I have a 13R sprinkler system whose water supply is a 2" combination domestic/fire line run from the city main into the mechanical room. The plumber installed the line and pulled the proper permits for the installation of that domestic line. The plumber left a 2" outlet left inside of the building as a fire supply. The local building department uses an outside corporation to review and handle permits / inspections called NIC or National Inspection Corporation. NIC is requiring that we as the fire protection contractor are also required to apply and pull a permit and perform all tests required for a fire line on the 2" domestic service that was installed. I am looking for backup to argue this requirement as it seems redundant and unnecessary. I cannot find where this is specifically addressed either in NFPA codes or the IBC. Does anyone have any information that may be applicable to this situation? Thank you, Chris
