Concealed attic spaces combine some of the most difficult aspects of fire protection design and require carefully tailored fire sprinkler solutions for effectiveness.
In NFPA 13, the National Fire Protection Association establishes industry standards for installing sprinkler systems. Meeting the NFPA requirements can result in system demands of 600 gallons of water per minute with closely spaced sprinkler and branch lines, as well as a significant increase in the building’s minimum required water pressure.
