We just finished a layout for NAVFAC PACDIV, for a 2 story dorm. Poured concrete construction, full height concrete walls, floors and roof, every 24'-0" with only 30'-0" front to back.(5200 Sf per floor total) UFC say's you can use 13R, NAVFAC say's NO. UFC say's reduced area for QR heads, NAVFAC say's NO. So we have a two story concrete dorm with a 3000SF design area, 250 GPM hose at the base of riser, and 6" riser and 4" mains, for a job where if we flowed every head between the concrete walls (6) and were overflowing 4 of them, we'd still only need a 3" underground, with 2" mains. Your Tax $$$ at work.

You are however allowed to discount for use of QR heads applied to that 3,000 sf.
