Right. And I have run into locales where a #13D is acceptable for a day care, egress is the only concern. In the first that comes to mind, we sprinklered portions of a church used as daycare, along with the egress corridors, with #13D and a 2-head flow, #13D tank and pump.
There is no restriction on # of floors with a tank and pump as supply. The para under supplies was simply an option to offer a cost savings (less water storage) if you had a dinky house with quick egress. glc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Russell Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 9:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: 13D buildings Sorry, I mis-wrote when I wrote "This suggests to me that it can have more floors if the system is supplied by a tank as the sole supply." I meant to write "This suggests to me that it can have more floors if the sole supply is NOT a tank". Anyway, I would think that there would be some floor limits, but must not. I missed the earlier forum discussion you referenced.

Nothing to do with the scope of the standard. I saw nothing in the scope of the standard offering evidence of a restriction, hence the discussions on this Forum of 20,000 SF homes with bowling alleys, parking garages, etc. glc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Russell Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 8:05 AM To: AFSA Subject: 13D buildings I need help finding something again. Becoming a habit lately. How many stories can a 13D building have? The only reference to this is in the water supply section under tanks as the sole supply where it states that one of the requirements is the building cannot be more than one story. This suggests to me that it can have more floors if the system is supplied by a tank as the sole supply. I'm looking at a two story building with 2400 s.f. each level.
