OK, now I'm intrigued. What's different in the Dominion of Canada? (NFPA 24 reference)

I thought I would check in with the forum and see if it was something that should raise a red flag.

I've seen a bunch. I don't think there are any codes that address. What were you thinking would be issues to regulate? Certainly never required. Nothing prohibiting. No size requirements. On the right side of the BFP I suppose.

Has anyone seen this before? Are there any codes that address something like this? (not something that we installed, or specified... just found it this way) Matt Grisé PE*, LEED AP, NICET II Sales Engineer Alliance Fire Protection 130 w 9th Ave. North Kansas City, MO 64116 *Licensed in KS & MO 913.888.0647 ph 913.888.0618 f 913.927.0222 cell www.
