Sorry, not so...please provide documentation showing where that's stated. Whenever you use 13R you use the standard throughout the building except where specifically indicated by 13R. The only time 13R refers you back to NFPA 13 for areas outside the dwelling unit is primarily for discharge densities, spacing, etc and NOT sprinkler locations
You'll notice in the following appendix material for 6.8.2 that sprinkler LOCATION is not mentioned - deliberately. A.6.8.2 It is only the intent of NFPA 13R to reference the sprinkler discharge (flow and pressure), number of design sprinklers, and position of sprinklers (distance from walls, ceilings, and other sprinklers) requirements of NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems. Other rules from NFPA 13 such as sprinklering of combustible concealed spaces, hose stream demand, and water supply duration are not intended to be referenced by 6.8.2. --- On Fri, 2/11/11, G.
