Residential Fire Sprinkler Guides
Residential Fire Sprinkler Guides
A Cooperative Effort of
PROLOG
The EXPRESS Residential Design Guide was prepared under a Cooperative Agreement with the
Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and sponsored by the U.S. Fire
Administration (USFA). As a cooperative effort between the NAHB Research Center, Inc., and
the Bureau of Engineering Services, Prince Georges County (Maryland) Fire Department, the
Design Guide was developed for the installer as a method to simplify and expedite residential
sprinkler design and layout.
The Design Guide incorporates extensive experience concerning the installation of residential fire
sprinklers in accordance with NFPA 13-D. The consensus of experience maintains that most
homes can be pre-engineered following design methods contained in the NFPA 13-D standard.
The Design Guide is intended only for use in residential applications to one and two family
dwellings and townhouses and is intended to assist the user in preparing designs of residential
sprinkler systems which are in compliance with the NFPA 13-D standard. In the case of any
discrepancy found between the minimum design standards of NFPA 13-D and the Design Guide,
the requirements of NFPA 13-D shall be considered as taking precedence.

How Does the Guide Relate to the Design Method of NFPA Standard 13-D?
The method described in the Guide enables installers to design systems that conform to the
requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 13-D, "Sprinkler Systems
in One- and Two-Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes" (1994). Two important
differences between the Guide's method and the current 13-D method are that the Guide
estimates the fitting loss and does not require the installer to specify the exact layout of the
piping in the system.
The Guide eliminates the need for detailed special plans because the system design is not tied
to precise sprinkler head locations. Instead, sprinkler heads can be placed anywhere within
target zones that are indicated on the house plans. The Guide substantially reduces and can
eliminate the necessity for pre-installation design review. The hydraulics and head locations can
be reviewed in the field after rough installation is complete. When requirements of actual
construction make it necessary to change the layout of the piping or the location of sprinkler
heads, conventional designs can require the submission of as-built plans. With the use of target
zones, the need for as-built plans can be eliminated.
Water Supply
The available water pressure in the home.
The length, size, and type of underground piping material used to supply water from the
street main to the house.
Change in Elevation
The change in elevation between the water main and the highest sprinkler in the house.
Sprinkler Specifications
Water flow, pressure, and coverage specifications for the make and model of sprinkler
head that will be used. These operating characteristics appear on the product information
(cut) sheets furnished by the manufacturer.
Specifications for any backflow prevention devices or special valves that may be used in
the system. This information also accompanies the devices.
Sprinkler heads should be chosen that require as little flow as possible for the greatest coverage
area. Flow rates as low as 9 to 12 gallons per minute (gpm) for a coverage area of 14 x 14
are available and constitute a desirable range.
Coverage Area
In the method described in the Guide, the term Coverage Area designates a single sprinkler
rating representing the greatest coverage that any individual sprinkler head on the system will
have to achieve. This Coverage Area dictates the flow rate and the pressure for the system.
Selection of this rating is therefore the first step.
Manufacturers coverage-area specifications for sprinkler heads typically run from 12 x 12 or
less, to 20 x 20, as shown in Table 1.
Room Width
The Guide uses the width of the room as the principal dimension for determining the Coverage
Area. The width is defined as the measurement of the shorter side of the room.
Here is the basic rule:
The greatest room width that does not exceed the greatest coverage area rating
of the sprinkler heads, will determine the Coverage Area for the system being
designed.
ROOM WIDTH

or 25 - 28
to 16 or 29 - 32

to 12 or 21
to 14
to 20
or 37 - 40
16 x 16

For example, consider a house with an 17-foot x 24-foot living room and a 32-foot x 40-foot
basement.
For the 17-foot-wide living room, the Coverage Area selected is 18 x 18 feet. The room requires
a single row of two sprinklers to cover its 24-foot length. Figure 1 shows the target zones within
which the sprinklers can be placed.
Figure 1
Living Room with Target Zones
For the basement, we find 32 feet under Room Width in Table 2. The table shows that the
Coverage Area will be 16 feet, which falls within the 18-foot Coverage Area that we have
already selected. However, two rows of sprinklers will be required to achieve 32-foot coverage.
Each row will contain three sprinklers, to reach the full length of 40 feet. Figure 2 shows the
target zones within which the sprinklers can be placed.
Figure 2
Basement with Target Zones
As an example, suppose that all rooms have one sprinkler head each, and the Coverage Area is
18 x 18. Suppose, too, that the manufacturers specifications exactly duplicate those in Table 1.
The table gives the DWF of an 18 x 18 Coverage Area as 14 gallons per minute (gpm) and the
pressure as 12.9 pounds per square inch (psi).
Multiple Sprinkler Heads
If there are more than one sprinkler head in any room of the house, then the Multiple-Head
Flow and the Single-Head Pressure from the manufacturer specification, and are used on the
Hydraulic Calculation Work Sheet.
The Multiple-Head Flow Rate is used because it is possible that two heads in a given
room with two or more sprinklers may be activated simultaneously.
The Single-Head Pressure is used because this makes it possible to perform one
calculation to determine adequate pressure and flow for all heads on the system,
regardless of the number of heads in any individual room.
As an example, suppose that we have selected a Coverage Area of 18 x 18, and that one room
in the house has two sprinkler heads. If the manufacturers specifications are the same as those
in Table 1, then the DWF is 24 gpm (12 x 2), and the Pressure is 12.9 psi.
Enter in 1A the largest Room Width that does not exceed the greatest coverage area rating of the
sprinkler heads. Enter the selected Coverage Area in 1B.
2A:
2B:
2C:
If there will be more than one sprinkler head in any room of the house, enter the Dual-Head
Flow Rate (2C) in 3B, and multiply by 2.
The applicable entry3A or 3B x 24 is the system's Design Water Flow (DWF). Enter it on
Line 1.
The Single-Head Pressure from 2B is used for the Design Sprinkler Pressure. Enter it on
Line 2.
4. Water Pressure at the Public Main
This is the pressure in the public main of the local water supply system. The figure can be
obtained from the utility. Enter it on Line 3.
If a backflow prevention device is present, secure the pressure loss at the DWF, from the
manufacturer's specifications. Enter it on Line 4.
If the system employs a check valve rather than a backflow prevention device, Table 3 can be
used to determine the pressure loss. Enter it on Line 4.
Table 3
Pressure Loss in Devices
If the system has neither type of device and employs a direct connection to provide flow
in the system enter "0"on Line 4.
B. Water Meter
Determine the size of the system's water meter, and enter it in 5B.
10
Using Table 3, find the pressure loss for this size meter at the systems Design Water Flow (Line
1). Enter this figure on Line 5.
C. Valves
Enter the number of gate or ball valves in 5C. Multiply by the figure that appears under the
systems Design Water Flow in Table 3. Enter this figure on Line 6.
6. Pressure Losses in Underground Supply Piping
In 6A and 6B, enter the sizes and types of underground water service piping that extends from
the public main to the house.
Appendix A provides Pressure Loss Tables for various Design Water Flows, for different types
of pipe of various sizes and lengths.
Choose the table which matches the underground pipe.
Go down the pipe lengths in the left-hand column and choose the first one that is equal
to or greater than the length of pipe that is being checked.
Run across the column to the systems Design Water Flow to find the pressure loss.
Enter this number on Line
7A.
Repeat the process for an additional pipe section, and enter the number on
Line 7B.
water main and the highest sprinkler head in the system. Enter the difference in elevation at 7,
and divide by 2. Enter the result on Line 8.
8. Sum of Losses and Pressure at the Farthest Head
Add Lines 2, 4, 5 , 6, 7A, 7B, and 8. Enter on Line
9.
To determine the available pressure for piping, subtract Line 9 from Line 3 and enter the result
on Line 10.
10. Selection of Pipe Type and Size
Complete section 10 by using the tables in Appendix B to make pipe selection(s).
11
Choose the appropriate table for the DWF that you have entered on Line 1.
Choose the pressure loss in the vertical left-hand column that is equal to or less than the
Available Pressure for Piping on Line 10.
Running across the table, choose a single pipe type or a combination of pipe types that
will extend to the farthest sprinkler head.
For example, Figure 3 shows a portion of the 18 gpm Table in Appendix B. If the Available
Pressure for Piping on Line 10 is 22 psi, the table shows the available piping options. These
options indicate the maximum pipe run that can be accommodated by each type of pipe.
All lines except the first assume the use of two different types of piping in the maximum-length
run. Select one length from Section A and one from Section B. Their combined length must
accommodate the length of the run to the farthest sprinkler head.
The highlighted row in Figure 3 shows the maximum allowable length for a combined run of
one-inch copper Type M and one-inch CPVC pipe. The copper portion of the run can be as long
as 50 feet, and the CPVC part of the run can be as long as 101 feet.

Limitations of Template Use
There are two limitations on use of the templet:
Do not use the templet to determine target zone locations on other than flat ceilings.
In areas that are subject to heat from such sources as stove tops, fireplaces, furnaces, and
hot water heaters, the target zone may have to be modified in accordance with the
manufacturers' installation guides for procedures relating to such areas.

The applicable templet 1/4" or 1/8" must be copied onto a transparency of the type
used for overhead projections. With this transparency, house plans can be seen beneath
the templet.
The two sides of the target zone scale that face the edges of the sheet, must be trimmed
along the lines marked "edge line." This is shown in Figure 7.
Coverage Area
Use of the templet to lay out target zones is based on the Coverage Area that has been selected
for the system. This figure appears on the Hydraulic Work Sheet, Item 1B.
