905.4 (1) - intermediate level for hose valves, Unless Otherwise Approved. NFPA 14 - 7.3.2 (1) at main floor landings OR 7.3.2.1 allows connection on intermediate landings where required by the AHJ.
Regardless of whether or not the specific paragraph mentions NFPA 14, NFPA 14 is the adopted Standard for Standpipes per the Code per 905.2. This is one item that I make the call to the local FD and find out what the local preference will be. No point in guessing. Craig L. Prahl Fire Protection Group Lead/SME CH2M 200 Verdae Blvd. Greenville, SC 29607 Direct - 864.920.7540 Fax - 864.920.7129 CH2MHILL Extension 77540 [email protected] From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Litvak Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2016 1:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Class I Standpipe Hose Valve Location IFC (2012) 905.4.1 requires hose valves to be on intermediate landings, unless approved otherwise. NFPA 14 (2010) 7.3.2 requires hose valves to be on the main landing, unless required otherwise, per 7.3.2.1. The IFC specifically references NFPA 14-10 for 905.4.2, but not 905.4.1. My question is, when both documents are referenced as adopted standards, with no exceptions mentioned, which document takes precedence? James Litvak
