Be careful, the 2006 IBC contains language that supercedes NFPA-13. The 2006 IBC code language at 903.3.1.1 specifically states;" .....sprinklers shall be installed throughout in accordance with NFPA 13 EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 903.1.1.1.1, 903.3.1.2 AND 903.3.1.3" (Emphasis mine)

Jack W. Carlson, SET Triple "A" Fire Protection, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg McGahan Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 11:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: definition of "throughout" Does any one have a definitive definition of the term "protected throughout by an approved, supervised automatic sprinkler system" means in relation to 13 vs 13R vs 13D? I believe there is something in the IBC commentary about this. Is a building NOT protected "throughout" if the heads in allowable bathrooms and/or closets are omitted?
