606.1 Location of full-open valves. Full-open valves shall be installed in the following locations:
5. On the top of every water down-feed pipe in occupancies other than one- and two-family residential occupancies.

commentary speaks of vertical pipes "through one or more stories"....In a single story, multi tenant building. Do you guys require valves on all "drops"?......For example, each exam room in a doctors office.....? Or is the intent multi story only?

Thanks!

Saw that one MT, but it is not what the commentary shows or speaks of.....Commentary shows a vertical riser with "drops" down to specific areas....But only shows multistory even though the language in the commentary references single story....
