Sentence 4.10.8.2.(2)

  1. OS1
  2. OP1

Objective

OS1 Fire Safety

Attribution

Intent

Intent 1:

To supersede the requirements of Sentence 4.10.8.2.(1), which would otherwise require standpipe and hose stations conforming to Article 2.1.3.1. [which references the National Building Code of Canada, which references certain design and installation standards, which would require supply from risers], and permit small hose stations to be supplied from interior sprinkler piping, if certain measures are provided [the building is sprinklered in conformance with Article 2.1.3.1.].

This is to limit the probability that fire suppression operations using small hose stations will be ineffective in controlling or suppressing a fire, which could lead to the spread of the fire, which could lead to harm to persons.
