Here is my situation:

I have a standpipe riser located in the stair. At the top of the standpipe riser, where a cap is normally found, the Contractor has installed a dry pipe valve in line with the riser. The dry pipe valve feeds the dry system on the roof.

Although this is an odd place for a dry pipe valve, I see it as no different than installing a horizontal floor control assembly off the riser for the top floor.

Any thoughts on this. 2010 edition of NFPA 13 and 14.

I tried to post a pic but it doesnt work! (or I just dont know how)

Thank you!!
 
Easy to reach and work on?

Can fireman reach it with ease?

Heated area I assume
 
I've seen this several times. Nothing wrong with it, provided they have the drains to handle draining the system.
