-----Original Message----- From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Travis Mack, SET Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2015 3:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: General Storage Per NFPA 13, system size is limited to 52k sq ft. Of that, only 40k sq ft can be storage/EH areas. So, if there were 10k sq ft of non-storage space and 40k sq ft of storage space, then it would be correct. If there is only storage/EH areas, then system size is obviously limited to 40k sq ft.
