In my opinion, the small room rule can be used. I believe the 225 sq ft and 130 sq ft limits are there to restrict the use of special sprinklers, not to limit the use of other NFPA 13 spacing rules.

This effectively rules out extended coverage sprinklers, but does it also rule out the small room rule for light hazard areas? thanks, ed aero _______________________________________________ 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) _______________________________________________ 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)
