Residential Fire Sprinkler Design – Considerations for Sprinkler Location, Coverage and Spacing

Residential fire sprinkler system design is not as complicated as that for commercial systems. However, there are several important items to consider to ensure that the systems provide the desired protection. No design consideration has any greater impact on the success of a residential sprinkler system than the proper spacing, coverage, and location of the sprinklers. A common design mistake involves the improper layout of the sprinklers. This webinar discusses the steps involved in sprinkler layout as well as reviews common ceiling configurations that cause the most trouble when applying prescriptive rules. It examines several scenarios and demonstrates how to develop solutions. Anyone who designs, installs or inspects residential sprinkler systems will not want to miss this very informative and interactive presentation. Instructor: Steven Scandaliato, SET, CFPS
