hood suppression maintenance vs. permitted work

"C"

We only evaluate it when new equipment (additional bottles, valves tubing & piping etc.) is installed or requested. Switching out links, cable, bottles etc. with new stuff (as necessary) is all maintenance practice as required by the installation standard in my humble opinion.

Thanks, FM.

It appears the contractor replaced a large amount of piping and is trying to pass it off as "maintenance", I have no idea what was in place before.
 
new business in existing restatuant or same one that has been there for awhile???
 
My opinion:

403.1 Scope. Level 1 alterations include the removal and replacement or the covering of existing materials, elements, equipment, or fixtures using new materials, elements, equipment, or fixtures that serve the same purpose.

If your municipality requires permits for alterations, they need to submit.
