Ron, Aside from NFPA-13 and 13R the International Building Code's "Balconies, Decks and Similar Projections" includes provisions for sprinkler protection of these appurtenances. 2006 IBC 903.3.1.2.1 and 1406.3
John Drucker Fire Protection Subcode Official New Jersey -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Russell Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 12:20 PM To: AFSA Subject: Balconies Is a balcony that is open on only one side considered "open and attached" as referred to in NFPA13R? Is a patio which is open on two sides but screened be considered "open and attached"? Why wouldn't a balcony that qualifies as "open and attached" need to be sprinklered? What has "open" got to do with it if the balcony is too far off the ground to jump without killing yourself? Thanks, Ronnie Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
