GENERAL COMMENTS:
The required backflow protection (double check valve) for the sprinkler systems can be located on the riser if the riser is within 100 feet of the water main, measured linearly along
the length of the pipe. If the riser is further than 100 feet from the main, the double check valve shall be in a vault. Riser rooms shall be a minimum of 5’X5’ if the double check
is located in a vault, or a minimum of 6’X6’ if it is located on the riser. (Label riser room location to determine termination point of riser piping, and indicate size of the riser
room)
The HDPE 2.5” water line is not allowed to be tapped into the fire protection line that enters the building for the fire sprinkler suppression system.
FIRE LANE COMMENTS:
Fire apparatus access needs to be an all-weather surface, asphalt or concrete, 24 feet wide and able to support the imposed loads of fire apparatus. (Minimum of 85,000 pounds GVW).
The fire lanes appear to be less than the required 24-foot width in some areas.
Fire lanes require a minimum 30 foot inside turn radius and a minimum 54 foot outside turn radius. (Per 2018 I.F.C. Sec. 503.2.4)
