If no exceptions exist, what have others done to avoid interference with the playing areas? Note: This is a Daily Discussion question submitted anonymously to us by a toolkit member. Discuss This Here.

It is my belief that there is no such exception. I’ve also seen an informal interpretation from one of the sprinkler associations claiming the same. I’ve used concealed sprinklers, granted the cover-plates will eventually get knocked off. With a little searching you can find small cage “head guards” that are made to screw to the ceiling – I’ve used those once over some low sprinklers in a gymnasium. But 6.2.8 wants listed guards. I wonder how a Tyco Raven might hold up?

Could you consider a low profile institutional sprinklers?

I like this option - if you were able to do low-profile institutional sidewall sprinklers at the highest possible location, then they'd be less likely to get hit and could likely withstand direct contact if they did.

Combustible loading is low so could you get away with a PBD option and not have sprinklered protection? example, more exists?

If it's an NFPA 13 system where sprinklers are required throughout, the requirement would be by NFPA 13 2002-2016 Section 8.1.1(1) without any allowances for omission. Leave a Reply. |
