We have to remember that the Building Code tells us when to sprinkle and 13 tells us how to sprinkle. A fully sprinklered building is fully sprinklered. Ive read numerous "informal interpretations" on pool areas but they are consistent in that the 13 committee considers it an area that needs sprinklered.

One of the examples is "areas over and around swimming pools", which sort of suggest those areas are to be sprinklered. I haven't looked at the Building or Fire Code. * PARSLEY CONSULTING * Ken Wagoner 760.745.6181 voice 760.745.0537 fax website: www.ParsleyConsulting.com <http://www.ParsleyConsulting.com> On 1/22/2014 2:19 PM, accentf...@aol.com wrote: > Guyz/Gals: > > > I know that, at one time, there was a 'blurb' about sprinkler protection over > swimming pool areas.
