Good Morning Everyone,
Our design team is debating the use of residential heads in stairways.
For a predominately residential occupancy (like an apartment) designed
to 2016 NFPA 13R, do stairways qualify for residential heads under
6.2.2.2 (8) “Other areas with fire loads similar to residential fire loads”?
If the design is to 2016 NFPA 13 instead, can a stairway be considered
“corridor” to meet the requirement of 8.4.5.1 for use of residential heads?

Do the sprinklers etc need corrosion protection from the stored
product as well?

For paint spray areas, we bag our heads. It sounds like your
environment would be similar. The following is from the 2019
edition of NFPA-13 for reference.
Thank you,

Good morning
I trust that everyone is well
I currently have a project in Geelong Australia where the product
bulk stored within the buildings make for a extremely dusty
environment when unloading.
Sprinkler protection is proposed to protect the building and
wanted to ask the question about “excessive loading of
sprinklers” and what the best option would be to minimise this
I am aware that NFPA 25 mentions this, our code in Australia does
not mention this term but states that yearly the sprinklers must
be visually checked and suggest that a more stringent maintenance
routine be in place for these environments.
The product bulk stored is phosphate rock typically and is used
for the fertiliser manufacturing plant across the road.
Any suggestions to the above query would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Michael Paul de Gabriele
