13 R heads in closets
13 R heads in closets
(OP)
13 R has an exception for installing heads in closets only accessible from outside an apartment [such as from a balcony] with no unprotected openings into the apt. [6.9.7 of nfpa 13r 2007] However, 6.9.4 says if it has heating equipment in it, it gets sprinklered. Do you normally put a sprinkler in outside utility closet or not?

The 2010 edition explain better and adds in the 6.9.4 reference(except as permitted by 6.9.7.)
The reference numbers in 2010 are a bit different than 2007. (6.6.4 & 6.6.7)
