Just for my benefit, if the building is a single family residence, and 13D is the design standard, wouldn’t the locally adopted building code need to recognize some form of the IRC, and not so much the IBC for this application?

Before withdrawing from the fun, consider the following: A - we will never all agree B - just because something is said with enthusiasm, it doesn’t make it right (otherwise I’d never be wrong) C - the building code trumps the standard so knowing what it says (when it’s applicable) and applying it, is rather important (if you want to avoid a beating) D - return to your corners and continue a clean fight Roland Roland Huggins, PE - VP Engineering American Fire Sprinkler Assn. --- Fire Sprinklers Saves Lives Dallas, TX http://www.firesprinkler.org<http://www.firesprinkler.org/> On Nov 7, 2016, at 8:41 AM, Trillium Fire Sprinkler Design Inc. <trilliumf...@cwisp.ca<mailto:trilliumf...@cwisp.ca>> wrote: I was just wanting to help out. Since I have designed to 13R and 13D and once submitted they rejected saying that although it met 13R or 13D but not IBC. Sorry for trying to help. I'll just read what the experts post and keep my opinion to myself.
