Well, it took me 90 seconds to be wrong. BK has long installed sprinklers in every stand alone restaurant. If building code or sprinkler code required, they do full system per NFPA 13. If not they install a less than 13 intended to provide protection below the ceiling. Goal is to improve exiting, and control many fires, though less than a 13 system.
I've even seen an FDC on one of these at a drive through. Why I don't know. bv Smaller portions? I'd guess I am not the only one on the forum who does not need a large portion. Both BK and McD still sell a single burger, even if it is not on the drive-thru reader board. You just have to ask for it. ~250 calories. About what I need for a lunch. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig Prahl " <Craig.

Then 901.2 Exception would say a system is permitted to be installed for partial or complete protection "provided that such system meets the requirements of this code". I'd say a letter to the contractor would be the next step, referring to the code sections above. "Meets the requirements" could be broadly interpreted to mean sprinklering only a part of the building, selecting materials per NFPA 13, spacing heads per NFPA 13, or some other selection of requirements from NFPA 13.

I've never done a BK before, so what I'm about to describe seems ridiculous. The design criteria is based on a PE proto type from 1978. This is what the contractor was given and told to use as "spec". There are combustible concealed spaces above ceilings throughout premises, but no sprinkler protection is to be provided. The design criteria is 6 sprinklers over 653 sf in the dining area. To be calc'ed light hazard. That's it. Has anyone out here in forum land provided the system for a BK lately? What was required/done?
