Perhaps. If it’s supplying a standpipe system, a single PRV is not acceptable. [Steve Signature (3)] From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:sprinklerforum-boun...@lists.firesprinkler.org] On Behalf Of Fire Design Sent: Friday, July 13, 2018 3:32 PM To: sprinklerforum@lists.firesprinkler.org Subject:

Does the FDC line connect downstream of the PRV? Would the fire engine operator supply other than 150 psi to the FDC? Best. Bruce Verhei > On Jul 13, 2018, at 16:20, Tom Duross wrote: > > You’ll have #14 issues, if relevant and depending on adopted version. > I will say that in-series setup

You’ll have #14 issues, if relevant and depending on adopted version. I will say that in-series setup with bypasses in 2013 #14 is a real PITA to set due to valve creep. From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:sprinklerforum-boun...@lists.firesprinkler.org] On Behalf Of Fire Design Sent: Friday, July

Is there anything that restricts the use of a PRV after the discharge control valve on a fire pump? I have a ESFR storage building where I am designing to a “future” water supply which is much higher than the existing water supply. The fire pump must satisfy both existing and future conditions

Thanks guys... regarding 11.2.3.4.2. I always thought that was only good for a single row meaning all the sprinklers were directly on the line. In this case the sidewalls are fed from armovers coming from a looped main. Would this still apply? On Fri, Jul 13, 2018 at 10:28 AM, wrote: >

Hi Guys, I'm working on an apartment complex that is being designed per NFPA 13 standards (2016). All the rooms open from an exterior covered corridor that is 6 ft wide, combustible, and therefore requires sprinklers. I will need to use dry sidewall sprinklers for this and I see there are no

Travis is definitely right. We have a concept we use in NYC, as we run into this all the time, and in fact I am working on a building right now that is four level stackers. With that being said it is always a best guess without the guidance and the EOR should guide you. Mike Stossel SET

You are going to have to get the EOR that created your “engineered” drawing involved to give you a hazard since it doesn’t seem to be addressed in NFPA 13. You may want to try to contact the company that designed the robotic car system and see if they can give any guidance. I bet your EOR

Anyone have any experience with these new robotic parking buildings? My "engineered" plans are pretty bad. No hazard is given. I am going to assume the same as a parking garage? I don't see this as being too challenging, but I am wondering if there is some huge pitfall that I am not aware of. It's
