Now I will have to locate the testing they mention. Brad -----Original Message----- From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Larry Keeping Sent: Monday, March 30, 2015 4:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Sprinklers in high areas NFPA 13-2013, in A.8.1.1 says (in part): A.8.1.1 .... Based upon experience and testing, sprinklers have been found to be effective and necessary at heights in excess of 50 ft (15.2 m). For a building to meet the intended level of protection afforded by NFPA13, sprinklers must not be omitted from such high ceiling spaces. The requirements of this standard should be used insofar as they are applicable. .... Larry Keeping -----Original Message----- From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brad Casterline Sent: March-30-15 4:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: We have an A.H.J. insisting on documentation that standard spray sprinklers are approved for installation heights of, in this case, 40 to 50 feet AFF. This is not storage- it is Atrium and similar. For discussion purposes, assume NFPA #13 (2013), please. We are thinking a sprinkler for this application is not height dependent. All construction is Non-Comb, some obstructed, some un-obstructed. I fear this might be a matter of "too generally known to be written down anywhere", but then the A.H.J. is not from this area. any sharing of thoughts or experience will be appreciated!!! thanks, Brad Casterline, NICET IV Fire Protection Division FSC, Inc.
