal. No it's not my responsibility, no lost time polling forum, or peer groups. Job done move on to the next project.

Prior precedent for building feature reqd by sprinkler listing criteria. Draft curtain at vertical opening protected by water curtain? There are others, so this isn't unique in requiring building features. We note their need and our exclusion to providing them in our informative yet entertaining proposal. Window sprinklers- no horiz mullions without another set of WS below it- so you COULD add another level of WS at every horizontal mullion and not change building features. Architect /Owner might not like the appearance. George L. Church, Jr., CET Rowe Sprinkler Systems, Inc.

So 13 requires the listed sprinklers, the listed sprinkler requires the building to be altered so the sprinklers can be used. If that is the new precedence, then we are treading on very dangerous ground.
