Table 12.3 .2.1.2 requires protection criteria with one level of in rack sprinklers is provided by figure
12.3.2.1.2(d), curve C, which prescribes a ceiling density of .35/3000.
After adjustment for storage height allowed by table 12.3.2.1.5.1, the required ceiling level density
area is:
.28/3000
Table 12.3.2.1.3 provides design criteria for multiple-row rack storage of class IV commodities stored
in rack depths up to 16 ft with aisles wider than 8 ft and storage up to 25 ft ft.
This table also directs us to figure 12 .3 .2 .1.2(d) - curve C with one level of in rack sprinkler required.
This table does not offer a ceiling only sprinkler option for this storage configuration with standard
spray sprinkler protection. The protection requirements prescribe a ceiling sprinkler density/area of
.35/3000.
After adjustment for storage height allowed by table 12.3.2.1.5.1, the required ceiling level density
area is:
.28/3000
Please note that all requirements outlined above are based upon Class IV Commodities (free flowing
group A plastics), which only applies to the raw materials storage.
Fire Sprinkler System Requirements - Finished Goods:
The finished goods are assembled and placed on trays in cardboard cartons, stored on pallet racks.
Figure 12.3 .3 .1.1 decision tree for rack storage of stable Group A plastics directs us to 12.3.3. Table
12.3 .3 .1.5(d) allows storage up to 20 ft with a ceiling clearance between the top of storage and the
ceiling level sprinklers with a ceiling density of .3 gpm/2000 sqft plus one level of in rack sprinklers

Sprinklers in the racks shall be located below the top tier and shall be spaced no more than 8 ft on
center, with 17/32 orifice sprinklers operating at 15 psi or 1/2" orifice sprinkler operating at 30 psi, at
the designer's discretion.
The design shall include 8 sprinklers operating per 12.3.3.4,3 (or all sprinklers where fewer than 8 are
provided).
Based upon the requirements for protection of all storage configurations proposed, this facility has an
adequate fire sprinkler system design (.33/3000) provided the tenant adds in rack sprinklers as
described above.
Alternate Arrangement:
As an ahernate to the addition of in-rack sprinklers as prescribed above, the tenant may provide the
ahernate option of replacing all sprinklers within the storage areas with listed special application
control mode (K-16.8) sprinklers. Under this alternate arrangement, in rack sprinklers would not be
required.
Table 12.3.3.2.1(b) provides criteria for protection of Plastics stored in single, double and multiple row
racks without solid shelves up to 25 ft in height.
If chosen by the tenant, the sprinklers throughout the storage areas shall be replaced with Tyco, Ultra
K-17 sprinklers (or equal) and the design throughout the storage areas shall be based upon the 15 most
demanding sprinklers with a minimum operating pressure of 15 psi.
Regardless of the protection scheme chosen, the tenant shall be required to select a sprinkler design
professional or licensed contractor to submit working plans and associated hydraulic calculations to the
Carlsbad Fire Prevention Bureau for review and approval of the design, methods, materials and
installation of the in-rack sprinkler or the upgrade ofthe ceiling level system.
The sprinkler contractor shall verify compliance with 12.1.13 .3 if the ceiling level system remains
intact (standard spray sprinklers with a minimum K-factor of 8.0).

Additional Fire Protection Requirements:
NFPA 13, section 12.1.1 states that sprinkler protection criteria are based on the assumption that roof
vents and draft curtains are not being used.
The writer assumes that smoke and heat vents as required by UFC 8102.7 were adequate for storage
occupancies within this spec lease warehouse building when permitted for the previous tenant and as
such, are not addressed as a part of this report.
Small hose connections as required by NFPA 13 section 12.1 3 and UFC Table 81-A shall be provided
for first aid fire fighting and mop-up operations. Fire hoses are not recommended based on the
following points:
The fire department carries hose packets and generally do not use building equipment.
Employees are generally instructed not to use this equipment and to evacuate the building in case
of fire.
• Maintenance of this equipment is difficult and therefore the integrity of the hose cannot be counted
on.
• This building is fijlly protected with a fire sprinkler system with a design density greater than the
minimum required for the use.
• Fire extinguishers are provided for incipient fires.
Steel columns located within the storage array shall be protected in accordance with NFPA 13, Section
12.3.1.7 and UFC 8104.3.
Idle Pallets shall not be stored within the racks at any time. Idles wooden pallets may be stacked a
maximum of 6 ft high and limited to 4 stacks, separated from other stacks by a minimum of 8 ft and
from other storage by 25 ft. per 12.1.9.1.2 (unless the alternate arrangement of Specific Application
Control Mode sprinkler upgrade is selected by the tenant)
Access Doors are provided in each 100 lineal feet of the exterior walls that face the access roadway
per UFC 8102.6.2. Doors are 3 feet in width and 6 feet 8 inches in height with approved locking
devices and are accessible without the use of a ladder

in the transverse flue spaces.
2. Ceiling-only protection shall not be permitted for this storage configuration.
3. Two levels of in-rack sprinklers [Vi in. or '%2 in. (12.7 mm or 13.5 mm) operating at 15 psi (1.03 bar) minimum) installed as indicated
and staggered in the transverse flue space.
4. Single level of in-rack sprinklers ['%2 in. (13.5 mm) operating at 15 psi (1.03 bar) minimum or Vi in. (12.7 mm) operating at 30 psi
(2.07 bar) minimum] installed on 4 ft lo 5 ft (1.25 m to 1.56 m) spacings located, as indicated, in the longitudinal flue space at tlie
intersection of every transverse flue space.
5. Where K-11.2. K-14, K-16.8 spray sprinklers listed for storage use are installed at the ceiling, the in-rack sprinklers shall not be
required, provided the ceiling sprinkler discharge criteria is increased to 0.6 gpm/ft^ [24 {L/min)/m 2] over 2000 f!^ (186 m^) and the
ceiling height in the protected area does not exceed 27 ft (8.2 m).
6. Each square represents a storage cube measuring 4 ft to 5 ft (1.22 m to 1.53 m) on a side. Actual toad heights can vary from
approximately 18 in. (0.46 ni) up to 10 ft (3.05 m). Therefore, there could be as few as one load or as many as six or seven loads
between in-rack sprinklers tha! are spaced 10 tt (3.05 m) apart vertically.
