acceptable. Timbers, uprights, hangers, piping, lighting fixtures,
ducts, etc., are likely to interfere with the proper distribution of
water from sprinklers. Therefore, sprinklers should be so located or
spaced that any interference is held to a minimum. In connection
herewith, the contractor shall obtain coordination among the trades so
as co avoid any interference with potential effectiveness of the
automatic sprinkler system.
MATERIALS:
Valves.

b. Dry pipe valve shall be specifically approved by
Underwriters' Laboratories or Factory Mutual for its intended use.
2. Sprinkler heads shall be Underwriters' Laboratories listed or
Factory Mutual approved. The PACNAVFACENGCOM Fire Protection Engineer
shall determine the sprinkler head degree rating during the design
review stage. Heads installed where they might receive mechanical
injury shall be protected with approved guard s . Spacing of heads
and design density discharge requirements shall be determined by the
PACNAVFACENGCOM Fire Protection Engineer during the design
stage. Pendant heads where required, shall be installe d as shown
in NFPA Standard No. 13. Sprinkler heads shall be nominal l/2 inch
size.
