The purpose of this EC is to upgrade the fire sprinklers in MFC-721. A recent inspection of the fire sprinklers conducted by fire protection personnel revealed that the current sprinklers do not meet the standards listed in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13 Standards for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems due to their incorrect elevation and undersized piping. Therefore, the piping and sprinkler heads need to be replaced in order to meet current NFPA regulatory standards.
