Re: Indoor Amusement Ride - Carousel

I have done one but didn't protect the carousel just the building. It was old and from Germany and was refinished and a new wood structure built around it. It operated on a hydraulic system. Heads at the roof level protection Head under the large soffits and ticket booths, heads under the

How about a meteor strikes the mall?How about a heard of wild bison stampede through the building, impeding egress and trapping guests under the canopy? How about … we stay focused on the technical stuff and not imagine scenarios and then react to those scenarios leading to an overnight

RE: Indoor Amusement Ride - Carousel

Keep in mind that the pan is steel and the canopy could also be configured in panels so that it's open. It can even be made of indoor/outdoor fabric like Sunbrella®. If you want to buy a copy of my report ... JUST KIDDING STEVE! SML From: Sprinklerforum

RE: Indoor Amusement Ride - Carousel

Thank you for the reply and the research number to support your stance. Our "gut feeling" what this shouldn't be an issue. Sprinklers above to cool if it catches fire. Easy egress for passengers if it did catch on fire. But didn't have anything to substantiate our "feelings". Looks like

RE: Indoor Amusement Ride - Carousel

I did a technical report a few years ago for a carousel that was moved into a covered mall. If it's modern, the figures are made of polymer resin, which when cured has a FP of 800-900°F if I recall correctly.Turns out that carousels aren't really much of a hazard in that regard, but you

Indoor Amusement Ride - Carousel

For a Carousel Amusement Ride located indoors, has anyone had to provide sprinklers under the roof canopy directly above the people riding the ride? We have sprinklers at the roof of the building the carousel is located within. If we have to do this, logistically it will be interesting. I do

Re: CPVC above a garage

I don't believe you can. Otherwise, why would that exception need to be in there? The concealed space is always LH...well probably 99% of the time. Travis Mack, SET MFP Design, LLC 2508 E Lodgepole Drive Gilbert, AZ 85298 480-505-9271 fax: 866-430-6107 email:tm...@mfpdesign.com

CPVC above a garage

NFPA 13 (07ed) Can CPVC pipe be used to protect the interstitial space (CC2 sprinklers) and supply the pendant sprinklers in a garage (OH I occupancy) greater that 400SF? My thoughts are that it is allowed since the space above is considered light hazard. Thanks, Dewayne
