Craig,

Without spending time to dig thru 13, I believe that is correct.

Subject: Preaction area increase

Need clarification:

Based on NFPA 13, 11.2.3.2.5 only DIPA systems require the 30% area
increase.  This does not apply to Single or Non-interlocked PA systems.


NFPA 13, 2007, 12.5.1 area increase of 30% only applies to preaction systems
installed in storage areas.

Correct?
