This may vary by state. We've done engineered stand-alone booths, but they were located in a rated room where paint is also stored and mixed. The question was about a framed compartment - the rest is the architect's issue.

If it is a high school it should be an E-occupancy. Spraying in an E-occupancy normally requires a paint spray room. Booths are not an option in E occupancies. See IFC 2404.2, IBC, IMC, and adopted electrical code. Was the booth installed under benefit of permit? bv ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Leyton" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, July 26, 2013 12:14:37 PM Subject: RE: Paint booth Not sure there's a recognized 90 minute assembly. There are one and two hour, but I think the architect would have a hard time gaining approval for a 90 minute assembly without an appeal or approval of alternative means and methods of construction. For this type of booth (we've done 3 in high schools recently) the industry standard for pre manufactured is either one or two hour. Steve "J.P.

If the room is under 2500 sq ft it will make a big difference in the water supply and storage. J.P.

Steve Leyton Protection Design & Consulting San Diego, CA -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of Douglas Hicks Sent: Fri 7/26/2013 10:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Paint booth I have been asked by a local school district about protecting an automotive paint booth. The catch, the booth is 2 x 4 framed, covered with sheet rock. The exhaust duct work does not have filters, and the exhaust fan may not be rated for hazardous paint fumes. The booth does not meet any UL standards, so I cannot install a dry chemical suppression system. Will a water based sprinkler work? _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.o rg _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.o rg ----- No se encontraron virus en este mensaje.
