THE SPRINKLER LAYOUT PROCESS

In this series, we expand upon the rules of sprinkler layout and construct a repeatable process for the layout of fire sprinklers. We'll identify all of the steps in the layout process, explore why spacing matters, evaluate three real-world project situations, and complete our own layout criteria for different situations.


Our objectives include:

  1. Identify all of the steps to effectively layout fire sprinklers.
  2. Explore three real-world fire sprinkler layout challenges.
  3. Develop our understanding and skill by completing exercises on sprinkler layout.
