NFPA (Fire) 13R Historical

Install sprinkler systems in low-rise occupancies using updated requirements in the 2019 edition of NFPA 13R.

Keep your knowledge up to code with NFPA 13R, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in Low-Rise Residential Occupancies, including comprehensive requirements governing system installation, including water supply and system acceptance. Installers and contractors need the 2019 edition of NFPA 13R to complete jobs correctly, work with the latest technologies, and reduce risks while maximizing efficiency.

New requirements address:

• Where pipe and tube listed for light hazard can be used in an ordinary hazard application
• Beam rules for sprinklers installed under and adjacent to beams (along with new figures)
• Waste and linen systems
• Installation of fuel-fired equipment
• Obstructions in hallways

This 2019 edition includes the reorganized and expanded Chapter 9, Water Supplies, with domestic demand tables moved from the annex to the body of the Standard. The Standard also has new images clarifying sprinkler location and clearances needed around fireplaces.
