Installation of Sprinkler Systems; NFP A 13R,
Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in
Residential Occupancies up to and Including Four
Stories in Height; or NFP A 13D, Standard for the
Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One and Two
Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes, as
appropriate.
All fire sprinkler systems shall be designed with
hydraulic calculation method. System design will
be based on a current flow test. For flow tests with
a static pressure of 55 PSI or more the test will be
extrapolated to seasonal static of 50PSI. The
formula is as follows:
X Factor = Seasonal Static / Measured Static
Design Res. Pres. = (Residual Pres)
x (X Factor)
Design Pitot PSI = (Pitot Press) x
(Xfactor)
For flow tests with a static of less than SQ2 psi the
un-extrapolated flow test shall be used. However in
this case a minimum safety factor of 5 psi above the
demand point of the system shall be used. Fire flow
data shall be attached to the hydraulic calculations
as per section 7 5.1.1 13.5.1.1.

standards listed in Chapter ~2; and in all new
residential occupancies containing more than four
(4) living units; and when otherwise required by
Collier County.
Exception No.1: Residential occupancies up to four
(4) stories in height may be protected in accordance

Sprinkler Systems in Residential Occupancies up to
and Including Four Stories in Height, where not
otherwise required to be protected by sprinklers
pursuant to the Building Code or other applicable
standards.

(according to National Fire Protection Association
101, 200QJ edition) or any physical enlargement of

Association 13, -l-999 2002 edition shall be used for the
purpose of determining hazard classification.
