If a glass face of a shower door goes up adjacent to the ceiling (and the bathroom is not excluded from sprinkler protection based on size) then would the shower itself need sprinkler protection?
Based on the proximity of the shower's glass door to the ceiling it looks like it would be a floor mounted obstruction, per NFPA 13. Posted anonymously by a member for discussion. Discuss this | Subscribe.

There's no exclusion for just the shower enclosure - only for small bathrooms in dwelling units under NFPA 13.

I recently encountered this for a project that we were reviewing and it was determined based on the code that the enclosure was in fact considered a separate compartment, but due to its size it did not require an additional sprinkler. And because of the separation the bathroom would no longer require coverage either. But the contractor opted to not remove the sprinkler in the bathrooms due to this technicality. Leave a Reply. |
