At least here in the South East From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Owen Evans Sent: Monday, January 23, 2017 12:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: PIV Supervion, lock or tamper switch? As most of you know, I work exclusively with 13D systems. I do on occasion get questions on the big boy systems, 13 and 13R. The property in question is a boutique hotel, two buildings. One building is a two story, fifty room hotel and the other building is two story, restaurant on the first floor and banquet facility on second floor with a roof deck. Each building has a FDC and a PIV. I am in California which is under the 2013 IFC. I recently had the question asked "does the PIV require electrical supervision?" NFPA states a lock is adequate, the 2013 IFC states electrical supervision is required, with exceptions. I get different answers form different people. I'm thinking it's the more restrictive 2013 IFC. Which is it? Thank you, Owen Evans
