Rule for the Design & Installation of Hydro-Pro Sprinkler Systems
Preface
The intent of this design guide is to define an alternative sprinkler system installation, which offers an enhanced level of life-safety to occupants evacuating a structure during the first minutes of a detected fire. The system design is not primarily intended to adequately protect the structure itself from fire loss or damage. A complete sprinkler system designed and installed in accordance with NFPA #13 may offer superior protection to the structure and contents.
