F ESFR sprinklers as required by Section 8.3.2.5. However, the tenant has an issue with the requirement of the unit heaters to be installed 7 ft below the elevation of the sprinklers per Section 8.3.2.5.

“Are PIV's or wall PIV's required on a sprinkler system? All the AHJ's in Tennessee believe that they are. I started in the sprinkler business in Michigan and we rarely used PIV's. Section A.8.16.1.1.1 states that a water supply shall not extend into a building unless it is under the control of an outside indicating valve or an inside indicating valve located near the outside wall of a building. Every system that we install has an indicating valve inside near an exterior wall of the building on the backflow assembly. Why would I also need a PIV? Even if there was a PIV showing open on the window, you could still have a valve inside on the backflow assembly that is closed so what is the point?” In response to your question, we have reviewed
