Mr. Bilbo:
Our esteemed State Building Standards Commission has amended NFPA 13 to exclude
the quick response area reduction for ordinary hazard. We also have an
amendment that when a reduction is taken, the design area shall be 7 sprinklers
minimum and not 5.
Sincerely and spologetically,California

Subject: RE: Quick Response Reduction
Mr Stites,
You may care to review the four requirements for using the Quick Response
Reduction (Is that 11.2.3.2.3?) One of the "Design Advantage" strategies is to
use the QR Redux in Ordinary Hazard and this can significantly affect the cost
of a system. Yo.
It should be recognized that the above is my opinion as a member of the NFPA,
and has not been processed as a formal interpretation in accordance with the
NFPA Regulations Governing Committee Projects and should therefore not be
considered, nor relied upon, as the official position of the the NFPA, nor any
of their technical committees.
Sincerely,
