Todays inspection was for the wet system. See the city approved plans for deficienceis and there locations. See the city approved plans for the one wing that can have the piping covered since no corrections for the wet or dry system were in this area. The rest of the building has deficiencies listed in red on the city approved plans. They include overspaced heads in the kitchen area. It appears additional heads will be required since the room size exceeds the maximum spacing of the pendant heads as calculated in the room. The size of the piping on the plans does not match what has been installed which includes the corridor remote area. Many heads are closer together than the allowed 8'-0". Heads in the corrior are blocked by a beam and will not provide coverage into the "pockets". The 2" wet system main supplied directly from the riser room has been rerouted and does not match plans. Where there were three elbows, there are now alot of tees which will add to the overall friction loss. While looking at the wet system I noticed that the side sammy's are not installed the minimum distance above the bottom of the truss as required by NFPA 13. I also verified Forrest Frances concern that the 1/4" shank side sammys are being used for piping exceeding 2 1/2" in diameter which is not allowed per the web site. The fitter did not have the specific model number of the attachment used. I let Ryan know that resubmittals will be required showing all of the changes prior to a fire sprinkler final.
