Join us for a webinar to learn about major sections of NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, influencing sprinkler layout in the 2019 edition.
Topics such as construction definitions, obstruction rules, ceiling pockets, and clouded ceilings are included. We will review real project examples that do not fall neatly into those found in the standard, as well as changes in these sections with the new edition.
Upon completion of this webinar attendees will be able to:
1. Identify construction definition without using the standard
2. Compare differences between construction definitions and the impact on the
design
3. Identify the four major obstruction classifications and apply the rules for each
4. Identify pocket and clouded ceilings and apply the rules for each
