If so, look at those exceptions very carefully. Paul J. Pinigis, P.E. Chief Life Safety Engineer -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 11:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Interpretation of nfpa 13, 8.1.1(1) I've got a gypsum board mfg. facility. Several areas are unsprinkled as permitted by the IFB due to the lack of hazard present and building separations. I also have hazardous storage, paper storage and offices which are sprinkled, again in accordance with the IFB and IFC. The AHJ is saying that if we sprinkler anything then EVERYTHING needs to be sprinkled regardless of what the building code says based on 8.1.1(1). "Sprinklers shall be installed throughout the premises." Does anyone have a formal interpretation on this sentence? If he has his way I'd have to protect 500,000 sf of finished gypboard. Craig L.
