The Spacing and Location of Fire Sprinklers: NFPA 13, Ch. 8 (2013 Ed.)
Basic installation rules for spacing and location of all types of sprinklers can be found in NFPA 13, Chapter
8. These rules have experienced many changes over the course of recent editions making it critical to keep
up with the latest requirements. This seminar is designed to help participants gain a greater level of
understanding to navigate and apply the data provided in Chapter 8 along with related definitions provided
in Chapter 3. Sprinkler system designers as well as estimators, project managers, installers, inspectors,
specifying engineers, and AHJs will benefit from this seminar. Upon completion, participants should be
able to analyze building conditions & generate shop drawings and/or sprinkler system design criteria
related to selection of sprinkler types and their application to spacing & location rules; apply rules for
spacing & location of various types of sprinklers; explain rules related to sprinkler temperature
classification & use of higher temperature sprinklers installed near heat sources; determine when sprinkler
omissions are permitted from combustible concealed spaces & other special spaces, such as electrical
equipment rooms; and compare requirements for draining trapped sections of piping in all sprinkler system
types. Required materials to bring: NFPA 13 (2013 Ed.) standard and basic calculator
