Wirenuts- You didn't convince me. I'm going to give you the one about the Class A being fed from both ends. Now bear in mind this would only be true if the wire were cut. If the wires were shorted your dead in the water. As for the eol, it should be on the as-built or plans as submitted. In this day and age of addressable equipment it's hard to justify the cost of a Class A system and as a result I don't see Class A specified at all. I've been an inspector for 25 years and only once and possibly twice have I seen a plan that asked for a Class A System.
There are other ways of accomplishing the same level of monitoring, for example multiple zones on a Class B system. With multiple zones you could lose one zone and still have coverage with the other zones.
