Hazardous Materials:
No hazardous materials or chemicals are stored or used within this facility with the exception of
normal household cleaning products.
Fire Sprinkler Requirements:
Per NFP A 13, 1999 edition Figure 7-4 .4 .1.1 the Decision Tree for Group A Plastics, cartoned,
expanded and unexpanded or exposed unexpanded, stored in racks, the prescribed density for 20
ft. storage with 5 ft to 10 ft. of clearance shall be .30 gpm/2,000 sqft plus one level of in-rack
sprinklers as shown in figure 7-4.4.2.3&? attached.
The in-rack sprinklers shall be located below the top tier level of storage with sprinklers located
4 ft to 5 ft on center and at the intersection of the transverse and longitudinal flue spaces.
In rack sprinkler demand shall be based upon the simultaneous operation of the most
hydraulically demanding 8 sprinklers operating at 15 psi for 17 /3 2 in. orifice sprinkler heads or
15 psi for ½ in. sprinkler heads, per note 3 of section 7-4.4.2.3~. (attached)
The tenant shall contract with a licensed fire sprinkler contractor who shall be required to submit
shop drawings and related hydraulic calculations for the new in-rack fire sprinkler system. The
system demand shall be added to the flow rate of the ceiling level sprinkler system at the point of
connection and balanced to the higher pressure in accordance with the requirements ofNFPA 13,
1999 edition paragraph 8-i 2.
Minimum 6" nominal transverse flue space is required between the loads at the rack uprights.
Steel columns located within the storage racks are required to be protected in accordance with
NFPA 13, Section 7-9.8. The tenant shall be required to add column sprinkler protection with
sidewall sprinklers located 15 ft above the floor where steel columns are located with the rack
storage area.
Small fire hose valve stations (1-1/2") shall be provided within the rack storage area, supplied
from the ~ piping system.
Oe';t /;n_J
General Fire Protection and Life Safety Requirements:
The high-piled storage areas will be in accordance with CFC Article 81 , Section 8102 including
the following:
• Automatic Fire Extinguishing System
• Building Access
• Smoke and Heat Removal
• Small Hose Valves and Stations

Access Doors:
Access doors shall be provided in each 100 lineal feet of the exterior walls that face the access
roadway. Doors shall be not less than 3 feet in width and 6 feet 8 inches in height. Only
approved locking devices may be used and doors shall be accessible without the use of a ladder.
Smoke and Heat RemovaVCurtain Boards:
Pursuant to Carl.shad Fire Department Policy and based on full scale fire testing performed by
Factory Mutual Laboratories~ we request permission to omit draft curtain boards in this
warehouse facility.
Currently, there are a total of 17 ( 4 'x8') vented skylights present within the warehouse area,
providing a total of 544 sqft of ventilation for a floor area of 35,000.
The required ratio of vent area to floor area is 50:1 per Article 81 of the UFC.

21.875 or 22 vented skylights required
The tenant shall be required to add 5 additional vented skylight units, located within the rack
storage area.
Small Hose Connections:
Small hose connections are required per section 7-4.1.6. Per Carlsbad Fire Department Policy, it
is requested that the hose, nozzle and rack requirements be waived. It is not recommended that
employees attempt to fight a fire with 1 ½ inch hose lines in high pile stock areas. The request
to omit fire hose is 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 fully 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.
General Safety Practices:
• No smoking will be permitted in the building.
• All employees will receive special training on the use of portable fire extinguishers of the type to
be provided in this building. An evacuation plan will be in place.
• Exit doors will be maintained unobstructed and will be opened weekly to ensure their
operation.

Product .
Description
The Central Model A Upright or
Pendent Automatic Sprinklers are
standard spray sprinklers with a
traditional appeal. They incorporate a
unique center strut design.
The Model A Sprinklers are
intended for installation in accordance
with current NFPA 13 Standards.
They are available in a wide variety of
orifice sizes, temperature ratin·gs,'
finishes, and corrosiq11 _resistant
coatings.
Operation: A fusible alloy is
sealed into a bronze center strut by a
stainless steel ball. When the alloy
melts at its rated temperature, the ball
is forced upward into the center strut,
releasing the two ejectors and
operating the sprinkler. Unlike most
other sprinkler designs, .th.e a_lloy is
not exposed to atmospheric
conditions that could affect its proper
functioning. It is also less susceptible
to mechanical damage since there
are no protruding elements,
extending beyond the sprinkler frame.
For specific listing requirements see the appropriate
information contained in this brochure.

~ Installation
All Central Model A Sprinklers
must be installed according to current
NFPA 13 Standards. Deviations from
these requirements and standards or
any alteration to the sprinkler itself
will void any warranty made by
Central Sprinkler Company. In
addition, installation must also meet
local government provisions, codes
and standards as a·pplicable.
The system pipir:ig must be
properly sized to insure the minimum
required flow rate at the sprinkler.
Check for the proper model, style,
orifice size, and temperature rating
prior to installation. Install sprinklers
atter the piping is in place to avoid
mechanical damage; replace any
damaged units.

Wet pipe systems must be
protected from freezing. Refer to the
Central Bulletins on the Model A-1
Dry Pendent Sprinklers for use in dry
pipe sprinkler installations.
Upon completion of the
installation, the system must be
tested per recognized standards.
In the event of a thread leak,
remove the unit, apply new pipe joint
compound or tape, and reinstall.
Installation Sequence
Step 1. The unit must be installed
in the upright position for upright style ·
sprinklers, and in the pendent
position for pendent style sprinklers.
Step 2. Use only a non-hardening
pipe joint compound or Teflon* tape.
Apply only to the male threads.
Teflon is a trademark of the DuPont Corp.
3
Step 3. Hand tighten the sprinkler
into the fitting. For upright sprinklers
use a Central Sprinkler Combination
Wrench, and for pendent sprinklers
use a Central Sprinkler Universal
Wrench, to tighten the unit into the
fitting. A leak-tight joint requires only
7 to 14 ft.-lbs.(9.5 to 19.0 Nm) of torque;
a tangential force of 14 to 28 lbs.(62.3
to 124.5 N) delivered through a 611 (150
mm) handle will deliver adequate
__ tor@~-Torque lev.els over 21 ft.-
lbs.c28.6 Nm) may distort the orifice
seat;--resulting in leakage.
For expos~c;1 piping systems, the
sprinkler should be oriented so the
frame arms are parallel with the
branch line pipe.
Caution: Special care must be taken
when installing with a CPVC piping
system. Sprinklers must be installed
after the CPVC manufacturer's
recommended setting time for the
primer and cement to ensure that no

General
Description
The Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor, Horizon-
tal and Vertical Sidewall Sprinklers de-
scribed in this data sheet are standard
response -standard coverage, deco-
rative 5 mm glass bulb type spray
sprinklers designed for use in light and
ordinary hazard, commercial occupan-
cies such as banks, hotels, shopping
malls, etc. They are designed for instal-
lation along a wall _9_~ the side of a beam
and just beneath a smooth ceifing.
Sidewa.1I -sprinklers-are commonly
used instead of pendent or upright
sprinklers because of aesthetics or
building construction considerations,
where piping across the ceiling is not
desirable.
The recessed version of th e Series
TY-B Horizo ntal Sidewall Sprin kler is
intended for use in areas with a fin-
ished wa ll. It uses a two-piece Sty le 10
Recessed Escutcheon. The Recessed
Escutcheon provides 1/2 inch (12,7
mm) of recessed adjustment or up to
3/4 inch (19, 1 mm) of total adjustment
from the flush sidewall position. The
adjustment provided by the Recessed
Escutcheon reduces the accuracy to
which the fixed pipe nipples to the
sprinklers must be cut. .
Corrosion resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to ·extend the
life of coppe r alloy spririklers beyond
that which would otherwise be ob-
tained when expo sed to corrosive at-
mospheres. Although corrosion resis-
tant coated sprinklers have passed the
standard corrosion tests of the appli-
cable approval agencies, the testing Is
not represe ntative of all possible cor-
rosive atmospheres. Consequently, it
is recommended that the end user be
consulted with respect to the suitability
of these corrosion resistan_t coatings
for any given corrosive environment.
The effects of ambient temperature,
concentration of chemicals, and
gas/chemical velocity, should be con-
Page 1 of 6
sidered, as a minimum, along with the
corrosive nature of the chemical to
which the sprinklers will be exposed.
WARNINGS
The Series TY-8 Sprinklers described
herein must be installed and main-
tained in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion Association, in addition to the
standards of any other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Failure to do so may·
impair the integrity of these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and de-.
vices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted
relative to any questions.

various hazardous materials deemed to be present at West Coast Composites.
Material Safety Data Sheets were enclosed with this report. In discussions
with Mr. Jim Pfeil of West Coast Composites, their report reflects a number
of materials in storage which were relocated to the outside pre-fab hazardous
material's container. Please note the following report-enclosures by Hefner
& Associates for your use.
1. Chemical Usage Report:
Reflects declaration of materials in storage & use as submitted by West
Coast Composites. This report has been further altered (pen/ink) to note
the locations (1 or 2) reflected in Hefner & Associate's reports. Although
various "departments" are shown in the Chemical Usage Report, all
inside areas have been grouped into Location 1 due to the absence of any
"control areas" other than the exterior walls of the facility. For you
inspection purposes, the Chemical Usage Report (West Coast
Composites) would better serve you in identifying specific storage and
use locations within the building.
2. Key to Abbreviationr;--Classification/Inventory Sheets:
Explanation of Hazard Class abbreviations and Headings used on
Hefner & Associate's reports. For West Coast Composites, I assigned
FIRE & BUILDING CODES • HAZARDOUS MATERIALS • PLAN REVIE W • INSPECTIONS AS02.Dl ~b

special designations under the "CAS#" column due to the fact that the
majority of materials were mixtures/products specific to West Coast
Composite's operations. All of these "WC-#'s" also reflect a
concentration of 100%, but a breakdown of actual CAS#'s and percentage
of components are shown under the "Material Name" column of Hefner
& Associate's reports.
3. Inventory Reports (3):
Some materials will have multiple listings. This is due to (1) some
storage in cabinets and some not; (2) different interior storage/use areas
within th.e building (see WCC's "Chemical Usage Report"); or (3) storage
outside the building in the pre-fab Hazardous Material's container. The
3 Inventory Reports are as follows:
--(All) 2 pages. Lists all materials in storage & use, both inside and
outside (Locations 1 & 2).
--(Area 1--Inside) 2 pages. Lists all materials in storage & use inside the
building (Location 1).
--(Area 2--Outside) 1 page. Lists all materials in storage outside (within
the pre-fab Hazardous Material's container).
4. Sorted Reports (2):
These reports sort and quantify materials in storage & use by Hazard
Class and Form of material for the purpose of summarization into a
UBC Table 9-A or 9-B format. The 2 Sorted Reports are as follows:
--(Area 1--Inside) 12 pages.
--(Area 2--Outside) 9 pages.
5. Totals--UBC Tables 9-A & 9-B Format:
These reports summarize findings into a format for comparison with
UBC Tables 9-A & 9-B for the purpose of occupancy classification. This
format was also completed for the outside pre-fab Hazardous Material's
container, even though this container was permitted as "outside"
storage. Hence, the summaries for Area 2 (Outside) are for
informational purposes only. The 2 "Totals" reports are as follows:
--Totals--Area 1 (Inside). UBC Table 9-A & 9-B, 2 pages.
--Totals--Area 2 (Outside). UBC Table 9-A & 9-B, 2 pages.

B. Summary:
The totals reflected in the UBC Table 9-A and 9-B format do not exceed the
exempt amounts permitted per those UBC tables for storage & use inside the
building (Area 1). It should also be noted that the totals for each hazard class
and form of material are within maximum quantities permitted for an
unsprinklered building. As you are no doubt aware, exempt amounts in
storage & use may be doubled for sprinklered buildings and doubled again for
storage when hazardous material's cabinets are used. Neither of these
credits appears necessary, based upon findings. However, they could be
applied in the future changes in quantities.
Should you require any additional information or assistance, please feel free to
contact me.
