We live in a 4-unit coop and the plumber who does our monthly and annual sprinkler test inspections sent us a flyer re. new rules that require sprinkler piping be painted red (http://www.nyc.gov/html/dob/downloads/pdf/standpipe_sprinkler_flyer.pdf).

It’s not the entire system. NO branch piping such as the horizontal members running across your ceiling and what not. Your plumber should of given you a clearer answer then just sending you the flyer.
