Why would an A&E desighn a sprinkler riser in such a way that the existing water main to tape into is 6 inch, but the A&E is desighning an 8 inch on top of the 6 inch pipe as it enters the facility ?
Is it normal to go from a 6 inch supply line to a 8 inch riser?
If so why?

What is the cubic foot size of "H" type oxygen cylinder?
There seem to be a lot of requirements for storage/use of these cylinders after 300 cubic feet size bottles.

Is there a minimum sq ft reg for not having to install suppression? like less than 200 sg ft ? I read the bathroom and closet stuff. But what about just another small room ?
Is anyone really putting sprinklers in new houses? As per, NFPA 101, paragraph 24.3.5.1
The building boom around my area is going like crazy and not one those houses have a sprinkler in it.
