There is a possible conflict between 2007 NFPA 13 8.6.4.1.4.3 and a manufacturers minimum separation distance rule.
8:12 > roof > 4:12 minimum separation of sprinklers is 8ft minimum distance from eave 5 ft along the eave. if we put one sprinkler at the peak and the downslope sprinklers > 5ft from the eave, I end up with sprinklers closer than 8 ft to the peak sprinkler. The slope is only long enough to take one sprinkler at the peak, and another along the slopes toward each eave. I am in favor of voiding the 8 ft manufacturer spacing, rather than setting a sprinkler down in the small apex of the eave. scot deal excelsior engineering _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
