While the IFC mandates seperate systems, it is realized that existing systems should have a little give, so the exception to exising mall systems is they (the tenant space) must have seperate control valves. The answer to your second question is Section 905.3.3. How you adopted the code locally and enforce it is up to the ordinance. Thanks, Jeff Hugo Ron,

If so, what code makes this mandate? Also, is a class1 hose standpipe required in an existing single-story covered mall building? If so, what code mandates this requirement?
