Could it reasonably meet the definition of "miscellaneous storage" in
13? If so, depending on the commodity, and height of storage, OH2 may
be the required design.

This facility has several systems and they have 8 or so single racks.
Most are about 50 feet long and installed up against a wall.
One riser may have a rack, one riser may not. Out of 20 risers that are
about 8 racks that are not anywhere near each other.

Subject: Re: Racks
Chris,
The commodity and storage arrangement (length, height, single, double, etc)
would need to be evaluated. Next the sprinkler system would need to be
hydraulically evaluated. At that point, you can determine if in rack
sprinklers are required.
One independent rack can be sprinklered and it could possible be fed from
the ceiling system. However, your post stated that this occurred in "a few
areas". That needs to be better defined.
The issue on type of inspection has been well covered by others and I won't
chime in on that.

Forum,
I performed an Inspection a few days ago and the building is design as
Ord2 with the exception of the shipping area which is Class 3.
I noticed in a few areas they have installed on single rack against
the outside wall with misc storage stacked at various heights.
I have never seen one independent rack sprinklered but it looks like
to me it should be.
Has anyone ran into this before? What did you do?
Thanks
