NFPA 13 final did more than simply say a means shall be provided. The CMTC now says Indicate the means and state whether the when opened did it create the system flow demand.
I also submitted a PI allowing the main drain to be larger than 2 inches so it can provide the means on higher flow systems. A literal interpretation of 13 allows no ore than a 2 inch main drain.
