Cliff-
I agree with you, I'm just gonna split this into (2) systems w/QOD's and be 
done with it.

If it's only Listed for Tree Systems, will the AHJ accept it on a loop system?  
Sounds a little risky.  There must be some reason it's not Listed for loops.

I'd prefer to be on the safe/conservative side and make it 2 systems.

The FDT program will work with a single loop.

So that begs to question what are you supposed to do it you have a looped 
system?

If I recall correctly, it may work for a loop, depending on configuration, but 
it is not listed for loops. Only listed for tree systems.

Brian,

Unless they have changed the program in the last year or so, the FDT software 
will not work if your mains are looped. I believe it only works on a 'tree' 
type system.

Subject: Dry System Size

I assume with a dry system size of 1200 gallons my options are to add a 2nd dry 
valve and have (2) 600 gallon system with quick opening devices or run delivery 
time calc's and see if by chance it's under 60 seconds? If the latter is true 
what do most use to run theses calc's?
