The Conditions of the Contract and applicable requirements of Division 1 , \"General Requirements\", and Section 23 01 00 , \"Mechanical General Provisions\", govern this Section.  \n1.2 DESCRIPTION OF WORK:  \nA. This Section of the Specification includes providing all labor and materials for the installation of a hydraulically calculated automatic , dry-pipe sprinkler system (s) in areas as specified herein and in Section 21 12 00 , \"Fire Protection Systems\", and as shown on the Drawings , complete in all respectsand ready for operation. The work includes the design of a dry-pipe automatic sprinkler system , complete and ready for operation. Design and installation of the sprinkler system s hall be such that no parts interfere with general construction, doors , windows , heating, plumbing, air conditioning systems or electrical equipment.  \nB. The Work s hall be installed in accordance with the Drawings and Specifications. All devices and equipment shall be listed by Underwriters' Laboratories , Inc. or Factory Mutual-approved, individually and as a system , as applicable.  \nC. Sprinkler heads shall be spaced, located, and positioned as shown on the Architectural reflected ceiling plans , where shown, as specified herein and as required to suit the building partition layout according to NFPA 13. Piping sizes and configurations shall be on the basis of hydraulic calculations. Where head layouts shown on the Drawings or requirements specified herein are more stringent than NFPA requirements , the more stringent requirements shall apply. Special consideration of locations or conditions shall conform to NFPA 13.  \nD. The preference of the University is to connect to the campus Fire Water Distribution System (FWDS) provided Code compliant combination wet automatic fire sprinkler and where possible, automatic standpipe systems that do not contain alarm valves or local alarm devices , and a minimum 10 psig or 10% safety factor, whichever is greater, without requiring a building fire pump.  \nE. Provide a complete automatic sprinkler system as defined by the latest edition of NFPA 13. All fire sprinkler systems installed on campus are required to be wet pipe systems unless the area being protected cannot be maintained above 40 degrees F, as required per NFPA 13. These areas will require a dry pipe system to be installed. Antifreeze systems of any size are not permitted on campus. Rooms or areas where it is not desirable to have water filled piping within the room , such as special collections , computer rooms , etc. may utilize double interlock pre-action systems. Use of pre-action systems must be approved by the University prior to system design.  \nF. Zone the dry-pipe sprinkler system as shown on the Drawings.  \nG. Coordinate the location of sprinkler heads and piping such that it does not interfere with the installed ceiling configuration or other building construction and equipment.  \n1.3 HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS:  \nA. Hydraulic calculations shall be prepared in accordance with Chapter 23 of NFPA 13 with the following exceptions:  \n1. Pipe friction losses may be calculated by using the nearest foot for all piping over one foot ( 1') in length. Horizontal lengths less than one foot ( 1') may be neglected. Vertical length less than one foot ( 1') shall be included for elevation purposes only.  \n2. Flows shall be calculated to the nearest whole gallon.  \n3. Velocity pressures may be neglected.  \n4. Velocities in underground piping shall not exceed 16’ per second. Velocities in all other piping shall not exceed 20’ per second. Velocities in standpipes must be calculated based on the combined sprinkler flow and hose flow.  \n5. Total sprinkler system flow s hall not exceed 110% of the required flow.  \n6. The sprinkler/standpipe risers accommodate both the sprinkler and standpipe hose stream flows. Each riser shall accommodate 250 gallons per minute","cbCaioVgFEki8j5K","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioVgFEki8j5K","pdf",133030,"English","# Section 21 13 16 Dry-Pipe Fire Sprinkler System\n## Part 1 - General\n### 1.1 Related Documents\n### 1.2 Description of Work\n### 1.3 Hydraulic Calculations\n### 1.4 Quality Assurance","[{\"question\":\"What governs Section 21 13 16 for this sprinkler work?\",\"answer\":\"The conditions of the contract and applicable requirements from Division 1 General Requirements and Section 23 01 00 Mechanical General Provisions govern this section.\"},{\"question\":\"When must a dry-pipe system be used instead of a wet-pipe system on campus?\",\"answer\":\"Dry-pipe systems are required for areas that cannot be maintained above 40°F as required by NFPA 13.
