Greetings all !
I am reviewing plans for a military facility......The plans indicate
a new Fire Water Supply Line ( 6" ) that will enter the property
and then in to one of the facility bldgs.......I do not see any type
of "Shut Off Valves" from where the municipal water supply line
is "tapped" at the street, nor anywhere along the entire length
of the piping run........There is also a FDC line that will begin
close to the facility property line & be installed parallel along
side of the new 6" Fire Water Supply Line.......There are no
"Shut Off Valves" indicated on this piping either !
QUESTION: Is it "required by Code" to have a "Shut Off Valve"
installed downstream immediately after the municipal line is
"tapped", and also, ...before it enters the facility bldg. ?
If so, ...can you please provide the Code section or section ?
We are currently using the `15 I-Codes, and the Unified Facilities
Criteria ( UFC ) Codes.
Thank you for your assistance !
