I think you are correct for your described situation: you have a noncombustible overhang, under 4 ft, with no storage underneath, then no sprinklers is OK.
It sure seems to me like we don't have to install sprinklers under *combustible* overhangs 4 ft or less as long as there is no storage underneath. It doesn't say this explicitly (it just doesn't require sprinklers there, it doesn't specifically omit them), so maybe there is a reason for that? -Skyler On Tue, Oct 5, 2021, 6:40 PM James Crawford via Sprinklerforum < [email protected]> wrote: > We have been discussing exterior projections in the office and with an AHJ > on when sprinklers are required. > > Section 8.15.7.1 Unless the requirements of 8.15.7.2, 8.15.7.3. or > 8.15.7.3 are met, sprinklers shall be installed under exterior projections > exceeding 4'-0" in width. > > Section 8.15.7.5 Sprinklers shall be installed under exterior projections > greater than 2'-0" wide over areas where combustibles are stored. > > Canopy is less than 4'-0" in width, No vehicle storage, non-combustible > construction, not a corridor, so all items are met for 8.15.7.1, no > sprinklers required. > > But 8.15.7.5 seems to requires them because the canopy is over 2'-0" > > Normally we worked on the assumption less than 4'-0" and non-combustible, > no storage, no sprinklers required and the 2'-0" was for combustible > construction, over 2'-0" you required sprotection. > > What are we missing > > Thank You > > James Crawford > Phaser Fire Protection Ltd. > Phone 604-888-0318 > Cel: 604-790-0938 > Email [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > Web: www.phaserfire.ca<http://www.phaserfire.ca> > > _______________________________________________ > Sprinklerforum mailing list > [email protected] > > http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org > _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
