George,
Does the Quell system require higher overhead densities than the dry systems
with in-rack sprinklers? I am wondering because I have an owner who has an
existing system in a cheese storage facility and can't use the racks because
they keep hit the in-rack sprinklers.
Thanks,
Randy Knutson
I hope the manual valve is a long way off, and upwind.

Viking had a real good design guide. Got it on PDF and old fashioned paper.
There are several variables that need to be determined before distances are
established. But 2-3 ft was generally the norm in most (not all) cases.
First thing to consider is whether water spray is the appropriate medi

I acquired a design guide to special hazards several years ago from a
company I used to work for.
In it they recommend approx. 2'-0" for vessels either horz or vert.
This guide was written back in 1987, not sure if it's changed since I
haven't designed one in quite some time.

I recently wrestled with something similar (pun
intended). I am working on a project where the
gym will have a poured rubber floor,
approximately 1/2" thick. I looked at the MSDS
for the product and the flame spread was less
than 25 and was shown not to sustain combustion

I wouldn't consider the floor material in this case to be an additional
hazard warranting a change in the sprinkler density.
Wrestling mats are often rolled-up and stored against walls; their
less-dense composition could arguably add to a fire even when flat on
the floor. But the high density rub

Karen,
You might also check with the local AHJ, as some situations and
conditions are designated as requiring
standpipes by local codes which are not directly related to IBC or IFC
language.
As an example, there's a district here in Southern California which
requires all multi-family buildin
That is going to be in the building code. If you are using the IBC, the
height of the building dictates the necessity of standpipes.

Generally its when the top occupied floor is 30' above the lowest level of
FD entrance that a SP is required under IBC.

Check section 905 of the IFC or IBC.
Remember generally speaking the building code tells you when it's
required and the NFPA standards tell you how to do it.

It's found in chapter 9 of the IBC. The building code will provide the when
to sprinkler or provide standpipes and NFPA 13 & 14 will tell how to do it.

I have a question for anyone working today. There is a code somewhere that
states when a standpipe must be used. I have searched through NFPA 14 and 13
and can not find the code. Does anyone know what and where that information
is?
