Course Description:

The protection of residential occupancies is unique with its distinct requirements for the use and location of sprinklers. Systems installed in accordance with NFPA 13D Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two-Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes and 13R Standard for the Installation of Sprinklers in Low-Rise Residential Occupancies are largely life safety in their purpose while those installed in dwelling units as allowed by NFPA 13 Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems are a part of a larger protection scenario. This one day seminar examines the requirements for each document and the desired protection objectives. The content is based on NFPA 13, 13R, and 13D.
