Where is the heat going? NFPA 13 gives the area. You cannot reduce due to elevation. It is nothing more than a large ceiling transition. R/ Matt Matthew J. Willis Design Manager /3-D Specialist Rapid Fire Protection Inc. 1530 Samco Road Rapid City, SD 57702 Office-605.34

Re: Institutional sprinklers in 13R

I wasn't sure I could justify these rooms as outside the dwelling unit when the crux of my argument is that the entire building is a dwelling unit. I told the owner that if we went with institutional sprinklers, we would need to change the design to NFPA 13, at an additional cos

It's a tough call without seeming the drawing and/or visiting the building. Without NFPA 13 (or other technical source) guidance, it comes down to engineering judgement. Todd G Williams, PE Fire Protection Design/Consulting Stonington, CT 860-535-2080 (tel:860-535-208

Church Steeple

Hello, I have a very tall but narrow church steeple to protect. At the peak, there is a single sprinkler head, with the lower levels having between 2 and 4 sprinklers at each level. I am having a problem determining the heads to include in my design area. The levels are not closed off from e

RE: Sprinkler in vertical duct

If you have a spray booth with combustible or flammable materials then look at 2016 NFPA 13, 22.4. You will have to provide a minimum of 30 gpm with 15 psi end head pressure. There is no mention of orientation or type of sprinkler to be installed in various orientations of the duct. Craig L. P

Re: Sprinkler in vertical duct

I accepted a lot of dry pendants. Is there a requirement other than 1/2” or 9/16”? As long as you can meet than 7psi when all the heads in the both and plenum are operating. Does that 15psi you see in horizontal ducts apply? If you’ve ever seen one of these heads operating it is a lot of water.

RE: Sprinkler in vertical duct

Dig into the areas of 13 about that. I don’t have the reference off hand, but you have provisions to use sprinklers in different orientations for the exhaust duct. So, just put a pendent sprinkler in the horizontal position. Travis Mack, SET MFP Design, LLC 3356 E Vallejo Ct Gilbert, A

Re: Sprinkler in vertical duct

My assumption is since the spray booth is EH2, the associated duct would be the same. I need to use K11.2 sprinklers because I only have a 39 psi static pressure. There is no EH listed K11.2 dry (or regular) sidewall. It seems that whatever type of sprinkler you put in an 18" or 24" duct,

I am working on a group home which is being designed as NFPA 13R (2010). The owner is requiring instutional sprinklers in the bedrooms only. I cannot find any institutional residential sprinklers, so we are going to have to use commercial QR instutional sprinklers. Section 6.2.1.3.1 states
