General:
Refer to the Division 1 sections for general coordination requirements
applicable to the entire work. The Contractor shall recognize that the
Contract Documents are diagrammatic in showing certain physical
relationships that must be established within the mechanical and electrical
work, and in its interface with other work including utilities and that such
establishment is the exclusive responsibility of the Contractor. This
Contractor shall be responsible for work fitting in place without conflict with
other trades, where proper planning could avoid interference. This
Contractor shall examine the locations and verify all measurements,
distances, elevations and existing conditions before starting work. Because
the drawings are diagrammatic and on a small scale, all rises, drops, offsets,
etc., have not been shown. The Contractor shall agree to provide and install
the necessary piping, fittings, valves, duets, duct fittings and offsets, and
other specialties to suit such conditions without additional cost to the
Owner. Mechanical drawings shall not be used for general construction
dimensions or for type of material used for general construction. For exact
building layout, dimensions and building materials used Contractor shall
refer to Architectural Drawings.

floors and there designs are coordinated by the local
fire departments and fire marshals.
Consideration for interior materials is paramount
Codes and structural components need to meet
National Fire Codes.

An automatic water supply provides water under
pressure to the system piping.
Wet Systems
Water is in branch lines and at the sprinkler
heads at all times
Wet Systems cannot be in areas that may
freeze
Water pressure must be maintained at all
times
Water Pumps are put in place to keep water
pressure at a certain PSI
There is no delay in time that water is put on
the fire
Require the least amount of maintenance
