Automatic sprinkler systems are better protection than a fire department since the sprinkler systems would react to fire faster than the fire department could. However, they can work together. The fire department can respond after the automatic sprinkler systems. The automatic sprinkler systems need to work well so that in case of fire, the sprinklers actually function as they should. The sprinklers need to be used in warm climates or in heated areas. (Hammer & Price, 2001, p.

“Are PIV's or wall PIV's required on a sprinkler system? All the AHJ's in Tennessee believe that they are. I started in the sprinkler business in Michigan and we rarely used PIV's. Section A.8.16.1.1.1 states that a water supply shall not extend into a building unless it is under the control of an outside indicating valve or an inside indicating valve located near the outside wall of a building. Every system that we install has an indicating valve inside near an exterior wall of the building on the backflow assembly. Why would I also need a PIV? Even if there was a PIV showing open on the window, you could still have a valve inside on the backflow assembly that is closed so what is the point?” In response to your question, we have reviewed

You asked the following questions: “We have a project that is utilizing ESFR K-16.8 sprinklers. The building is heated with electric unit heaters. Near the unit heaters we are installing 212 deg. F ESFR sprinklers as required by Section 8.3.2.5. However, the tenant has an issue with the requirement of the unit heaters to be installed 7 ft below the elevation of the sprinklers per Section 8.3.2.5. The tenant feels the heaters being installed at the lower elevation will conflict with their operations with racks and forklifts. Is there any relief to the 7 ft clearance requirement below the sprinklers in this case?” In response to your questions we have reviewed NFPA 13, 2013 edition that you indicated as the applicable standard.

The automatic fire sprinkler system was one of the earliest sprinkler systems placed into effect. The origin of the modern day automatic sprinkler system dates back to the early 1800’s. The first automatic sprinkler system was created in England in the 1806 by John Carey. It consisted of a pipe with valves held closed by counterweights attached by string. When flames burned through the string the counterweight dropped to the floor, which opened the valve that released the water and extinguished the fire. As the 1800’s progressed, the basic pipe system for sprinklers was becoming more prevalent across England. It began to pop up in textile mills all through out the country. In 1864, as sprinkler system use grew, Major Stewart Harrison of
