Code and listing acceptance for NYC
NYC Building Code. The NYC Building Code adopts NFPA 13 and NFPA 14 with NYC amendments and requires UL/FM listed sprinkler and standpipe piping components. All UV-series grooved fittings meet UL 213 and FM Class 1920 listing requirements.
FDNY acceptance. FDNY Technical Memorandum requires manufacturer’s certification of UL/FM listing for every sprinkler and standpipe component. ValveAtlas provides UL and FM certificates for every shipment.
High-rise Zone 2 / Zone 3 standpipe. Manhattan high-rise Zone 2 and Zone 3 standpipe risers require Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 steel pipe with UV11 rigid couplings and flanged fire pump discharge.
Public buildings and schools. NYC public-sector construction projects standardize on UL/FM listed grooved fittings for sprinkler and standpipe systems on public buildings, schools, libraries and civic projects.
Approved-equal submittals
Where a specification names a specific manufacturer, we prepare an approved-equal submittal package (listing certificates, dimensional drawings and material data) for review by the engineer of record and the authority having jurisdiction.
