Definition of a Sprinkler System.1011. A sprinkler system, for fire protection purposes, is anintegrated system of underground and overhead piping designedin accordance with fire protection engineering standards. Thesystem includes a suitable water supply, such as a gravity tank,fire pump, reservoir or pressure tank and/or connection by underground piping to a city main. The portion of the sprinklersystem above ground is a network of specially sized or hydraulically designed piping installed in a building, structure orarea, generally overhead, and to which sprinklers are connectedin a systematic pattern. The system includes a controlling valveand a device for actuating an alarm when the system is in operation. The system is usually activated by heat from a fire anddischarges water over the fire area.NOTE: The design and installation of water supply facilities such asgravity tanks, fire pumps, reservoirs or pressure tanks, and undergroundpiping are covered by NFPA Standards No. 22, Water Tanks For PrivateFire Protection; No. 20, Installation of Centrifugal Fire Pumps andNo. 24, Outside Protection.1020. Scope.1021. This Standard is in general the minimum for theinstallation of sprinkler systems for fire protection in buildingshousing one or more of the following or similar Light, Ordinaryor Extra Hazard Occupancies, except where additional rules areamendatory to this standard for Extra Hazard Occupancies ascovered by separate standards.1030. Other Pamphlets.1031. Separately published standards referred to hereindeal with fire pumps, tanks, and various other related features.A selected list of other publications related to the installation ofsprinkler systems is published at the end of this Standard.1040. Maintenance.1041. A sprinkler system installed under this Standardmust be properly maintained for efficient service. The owner is

The installing contractor shall provide the ownerwith:(a) Instruction charts describing operation and propermaintenance of sprinkler devices. ,(b) Published pamphlet on Care and Maintenance ofSprin ler Systems. (NFPA No. 13A.)1050. Impairments.1051. Before shutting off a section of the fire service systemto make sprinkler system connections, notify the authority having jurisdiction, plan the work carefully, and assemble all materials to enable completion in shortest possible time. Workstarted on connections should be rushed to completion withoutinterruption, and protection restored as promptly as possible.During the impairment, provide emergency hose lines, additionalfire pails and extinguishers, and maintain extra watch service inthe areas affected.1052. When changes involve shutting off water from anyconsiderable number of sprinklers for more than a few hours,temporary water supply connections should be made to sprinkler systems so that reasonable protection can be maintained.In adding to old systems or revamping them, protection shouldbe restored each night so far as possible. The members of theprivate fire brigade as well as public fire department should benotified as to conditions.1100. Preparation of Building.1110. General.1111. All needless ceiling sheathing, hollow siding, tops ofhigh shelving, partitions or decks should be removed. Sheathingof paper and similar light flammable materials is particularlyobjectionable.1112. Necessary "stops" to check draft, necessary newpartitions, closets, decks, etc., should be put in place, or provided for, so that the sprinkler equipment may conform to same.1113. Frequently, additional sprinkler equipment can beavoided by cutting down the width of decks or galleries and providing proper clearances. (See Paragraphs 4313, 4315 and 4318.)Slatting of decks and walkways as a substitute for automaticsprinklers thereunder is not acceptable. The use of cloth orpaper dust tops for rooms forms obstruction to water distribution. If employed, the area below should be sprinklered.

Cutting holes through partitions, either solid orslatted, to allow sprinklers on one side thereof to distribute waterto the other side is not effectual.1115. Where wood cornices on masonry buildings face anexposure they should be replaced with a parapet, or the projecting woodwork should be cut away and metal flashing extendedto cover the exposed edge of planking, or suitable sprinkler protection should be provided.Q1120. Separation of Sprinklered a n d N o n s p r i n k l e r e dAreas.1121. Complete sprinkler protection is desirable and recommended in all cases, but where buildings or portions of buildingsof combustible construction, or containing combustible contents,are not equipped with sprinklers, standard cutoffs should beprovided between the sprinklered and unsprinklered buildingsor areas, with all openings protected in a standard manner andno sprinkler supply piping should be run in the unsprinkleredareas.
