SPRINKLERS INSTALLED IN AREAS THAT ARE INACCESSIBLE FOR SAFETY CONSIDERATION, DUE
TO PROCESS OPERATIONS "BLANK" BE "BLANK" DURING EACH SCHEDULED SHUTDOWN -
ANS SHALL BE INSPECTED
WHAT TYPE OF VALVE IS DESIGNED FOR THE PURPOSE OF REDUCING DOWNSTREAM WATER
PRESSURE UNDER BOTH RESIDUAL AND STATIC CONDITIONS? - ANS PRESSURE REDUCING
VALVE
