Dan, That is incorrect information. This is still a requirement in NFPA 13. Some had previously reported that FM was planning to remove it from the FM Data Sheet requirements. Someone was confused, as it has not, nor was it ever planned to be removed. In fact, as currently worded, the FM requirement could lead to including MORE than 2 additional heads in an ESFR remote area.

The nominal number is 12. There was a requirement to add 2 heads if there are heads installed below beams or AC ducts. If I'm not wrong the addition of 2 heads was abolished. Please confirm or correct me, Dan Arbel _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
