603.1.2 Piping.
The use of combustible piping materials shall be permitted when installed in accordance with the limitations of the International Mechanical Code and the International Plumbing Code . (Substituted Uniform Plumbing Code per state adoption)
2009 UPC Section 1505.1
Combustible piping installations shall be protected in accordance with the appropriate fire resistance rating requirements in the Building Codethat list the acceptable area, height, and type of construction for use in specific occupancies to assure compliance and integrety of the fire resistance rating prescribed.
The previous BO took this section to mean PVC could not be exposed within the building and therefore permitted cast pipe only in exposed areas or above ceiling. I do not think the intent of this section is to limit combustible piping.
NFPA 13 Section 8.15.1.2.1 seems to agree when not requireing sprinklers in limited combustible spaces that may have plastic pipe installed
I think Washington & Ca still use UPC
What are your opinions?
