This video tackles a question that many designers and fire safety enthusiasts have been curious about-when can sprinklers be omitted in closets?
First, we'll break down the requirements outlined in NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, and review the specific provisions for hotel, motel, and hospital closets.
Then, we’ll turn our attention to the new paragraph 9.2.5.3 in the 2022 edition, which emphasizes that sprinklers might not be required in closets and pantries if other governing laws, codes, or standards permit their omission.
Finally, we'll delve into allowable omissions per NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®, where we will review omission allowances for apartments, lodging or rooming houses, hotels and dormitories, and residential board and care facilities.
