RE: Heads

Bobby, Check the Georgia code amendments. Years ago, when I lived in Atlanta, they allowed re-using heads in some circumstances. Eric J. Shelton, PE Senior Fire Protection Engineer Associate Hankins and Anderson Consulting Engineers 4880 Sadler Road Suite 300 Glen Allen, VA 23060   v: (804)

RE: Window Sprinkler for Fire Rated Assemblies

This report, ESR-2397 appears to be an update to NER-516, dated January 1, 2004. While I haven't done a detailed comparison, one difference that pops out at me is the following. (Old text from NER-516): 7.8 All combustible materials shall be kept 2 inches (51 mm) from the face of the glass.

RE: Limited Area sprinkler systems

Actually, the IBC section on limited area sprinkler systems goes up to 19 heads (fewer than 20). It also requires a hydraulic calc with a simultaneous plumbing demand. Eric J. Shelton, PE Senior Fire Protection Engineer Hankins and Anderson Consulting Engineers 4880 Sadler Road Suite 300

5:45 PM To: Eric Shelton Subject: Re: High Density Art Storage Hello Eric, I just happened to see 21.36.1.2 but it does not mention a specific density. Looks like NFPA 909 might give some guidance. Friday, July 27, 2007, 4:53:07 PM, you wrote: I have a museum with a system of high density

RE: Dry System with Pendents

I went down his road once, thinking that if an area wasn't subject to freezing then a dry system can't be used. After all, that's just the reverse of the requirement that if an area IS subject to freezing then a dry system MUST be used. There are some who specify this, but after doing much

High Density Art Storage

I have a museum with a system of high density storage units used for storing small paintings and sculptures, some of which is crated. It is similar to the units used for records storage, being about 8'6 high with 24 deep shelves, with two back-to-back shelves per unit. The units are manual;

Pipe Schedule

I am evaluating an existing pipe schedule system that was installed in 1961 in an old house. It is now used as a business-type occupancy and the AHJ has asked that the system be evaluated to the current (1999) edition of NFPA 13. In addition to evaluating the available flow and pressure against

RE: sprinkler accident sets off Seattle electrical fire

A similar event happened in Richmond a few years ago. An electrician stuck a tool in a live bus duct in a 19th floor electrical room and set off fireworks that activated the two sprinklers in the room. Water totally flooded several floors below and traveled down the elevator shaft until it

RE: Elevator Code

I haven't seen a 2006 version of ASME A17.1 nor is one listed for sale on their web site, so perhaps he's referring to a proposed change that is yet to be published. I do recall several months ago (on this forum, I think) someone posting about a proposed change that would require pre-action in
