Yep....and there two new additions to this building that need to be installed also.....they're 60ft to the roof.....

 

Does code keep you from using PVC now?

 

My bad......I was reading that and talking on the phone to one of our managers about putting some new items in his store.:o

 

Can't use PVC on fire sprinkler systems.

 

Yep.....can't use it on fire lines in commercial building that are ordinary group 1 hazards or greater .....on other plumbing stuff a person can....

 

Its call CPVC and it can be used in single and multiple resident dwellings along with light hazard class 1 commercial.....but it needs one hour fire wall protection separating it from the space its protecting....

 

Yeah, guess that makes sense. Stuff might melt before it worked on the fire.

 

Right, normally surrounded by double 5/8in sheet rock........

 

Or acoustical ceiling tile and grid that's rated for an hour.....it can also be painted with an approved latex paint and used exposed but the authority having jurisdiction has to approve it before installation.....

 

Yupp, and that can be a cluster in it's self because if you have more than one isnpector you normally can't either of them to agree on one method....... There were many days that I ended my work day with one of those conversations with a customer followed by many beers when I got home.

 

Oh I don't even want to start talking about inspectors......some are great but others are POS.......

 

Oh I have some stories I could share..........

 

I found some exhaust stacks for John.........

As do I......

 

I hope he doesn't read back! He's gonna order those. I was thinking he might buy up the pipe and fabricate a combination roll bar and stacks.
