HomeMy WebLinkAboutSuite 12 review response October 21, 2010 Vail Fire Department 42 W. Meadow Dr. Vail, CO. 81657 Attn: Mike McGee Ref: Ramshorn Suite 12 Fire Sprinklers Mike, This is in response to your review comments for the above referenced project. There are seven notes that have been placed on the drawings with regards spacing and obstructions within six different rooms. The areas in questions are: 1. TV Room 2. Living Room 3. Dining Room 4. Guest Suite 3 5. Master Bedroom 6. Master Bath Items 1, 2 & 3 - The TV Room, Living Room and Dining room have the same sprinkler layout for all three areas. My understanding of your note is that the sprinkler head in the pocket will not reach the exterior walls of the rooms . The layout as shown has the sprinkler heads in between the pockets protecting the exterior wall of the room and the head in the pocket in designed to cover the pocket area only. The sprinkler head spacing in between the pockets is 16’x16’ maximum. Item 4 – The soffits on three sides of guest suite 3 have dimensions of less than 30 inches and comply with figure 8.10.6.1.2(b). The head is 7” higher than the soffit. The sprinkler head needs to be a minimum of 16” away from the edge of the small soffit. The actual dimension is 2’11”. The large soffit against the wall adjacent to the TV room is larger than 30” and therefore must comply with Table 8.10.6.1.2. The head is 7” higher than the soffit so the placement must be at least 4’6” away in order for the sprinkler spray to clear. The head is 4’6” away from the soffit. Additional dimensions have been added. Item 5 – The sprinkler head in the beam will be 10-5” above the floor (6” coffer). Three of the soffits at the perimeter of the room are 30” or less so that figure 8.10.6.1.2(b) can be used. The corner opposite the master bath shower has a soffit width exceeding 30” therefore table 8.10.6.1.2 (2010) is used to show that the sprinkler spray can clear the obstruction. The head is 7” above the lower ceiling and must be at least 4’6” away from the edge. The actual dimension is 4’8” away. The sprinkler will spray to this corner if placed per the plans. Additional dimensions have been provided. Page 2 of 2 Item 6 – Master Bathroom – The sprinkler head shown is 7’9” off of the far wall. I have added a dimension to ensure that the installer know that he is close to the maximum allowed spacing. Let me know if there are any questions or if additional information is required.
