A kitchen in a restaurant encompasses an area of just over 700 ft2 (65 m2) with 2-hour fire rated walls. Does this meet the definition of a small room?
A kitchen area of over 700 ft in a restaurant typically does not meet the definition of a 'small room' in fire protection terminology, as it exceeds common size thresholds for such a classification, which often consider both the area and the specific use or hazard of the space.
Which Occupancy Classification is a machine shop considered?
A machine shop is typically considered an Ordinary Hazard Group 1 occupancy due to the moderate level of fire load, including the presence of combustible materials, machinery, and processes that produce sparks or hot metal. This classification guides the design and installation of sprinkler systems to address the specific fire risks associated with such environments.
A new office area located inside a warehouse space is being designed as a light hazard occupancy. This office area
may be protected with
A new office area designed as a light hazard occupancy can be adequately protected using standard-response spray sprinklers. These sprinklers are suitable for environments with low fire load densities, such as office spaces.
Extra high temperature sprinklers should be tested every
Extra-high, very extra-high, or ultra-high temperature, solder-type fire sprinklers exposed to very hot environments---test every 5 years
Some fire sprinkler environments, like industrial facilities, are extremely hot, and sprinklers with very high, very extra-high, and ultra-high temperature ratings are used above equipment like ovens, furnaces, and boilers. The ambient heat can cause the meltable solder to migrate in fusible-link fire sprinklers (the ones without glass bulbs), affecting their ability to activate. Where these models are in such environments for at least five years, fire sprinkler testing must be done every five years:
From the 2023 edition of NFPA 25 5.3.1.1.1.3* Where solder-type sprinklers with a temperature classification of extra high [325F (163C) or greater] are installed and exposed to semi-continuous to continuous maximum allowable ambient temperature conditions for 5 years, one of the following shall occur: (1) The sprinklers shall be replaced. (2) Representative samples of the sprinklers shall be tested and then retested every 5 years.
When using a 1.5 in. (40 mm) outlet on a hose connection, an approved pressure-regulating device shall be installed
when the residual pressure exceeds what value?
When the residual pressure at a 1.5 in. hose connection exceeds 100 psi, an approved pressure-regulating device is typically required to ensure user safety and to prevent damage to equipment connected to the hose outlet. This helps maintain manageable hose stream pressures for firefighting operations.
