I beg the Forum's pardon. I should know better than to post from home
(snow day in Kansas. I have a good memory, it's just short). I think
vertical mullions not being an obstruction makes sense though,
otherwise the listing would not distiguish?

Not to be picky but IBC 2013? Don't ya mean '12? What section are
you referring to that sprinkler rating equivalent changed? I can
think of two areas that had rating tied to sprinklers, atriums and
substitute for 1 hour construction. Did they change?

Subject: RE: Window sprinklers
I think only horizontal mullions are considered an obstruction to
wetting the glass. Also, in IBC 2013, the sprinkler equivalent for
Fire Rated is no longer approved.
Quoting Rod DiBona <[email protected]>:
Pretty sure you do. The mullion acts as a barrier. More than likely if
you present the dilemma to the A/E team they change the window.

I have two windows, each 2'-6" wide, separated by a vertical mullion.
Do I need two window sprinklers?
