Is there a standard spacing for private fire hydrants?
No applicable code for this project, but looking for guidance in what would be common under NFPA 24, NFPA 1 / 101, and/or the IBC. Thanks in advance. Submitted anonymously and posted for discussion. Discuss This | Submit Your Question | Subscribe

NFPA 1 Section 13.2.2.2, a Class I standpipe is not required in buildings less than three stories or less than 50-ft high above grade.
If we have a huge industrial complex or storage occupancy of 60,000 square meters (645,000 sqft), should we not require a standpipe system if it is only one floor above grade with a total height of 40-feet? Looks strange to me. Posted anonymously for discussion. Discuss This | Submit Your Question | Subscribe |
