We have a facility that was reviewed by another state department that has allowed a fire sprinkler system to transverse across and through a firewall to serve a portion of the building on the other side. (52,000 Square foot limitation for sprinkelr riser.)
The sprinkler system #1 serves building A and then passes thru a firewall to serve about 50 feet beyond the fire wall.
*
Sprinkler system # 2 serves another building but fails to be larger enough to serve this building so a portion of this building is served by sprinkler system # 1.
* This is a school -
* From the old codes, fire walls created a seperate and distinct building - own water service, sewer, fire protection, etc.
In accordance with the I-Codes, this arrangememnt is allowable since the fire wall in this case is not a party wall, but more of the U-code ASW.
Can anybody prove this theory wrong using the current I-codes - 03, 06, or even the 09 edition?
