1) The plans are small in font type and difficult to read without a magnifying glass, and then, still not able to make out some of the data. NFPA 17A:6.3.1
The plans shall be drawn to an indicated scale or shall be suitably dimensioned and shall be reproducible.
---------------------------
Friday, March 17, 2023 DF: Plans resubmitted enlarged on a 11" x 8.5" paper. While the drawing is larger, the same issue of readable remains. The data has to be clear and readable.

2) From the nozzle number it appears you are using the ANSUL Piranha pre-engineered Suppression System.
Please provide a copy of the ANSUL PIRANHA manual so I can conduct a proper review.
---------------------------
Friday, March 17, 2023 DF: NO Response to comments. I am not able to confirm that this is an Ansul Piranha System.

4) Provide an appliance line up. I am looking for the fryer and stove (open flame) separation requirement of NFPA 96.12.1.2.4, 17A.5.1.2.
---------------------------
Friday, March 17, 2023 DF: NO Response to comments. However, I am able to determine from the plans that the fryers will have a splash guard or the appliances will be the minimum space apart.

5) Show on the plans the manual pull with location data minimums and maximums (see below).
Manual activation shall be located between 42 in. and 48 in. above the floor, be accessible in the event of a fire, be located in a path of egress, and clearly identify the hazard protected. It shall be located a minimum of 3 m (10 ft) and a maximum of 6 m (20 ft) from the protected kitchen appliance(s) within the path of egress. NFPA 96 10.5
---------------------------
Friday, March 17, 2023 DF:
No Response to Comments. I see the Manual station next to the system. This does not appear to meet the separation from the hood requirement noted above.
---------------------------
Tuesday, May 9, 2023 DF: RTC: Pull Station located 10'-20' on path of egress.
Tuesday, May 9, 2023 DF: Reviewer's Response: Above RTC not provided on the plans. this will be verified in the field by the Inspector at time of Fire Final.

11) I attempted to call you office several times today (Friday 02/17/23) but received the automated system. I tried dialing "0" and was told to try again later. I tried the dial by name and received a message that this number is not valid then it hanged up.
