Tenant Name: Macy's (corridor) Occupancy Type: Exit
Address: '3 gp%48. SW Washington Sq Occupant Load:
Hazard: Ordinary
The plan review was performed under the State of Oregon Structural Specialty Code (OSSC) 2004 edition,
Oregon Fire Code 2004 edition; and NFPA 13. The submitted plans are approved subject to the following.
HYDROSTATIC TESTING
Hydrostatic testing of the system shall occur at sprinkler final. The contractor's material and
test certificate required by NFPA 13, 16.1 shall be completed and signed by both the installer
and building owner.
TESTING :: - Section 16.2.1
1. Unless permitted by 16.2.1.2 through 16.2.1.6, all piping and attached appurtenances subjected to
system working pressure shall be hydrostatically tested at 200 psi (13.8 bar) and shall maintain that
pressure without loss for 2 hours. Loss shall be determined by a drop in gauge pressure or visual
leakage. The test pressure shall be read from a gauge located at the low elevation point of the system
or portion being tested.
WATERFLOWALARMS: - Section 6.9.1
2. Water flow alarm apparatus shall be listed for the service and so constructed and installed that any flow
of water from a sprinkler system equal to or greater than that from a single automatic sprinkler of the

the individual product listings.
SWAY BRACING: - Section 9.3.5 - 9.3.5.8
6. The system piping shall be braced to resist both lateral and longitudinal horizontal seismic loads and to
prevent vertical motion resulting from seismic loads. The structural components to which bracing is
attached shall be determined to be capable of carrying the added applied seismic loads. Sway braces
shall be designed to withstand forces in tension and compression. Bracing shall be attached directly to
feed and cross mains.
SPARE SPRINKLERS: - Section 6.2.9
