Flag explanation

The project clause specifies a minimum residual pressure of 65 psi at the topmost outlet of the standpipe riser. Per code 905.2.4, where the pressure at nozzles is more than 65 psi, a pressure reducing device or disk must be installed to limit the force of the hose stream to 90 pounds so it can be safely handled. Since the project clause sets the residual pressure exactly at the 65 psi threshold, it must be verified that no downstream nozzle pressure exceeds 65 psi (accounting for hose/nozzle losses), or pressure-reducing devices must be provided at the 1.5-inch hose valves as required by 905.2.4. As written, the clause does not address this requirement and could result in nozzle pressures at or above the 65 psi threshold without the mandated pressure-reducing device.

These candidates are local amendments to the national model building code (e.g. IBC), not the full code. You may draw on your own general knowledge of standard model-code provisions to judge whether the project clause is consistent with normal practice, but any conflict you report must be grounded in - and cite - one of the local amendment clauses shown above, since those are the only things a human reviewer can independently verify against this jurisdiction's actual adopted text.

Does the project clause conflict with or fail to meet any of these code requirements? Call report_conflicts with your findings, or an empty conflicts list if there's no real conflict.
