Refer to TYCO's web site. They have a good paper explaining residential heads used in a NFPA 13 application. It is titled "Residential Sprinklers Use in NFPA 13 Applications A technical Analysis" by James Golinveaux. I can forward the paper if you contact me off line.

What if the door were left open...or more likely...what if the door had a door closer and it was chocked open. I know, we can do "what ifs" until another WTC happens... but there are a LOT of tradeoffs given for sprinklers, deservedly so. Therefore, those of us designing the sprinklers live up to the responsibility given us. Make SURE the sprinklers do their job. One sprinkler design-areas don´t cut the mustard for me. What are we really saving in terms of pipe, versus the downside we would be exposing the industry to? scot deal excelsior fire _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
