Here's a new one for me - guess I'm not old enough to have seen it all!
Got a call this morning from one of our foreman. An elevator inspector had told him that our sprinkler (located in the ceiling of the hallway outside the elevator) needed to be moved or plugged because it could wet the elevator control panel. The elevator control panel is located in the door frame of the 2nd floor elevator door (see below) and apparently isn't water resistant. I mostly live under a rock, but I do get out occasionally and this is the 1st I've seen this type of elevator setup. So I expressed my disagreement in pretty clear terms - compromising the sprinkler protection in the hallway for the sake of an elevator panel is not an option. Has anyone else run into this? Does the inspector have a legitimate concern? Do any of the standards or codes give guidance on how this should be addressed? Returning to my rock, Ed Kramer Bamford Fire
