    Sprinkler riser size

    Is there a simple formula or website for the calcs? It looks to me that in my case that NFPA 13, 15.1.3.2 will apply; I would liek to run some rough numbers to see if what the A&E gives me is close. Joe G. Willett Jacksonville, AR

    Sprinkler riser size

    thanks, I'm not a mechanical PE so I do not know all the ins and outs of hydro calcs, but I suppose they just need to go to a larger pipe size to get the required GPM and pressure at each sprinkler head and to be sure they can certify the system in within code. Joe G. Willett Jacksonville, AR
