Travis, The only thing I can think of is where there is to be a 2” clearance to structural that isn’t supporting piping. The AHJ could be confused as to what is structural and what isn’t.
Thank you, Bob Knight, CET III Fire by Knight, LLC 208-318-3057 From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Travis Mack via Sprinklerforum Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2020 6:54 AM To: <[email protected]> Cc: Travis Mack Subject: Pipe adjacent to duct We have a project where the fire inspector is stating that the fire sprinkler main is too close to ductwork. There is a 6” main that is about 1/2” from the ductwork. Of course, the inspectors response is “it’s in the code book” when asking for a reference that mandates clearance to hvac ductwork. Has anyone run into something similar? Note: this is not a high temp duct that would cause for enough heat to convert the sprinkler water to steam. This is just your standard, run of the mill, HVAC system.
