Can anyone please assist with a recommendation for a “clean room” sprinkler where the clean rooms are designed to be negative pressure (for compounding dangerous drugs).
The concealed sprinkler cut sheets that I’ve looked at online generally say that the concealed heads cannot be used in negative pressure rooms (positive pressure plenums) and this is the type of room design that we require. The FlexHead cleanroom ceiling sprinkler connection doesn’t appear to be easy to clean after installation. What type of quick response sprinkler could be used in a negative pressure room that is readily and easily cleanable? Users wanted to used concealed sprinklers as they thought that the concealed sprinklers would be easy to wipe down when necessary, but we don’t want to violate the installation instructions on the cut sheets that state that the concealed sprinklers can’t be used with positive pressure plenums (negative pressure rooms). Thanks in advance. Pete Larrimer VA From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Reed A. Roisum, SET Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2017 2:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] NFPA 13 edition in Wisconsin I am finding conflicting answers as to what edition of NFPA 13 is applicable in Wisconsin. It appears as though IBC 2009 is the applicable building code, which references NFPA 13, 2007 edition. However, I have in my notes that NFPA 13, 2010 edition is the applicable edition for some reason. It may be because I believe NFPA 1, 2012 edition is the adopted fire code and that would reference NFPA 13, 2010 edition?? Can anyone point me to something definitive for Wisconsin’s applicable edition of NFPA 13? Thank you. Reed Reed A.
