Who remembers Tri-Water Systems?   Someone should come up with a multi-purpose 
system for car washes ...  Roland, would I have to use Darcy-Weisbach for soapy 
water?

Subject: RE: Heads in Car Wash

We recently completed a car wash. 

We had to sprinkle the machine, electrical, and convenience store rooms. The 
actual wash bay was excluded. Owner paid for all galvanized schedule 40 pipe 
and stainless steel sprinkler heads. They had originally considered stainless 
steel piping.

Hi Brian you didn't say where it was, how big or what code your under, but if 
you go to definitions under the IBC A-5 occupancy will see car washes. Then go 
to 903.2.1.5 and you will see when sprinklers are required if where you are at 
is under the 2009 IBC.
