Re: Using Flex Head Connection from CPVV

My top of the head guess is that this would be allowed. I have never heard of any concerns or restrictions with this approach. *The above is my opinion and has not been processed as a formal interpretation in accordance with the NFPA Regulations Governing Committee Projects. This is provided with

RE: Open or exterior corridors

Dane, "shall be equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1 (NFPA 13) or 903.3.1.2. (NPFA 13R)". Based on this wording, the sprinklers in the open exterior corridors are not required since you are providing sprinkler coverage throughout in accordance

Standpipe Hangers

There's a rule I remember but cannot find for the life of me. When is a hanger required on the horizontal piping from a standpipe to a hose valve? I believe it's 18" but cannot justify it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Taylor Schumacher CET J-Berd Mechanical/Security Fire Sprinkler/Berd Ele

RE: Open or exterior corridors

Don't forget that corridors are egress paths and have limitations on length if sprinklered versus unsprinklered. To provide sprinklers or not may not necessarily be addressed by NFPA but may be a Building/Fire Code issue. Sometimes as sprinkler designers, it's easy to think NFPA 13 is the all i

RE: Open or exterior corridors

What in the IBC is requiring this, the only difference I'm aware of (which is no longer a difference at least in the last cycle or two) is that Type V construction requires protection of porch/patio/decks. I don't believe an exit corridor falls within those requirements? The intent was to coun

Open or exterior corridors

I have a 13R project with exterior open corridors as seen in 13R (2016) Figure A.6.6.5(a). Per the IBC were being required to provide protection. Can I apply 6.6.5.1.1? 6.6.5.1.1 Where sidewall sprinklers are installed beneath decks or balconies constructed with open wood joists, sprinklers shall
