I would like to see that as well. I was always told that it was not approved for above ground use. If you send me the copy, I will host it on dropbox for distribution, as long as it doesn't violate copyright laws :-)

Subject: PVC (C900) for spigot through floor

Good morning,
Is it permissible to install PVC (C900) as the spigot piece through the floor slab 
of a building?  There would be about 6 to 8" of exposed piping.  All I can find 
in the 2013 edition of 13 is that Fire Resistance of the Pipe shall be considered 
(10.1.4 (1)).

It appears that this wording has been done away with in the 2016 edition and replaced 
with this, "Where piping installed in a private fire service main must be installed 
above grade, the piping materials shall conform to NFPA 13".

Based on this, it looks to me like using PVC through the floor will be 
acceptable moving forward.  Is this correct?

Thanks for the help,

Bob Knight, CET III
