Does anyone have a good definition for what 11.1.2 means by "Barrier" or "Partition" (NFPA 13 2002 ed). I have a friend who has an AHJ telling him that an 8" concrete full height wall with two door openings in it does not qualify. My understanding of this is that this is a perfectly acceptable barrier since the purpose of the barrier is to prevent fusing of the sprinklers from one area to another. The reason the question arises is that this AHJ wants to extend a new .55 / 2500 sf area through the concrete wall and into an existing .2 / 1500 sf system. Without being too obvious, the original system has no possibility of providing this density, let alone the proper spacing of sprinklers. Anyway, any help will be appreciated.
