The only reference to 101 is within 13, very first page pushing to Chapter 2 and Annex F. Where Chapter 2 doesn't reference it, but Annex F does.
And like everyone else, we have multiple jurisdictions to deal with, none of which will be definitive and will burden the PE with the liability. -----Original Message----- From: sprinklerforum-boun...@firesprinkler.org [mailto:sprinklerforum-boun...@firesprinkler.org] On Behalf Of Steve Leyton Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2012 4:35 PM To: sprinklerforum@firesprinkler.org Subject: Re: Stupid closet question... Does your state or jurisdiction formally adopt 101? (Most don't.). If 101 is equal to or supersedes the building code, you may be able to take it, but remember that it's Annex material. Most AHJ's see it as "code says to sprinkler per 13, 13 says to sprinkler it, so sprinkler it."

NFPA 13, 2010 - 8.15.8.2 Dwelling units, closets - hotels and motels they can be deleted, conditionally regarding the 24sf and 3ft rule. Annex D (Pulled from NFPA 101) in two separate areas (D1.1.6.1 & D2.19.2.1) states that closets under 12sf in dwelling units shall not be required to be sprinklered. The referenced 101 code is stated there as well... I'm looking at it that the paragraphs of 101 referencing closets under 12sf in dwelling units permits the omitting of sprinklers within these closets. (Not any with equipment of course). There are some others here that disagree, stating that since 13 addresses it, 101 isn't applicable and that heads are required in the closets period. Anyone else have this kind of throw down in your offices? _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list Sprinklerforum@firesprinkler.org http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list Sprinklerforum@firesprinkler.org http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list Sprinklerforum@firesprinkler.org http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum
