In 2010, 23.1.1: "Number of Supplies. Every automatic sprinkler system shall have at least one automatic water supply" However, I did not see anything (admittedly quick review) that says that sprinklers shall be installed on a piping network (thus creating a "system"). It does say install per

UG 5 ft outside building

Is there a rational explanation why the sprinkler contractor should bring in the last piece of underground from 5 ft outside the building? Todd G Williams, PE Fire Protection Design/Consulting Stonington, CT 860-535-2080 (ofc) 860-608-4559 (cell) Sent using CloudMagic

History part 2

If you remember, a couple of weeks back I posted a question regarding a pipe schedule system in a building from 1884. I went up this morning and mapped out the systems. As best I can figure, the pipe schedule goes something like this: 3/4" - 1 sprinkler 1" - 3 1-1/4" - 6 1-1/2" - 10 2" - 21

I've had very good luck with HP, but I am not doing anywhere near the volume. You are working on print shop quantities so that puts it in a different league. Todd G Williams, PE Fire Protection Design/Consulting Stonington, CT 860-535-2080 (ofc) 860-608-4559 (cell) Sent using CloudMagic

Old pipe schedule

I am working on a project in a mill that was constructed in 1884. On the top floor, the branch piping is 3/4 - 1 - 1. Was there an older version of pipe schedule that allowed smaller pipe or is this just undersized? Hopefully some of you history buffs (or at least those with a bunch of old

Minimum duct size for sprinklers

I am working with a facility that makes envelopes and other office paper products. They have an exhaust duct system which feeds twin collectors outside. The collectors have built in sprinklers and 1" outlets to connect to. The owner wants to connect to the sprinklers in the collector, but a

Re: Friday PE Question

CT requires either a PE stamp or designer's stamp (state issued certification with a NICET III or IV requirement) on all sprinkler drawings, regardless of criteria. Consequently, I have stamped 13D systems. It is overkill if you are dealing with experienced and ethical designers. Otherwise,

Re: Pool as Firewater Source

You might have a health code issue with that. How could you prevent someone from getting stuck in a suction line? There are strict requirements as far as pool recirculating drains and I am not sure you could meet those with a fire pump suction line. That could create a huge liability problem. I
