RE: Window sprinklers

I presume you mean a window with two panes separated by a vertical mullion. By most Codes/Rules: If the sprinkler/drencher is located centred on the mullion then one is OK. If mullion is less then 40mm proud of surface it can be ignored. Otherwise each pane of a window must be sprayed individually.

I beg the Forum's pardon. I should know better than to post from home (snow day in Kansas. I have a good memory, it's just short). I think vertical mullions not being an obstruction makes sense though, otherwise the listing would not distiguish? Quoting Justin Reid : IBC 2012, 703.4 Just

Not to be picky but IBC 2013? Don't ya mean '12? What section are you referring to that sprinkler rating equivalent changed? I can think of two areas that had rating tied to sprinklers, atriums and substitute for 1 hour construction. Did they change? Chris Cahill, PE* Senior Fire Protectio

I think only horizontal mullions are considered an obstruction to wetting the glass. Also, in IBC 2013, the sprinkler equivalent for Fire Rated is no longer approved. Quoting Rod DiBona : Pretty sure you do. The mullion acts as a barrier. More than likely if you present the dilemma to the
