Correct, it will be a second stair for the upper level until you get to the first full floor at level 10. Then your be roughly in the middle of the floor and would travel to either end of the building to the full set of stairs down to the ground floor.

In other words, it doesn't just go from an upper floor down 3 levels to a lobby, it stays in an exit passageway and you go horizontally on the transfer floor to a different stairwell for the rest of the trip down to exit discharge, is that right?

And the ahj is calling it a required exit Jerry Van Kolken On Apr 30, 2018, at 16:01, Steve Leyton <[email protected]> wrote: Why is there a "partial stairwell"? Is it classified as required exit stair or a convenience stair? Steve L. From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jerry Van Kolken Sent: Monday, April 30, 2018 3:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Secondary Standpipe on Upper Levels I have a 12 story project with a partial stairwell on the top 3 floors. The AHJ is requiring a standpipe at this partial stairwell. My question is to I need to run another vertical feed from the pump on the first floor, or can I do a horizontal feed off the standpipe in the opposite stairwell on the upper level?
