Code and listing acceptance for Toronto
Ontario Building Code. The OBC adopts NFPA 13 for sprinkler installation in Toronto. NFPA 13 specifies UL/FM/ULC listed steel pipe per ASTM A53, ASTM A135 or ASTM A795. ABP-SCH10 and ABP-SCH40 meet ASTM A53/A135 chemical and mechanical property requirements.
NFPA 13 pipe and fittings. NFPA 13 requires UL/FM listed steel pipe and specifies hanger spacing and pipe joining methods. All stock pipe we supply meets NFPA 13 requirements for wet, dry and pre-action system installation.
Toronto Fire Services and TSSA. TFS inspectors accept UL/FM/ULC listed sprinkler pipe at final inspection with mill test certificate documentation. TSSA registered sprinkler contractors use our stock pipe for Toronto high-rise and assembly occupancy installations.
School boards and universities. Toronto school board and university campus construction accept UL/FM listed sprinkler pipe on submittal. Public sector bid packages standardized on UL/FM/ULC triple-listed stock.
