14X-5-504.4 Standpipes.

Existing structures must be equipped with standpipes installed in accordance with Section 905 of the Chicago Building Code where required in Sections 14X-5-504.4.1 through 14X-5-504.4.4. The fire code official is authorized to approve the installation of manual dry or manual wet standpipe systems to achieve compliance with this section. Exceptions: 1. Occupancies with existing, permitted standpipes. 2. Standpipes are not required in grain elevators or similar storage structures where standpipes would be ineffective due to the type of structure and inaccessibility of hose connections.
