Update….These are racks that are in front of the loading docks which have “high lift “ overhead doors so there is a clear area in front of each door under the rack level. The AHJ wants HSW sprinklers under the racks in these areas because they are over 4ft wide and if they are full of product will act like an overhead door. I don’t feel we need additional protection here….Who Is right?

Never mind, I found it in the definition of single row rack – 6ft wide. *From:* Dewayne Martinez [mailto:[email protected]] *Sent:* Friday, April 21, 2017 6:54 AM *To:* [email protected] *Cc:* [email protected] *Subject:* Racks wider than 4ft...sprinklers needed below? NFPA 13 (07ed) I have an inspector that is requesting in-rack sprinklers for a single row rack located along an outside wall because the rack shelves are wider than 4ft (open shelve). The OHS is capable of protecting the racks W/O in-rack sprinklers. Is there something in NFPA to address this either way? Thanks, Dewayne
