NFPA 13 - Sprinkler in Residential Kitchen
NFPA 13 - Sprinkler in Residential Kitchen
(OP)
When designing sprinkler systems for residential (multi-family), does the placement of the sprinkler head in the kitchen area, does the 7'-6" standard max distance be taken from the wall behind the kitchen counter and cabinets or can it be taken from the face of the kitchen cabinet?





RE: NFPA 13 - Sprinkler in Residential Kitchen
Typically they are used in small rooms as defined by NFPA 13. Therefore, area per sprinkler for applying 0.1 is room area / # of sprinklers. Then, compare to data sheet.
So, if you have a 600 sq ft room with 3 sprinklers, the area per sprinkler for 0.1 is 200 sq ft. You may as well max out the sprinklers at 20' spacing because the listing of the sprinkler is typically 20 gpm for 20' spacing.
