Sprinkler main (w/ no outlets) running though electrical room
Sprinkler main (w/ no outlets) running though electrical room
(OP)
I am designing a job with 4 sprinkler systems. The mechanical room is next to the electrical room and the chase that 2 of my systems go into is on the other side of the electrical room.
Can I pass through the electrical room with the 2 mains if there are no outlets or couplings on the mains in that room?
I heard there are provisions for this but I cant find them in NFPA.
Any help would be appreciated!
