Ihe designation of a high-piled combustible storage area, or por- tion thereof, is allowed to be based on a lower hazard class than that of the highest class of commodity stored when a limited quantity of the higher hazard commodity has been demonstrated by engineering analysis to be adequately pro- tected by the automatic sprinkler system provided. The engi- neering analysis shall consider the ability of the sprinkler system to deliver the higher density required by the higher hazard commodity. The higher density shall be based on the actual storage height of the pile or rack and the minimum allowable design area for sprinkler operation as set forth in the density/area figures provided in NFPA 13. The contigu- ous area occupied by the higher hazard commodity shall not exceed 120 square feet (11 m2) and additional areas of higher hazard commodity shall be separated from other such areas by 25 feet (7620 mm) or more. The sprinkler system shall be capable of delivering the higher density over a minimum area of 900 square feet (84 m2) for wet pipe systems and 1,200 square feet (111 m2) for dry pipe systems. The shape of the design area shall be in accordance with Section 903. SECTION 3205 HOUSEKEEPING AND MAINTENANCE 3205.1 Rack structures.

Chapter 12 General Requirements for Storage 12.1 General. The requirements of Section 12.1 shall apply to all storage arrangements and commodities other than miscel- laneous storage (see Chapter 13) and as modified by specific sections in Chapter 14 through Chapter 20. 12.1.1 Roof Vents and Draft Curtains. See Section C.6. 12.1.1.1* Manually operated roof vents or automatic roof vents with operating elements that have a higher temperature classification than the automatic sprinklers shall be permitted. 12.1.1.2 Early suppression fast-response (ESFR) sprinklers shall not be used in buildings with automatic heat or smoke vents unless the vents use a high-temperature rated, standard- response operating mechanism. 12.1.1.3* Draft curtains shall not be used within ESFR sprin- kler systems. 12.1.1.3.1 Draft curtains separating ESFR sprinklers at system breaks or from control mode sprinklers or between hazards shall be permitted. (See 8.4.6.4.) 12.1.2 Ceiling Slope. The sprinkler system criteria specified in Chapter 12 and Chapters 14 through 20 are intended to apply to buildings with ceiling slopes not exceeding 2 in 12 (16.7 percent) unless modified by a specific section in Chap- ter 12 and Chapters 14 through 20. 12.1.3* Building and Storage Height. 12.1.3.1 The maximum building height shall be measured to the underside of the roof deck or ceiling. 12.1.3.2 ESFR sprinklers shall be used only in buildings equal to, or less than, the height of the building for which they have been listed. 12.1.3.3 The sprinkler system design shall be based on the stor- age height and clearance to ceiling that routinely or periodically exist in the building and create the greatest water demand. Where storage is placed above doors, the storage height shall be calculated from the base of storage above the door. 12.1.3.4 Clearance to Ceiling. 12.1.3.4.1* The clearance to ceiling shall be measured in ac- cordance with 12.1.3.4.1.1 through 12.1.3.4.1.3. 12.1.3.4.1.1 For corrugated metal deck roofs up to 3 in. (76 mm) in depth, the clearance to ceiling shall be measured from the top of storage to the bottom of the deck. 12.1.3.4.1.2 For corrugated metal deck roofs deeper than 3 in. (76 mm), the clearance to ceiling shall be measured to the highest point on the deck. 12.1.3.4.1.3 For ceilings that have insulation attached di- rectly to underside of the ceiling or roof structure, the clear- ance to ceiling shall be measured from the top of storage to the bottom of the insulation and shall be in accordance with 12.1.3.4.1.3(A) or 12.1.3.4.1.3(B). For insulation that is attached directly to the ceiling or roof structure and is installed flat and parallel to the ceiling or roof structure, the clearance to ceiling shall be measured from the top of storage to the underside of the insulation. For insulation that is installed in a manner that causes it to deflect or sag down from the ceiling or roof structure, the clearance to ceiling shall be measured from the top of storage to a point half of the distance of the deflection from the insu- lation high point to the insulation low point. If the deflection or sag in the insulation exceeds 6 in. (152 mm), the clearance LO ceiling shall be measured from the top of storage to the high point of the insulation. 12.1.3.4.2 For spray sprinkler criteria where the clearance to ceiling exceeds those identified in this section, the require- ments of 12.1.3.4.3 through 12.1.3.4.8 shall apply. 12.1.3.4.3 Where the clearance to ceiling exceeds 20 ft (6.1 m) for Chapters 14 and 15, protection shall be based upon the storage height that would result in a clearance to ceiling of 20 ft (6.1 m). 12.1.3.4.4 Where the clearance to ceiling exceeds 20 ft (6.1 m) for Section 16.2, protection shall be based upon the storage height that would result in a clearance to ceiling of 20 ft (6.1 m) or providing one level of supplemental, quick- response in-rack sprinklers located directly below the top tier of storage and at every flue space intersection.

For sys- 12.8.3 Water allowance for outside hose shall be added to the tems with multiple hazard classifications, the hose stream al- sprinkler requirement at the connection to the city main or a lowance and water supply duration shall be in accordance with yard hydrant, whichever is closer to the system riser. Section 12.8 as well as one of the following: I 2013 Edition I 12.8.4 Where inside hose connections are planned or are required, the following shall apply: A total water allowance of 50 gpm (189 L/min) for a single hose connection installation shall be added to the sprinkler requirements. A total water allowance of 100 gpm (378 L/min) for a multiple hose connection installation shall be added to the sprinkler requirements. The water allowance shall be added in 50 gpm (189 L/min) increments beginning at the most remote hose connection, with each increment added at the pressure required by the sprinkler system design at that point. 12.8.5 When hose valves for fire department use are attached to wet pipe sprinkler system risers in accordance with 8.17.5.2, the following shall apply: The water supply shall not be required to be added to standpipe demand as determined from NFPA 14. Where the combined sprinkler system demand and hose stream allowance of Chapter 12 and Chapters 14 through 20 exceeds the requirements of NFPA 14, this higher de- mand shall be used. For partially sprinklered buildings, the sprinkler demand, not including hose stream allowance, as indicated in Chapter 12 and Chapters 14 through 20 shall be added to the requirements given in NFPA 14. 12.8.6 Hydraulically Designed Occupancy Hazard Fire Control Sprinkler System. 12.8.6.1 H. h i..Hi . ii H..

I Li I I I I I I I I I I I I I I The water supply requirements for the highest hazard classification within the system shall be used. The water supply requirements for each individual hazard classification shall be used in the calculations for the de- sign area for that hazard. (3)*For systems with multiple hazard classifications where the higher classification only lies within single rooms less than or equal to 400 ft2 (37.2 m2) in area with no such rooms adjacent, the water supply requirements for the principal occupancy shall be used for the remainder of the system. 12.7.3 The calculations shall satisfy any single point on ap- propriate density/area curves. 12.7.4 The minimum water supply requirements shall be determined by adding the hose stream allowance from Sec- tion 12.8 to the water supply for sprinklers as determined by Chapter 12 through Chapter 20. 12.7.5 The minimum water supply requirements determined from 12.7.4 shall be available for the minimum duration speci- fied in Section 12.8. 12.7.6 Total system water supply requirements shall be deter- mined in accordance with the hydraulic calculation proce- dures of Chapter 23. 12.7.6.1 When using the density/area method, the design area shall meet the requirements of 23.4.4.1.1.1. 12.7.6.2 When using CMSA, the design area shall meet the requirements of 23.4.4.2.1. 12.7.6.3 When using ESFR sprinklers, the design area shall consist of the most hydraulically demanding area of 12 sprin- klers, consisting of four sprinklers on each of three branch lines, unless other specific numbers of design sprinklers are required in other sections of this standard. 12.7.7 Multiple Adjustments. 12.7.7.1 Where multiple adjustments to the area of operation are required to be made, these adjustments shall be com- pounded based on the area of operation originally selected. 12.7.7.2 If the building has unsprinklered combustible con- cealed spaces, the rules of Section 12.9 shall be applied after all other modifications have been made. 12.7.7.3 The minimum design density for any sprinkler sys- tem installed in a storage occupancy shall be not less than 0.15 gpm/ft2 (6.1 mm/mm) after all adjustments are made. 12.8 Hose Stream Allowance and Water Supply Duration. 12.8.1* Tanks shall be sized to supply the equipment that they serve. 12.8.2* Pumps shall be sized to supply the equipment that they serve.
