I know I have the the right answer but I just want to make sure.

I have an electric pump in a 20'x20' metal (metal siding with bent metal purlins) building.

The closest building, which is a fully sprinkled warehouse, is 130' distant.

NFPA #20 2016 Table 4.13.1.1.2 tells me the fire pump house does not require sprinklers.
 
I agree with you that no sprinklers are required in the fire pump house.

Thank you.

I knew it wasn't required but I didn't want to take a chance on my 3,000 head ESFR storage facility being turned down because I didn't have a couple heads in the pump house.
