As residential fire sprinkler systems become more widely recognized and adopted by communities, it becomes more important than ever to understand the requirements of proper design and installation. More than the commercial market, the residential environment is subject on the job changes and less engineering oversight and as a result the residential sprinkler system installer must have a thorough understanding of all aspects of residential sprinkler systems. A solid understanding of the requirements of the installation standards and how they are applied is the key to a successful installation. This class will guide the participant through the requirements of NFPA 13D as well as the alternate approaches, such as IRC P2904.
This course will give installers the skills and knowledge to competently install multipurpose residential fire sprinkler systems in one- and two-family dwellings. This class is based upon the two major installation standards for these residential sprinkler systems: NFPA 13D, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two- Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes, 2016 Edition and Section P2904 of the International Residential Code, 2018 edition which is titled Dwelling Unit Fire Sprinkler Systems. Edition years may be adjusted based upon the licensing agency having jurisdiction.
