You are correct.

The air vent is required on each wet pipe system.

If we look at the definitions in chapter 3, you have separate systems each 
floor.

Subject: [Sprinklerforum] Air venting

Forumites,

I'm working on a multi-story building protected per NFPA 13.  As each floor has 
a separate control valve, is a means to vent trapped air required on each 
floor?  Or is it only required at the highest level of the building?

My thinking is that each floor has a separate fire sprinklers system.

Any thoughts?
