????Thanks Les,
With these 4 plexes having 2 units on the second floor they trigger a fdc.

Gary
,
I did those back an April and were returned then, I did not keep a set, I returned all of them. If I remember correctly, you were on vacation when I drooped them, but I not sure
if it was this project or another, but I know they were returned.
As for the FDC, here is the NFPA language.
6.7.4.1 At least one fire department connection shall be provided for buildings, accessible by a fire department, that exceed 2000 ft2 (186 m2) or are more than a single story.
6.7.4.2 Fire department connections shall be at least 1½ in. (38 mm).
When I review sprinkler plans I review the calcs back to the water source, I don’t remember in this case what the configuration was, but I can review the civils if you need, but
I will need a copy of the sprinkler plans if you can find them.

Les,
The reason I am looking for the drawing is the civil drawings are incomplete. I may need you to review the plan from the service to the building if that has not been done yet.
The civil’s intent is to tap a 2” line for the protection and then reduce it to 1-1/2” before a 1-1/2” meter. He shows no valves, or cross connection. The line is metered separately
from the domestic. I have an old copy of NFPA 13-R that does not show an FDC. Let me know if that is required because none is shown now.
Thanks
Gary
