In this project, it was shown on the architectural plans. Quite clearly called out.

Ahhh I was waiting for that question. Because it's in the sprinkler standard, noted on the sprinkler plans by the sprinkler designer, and often the architect nor engineer know the sprinkler designer took that option, or it conflicts with the architects design.

As a result we deny such applications unless the insulation fill is also shown on the architectural plans. In New Jersey it is also an adopted regulation that any plans, shop drawings etc prepared by other than the principal designer have to be reviewed and approved by the principal designer with an accompanying letter at the time of submission to that affect. Often enough we get back from the principal designer that the method submitted by others is not approved.

Seems to me that if the architect or GC wants to fill the space with insulation instead of sprinkle ring it's between him and the insulator to get it right. If the AHJ wants to get involved then OK, but with them. If you don't put in sprinklers because insulation has been approved what business is it of the sprinkler guy?

    Members,

    When an interstitial space is filled entirely with non-combustible
    insulation we coordinate with the contractor and perform the
    inspection ourselves.
