Just to clarify, between the 47 and the 16 is a 32" wide opening in the wall, floor to ceiling. If the barrier is required between bathrooms, I need 3 heads because the shower enclosure is glass!

I have 87 ft2 overall bathroom, broken up into 3 compartments: 24 ft2 shower enclosure floor to wall, 47 ft2 with a sink, and 16 ft2 with toilet. If the thermal barrier is between a bathroom and a non bathroom, I think no sprinklers required, as we have the typical metal stud and gyp walls between these 3 bathrooms and the non-bathroom spaces. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Tysinger [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 31, 2012 8:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: thermal barrier I would assume you are referencing NFPA 13R, 2002 edition. In the 2007 edition the requirement for the thermal barrier has been removed. 2002 edition, section 6.8.2 - thermal barrier required. 2007 edition, section 6.9.2 - not required Eric Tysinger CET NICET III - 108988 Project Manager - Fort Myers Branch Wayne Automatic Fire Sprinklers, Inc. 4683 Laredo Ave. Fort Myers, Florida 33905 p: (239)433-3030 x1240 f: (239)433-3263 C: (239)633-9703 For Fire Alarm Service and Monitoring questions contact us at: [email protected] "Ask us how we can eliminate your Fire Alarm phone line bills" "Ask us about CCTV, Access Control and Security" Thank you, and have a great day ! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brad Casterline Sent: Friday, August 31, 2012 9:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: thermal barrier I searched the archives and found: "The thermal barrier is between the bathroom and the adjacent space". The statement was made by Mr. Craig L. Prahl.
