Is there anything in NFPA 13 that states you can NOT use residential
sprinklers in an I-2 occupancy? We have done these many times, but I am
getting rejected from a local AHJ that says you can't use residential
sprinklers in an I-2 occupancy. This is an identical building to a
project that was done about 3 miles away in an adjacent jurisdiction
without any issues.
I have presented him with:
6.2.4.1 Residential Sprinklers. *Residential sprinklers shall be
permitted to be listed for portions of residential occupancies as
defined in 8.4.5.1.*
8.4.5.1* *Residential sprinklers shall be permitted in dwelling units
and their adjoining corridors, provided they are installed in
conformance with their listing*.
3.3.8 Dwelling Unit. One or more rooms arranged for the use of one or
more individuals living together, as in a single housekeeping unit
normally having cooking, living, sanitary, and sleeping facilities. For
purposes of this standard, dwelling unit includes hotel rooms, dormitory
rooms, apartments, condominiums,*sleeping rooms in nursing homes, and
similar living units*.
