Code and listing acceptance for NYC
2022 NYC Building Code. The NYC Building Code adopts NFPA 13 with NYC amendments. Deluge and water spray systems required for aircraft hangars, transformer yards and petrochemical loading per NFPA 13, NFPA 15 and NFPA 11.
FDNY acceptance. FDNY requirements govern fire protection system installation, acceptance testing and commissioning, including deluge valve trim, releasing panel integration, detection layout, water delivery time verification and foam proportioning accuracy.
NFPA 13, NFPA 15 and NFPA 11. NFPA 13 (deluge systems), NFPA 15 (water spray) and NFPA 11 (foam-water deluge) govern NYC deluge valve installation.
NFPA 409 Aircraft Hangars and NFPA 30 Flammable Liquids. NFPA 409 Group I/II/III/IV hangars require foam-water deluge. NFPA 30 tank farms and loading racks require deluge or foam-water per ignitable liquid classification.
