Dan:
wanted to provide some comments regarding the plans submitted for the
Skookum Lumber Mill sprinkler system. My comments are specific to the
ICBO review.
ICBO COMMENT 8.
The ICBO review expresses concern about the air capacity of the system
exceeding UBC Standard 9-1 limits, and how this may affect the :60 valve
trip requirement. I will assume that the required trip time will be met with
the current system design and will be verified at the time of final inspection.
ICBO COMMENT 12.
It is my opinion that NFPA 13 requires all sprinkler system flow control
valves to be listed. If the solenoid valves controlling the deluge heads are
not listed, provide an evaluation, prepared by an licensed engineer, verifying
that the unlisted valves will meet the performance intent NFPA 13.
These comments also appear on the permit conditions. The permit is ready
to be picked up.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

Dave;
This is in response to ICBO's 01/15/97 review of Grinnell's plans and calculations for the
fire protection sprinkler system at the above referenced facility. Each comment will be
addressed in turn.
We concur. Reference drawings 7 and 7A reflect a revised suction arrangement
which complies with the intent of NFPA 20 regarding the avoidance of potential
air pockets. Note that the 8" suction line is now fed from a vertical section of the
12"by-pass line and an additional air release valve has been added to the highest
point of the 12"by-pass line.
DIVISION OF GRINNELL CORPORATION
"1Z Given the following it is Grinnell's opinion that relief valve discharge to the
exterior, as shown, is acceptable.
The term "limited capacity" is not defined in NFPA 20, however, the expression
implies that the water source is either unable or just able to supply the minimum
required.
The worst case sprinkler/hose demand of 1623.5 gpm, over the minimum 90 min.
duration, would require a source with 146,115 gal. capacity. The tank capacity is
500,000 gal., 3.4 X's the minimum required.
This does not seem to meet the definition of "limited capacity", therefore, relief
valve discharge to the tank should not be required.
We concur. To the best of our knowledge the fire pump plans conform to the
tenets of NFPA 20.
Verification that the"existing"tank complies with NFPA 22 should not be
required. The permitting and inspection process at the time of tank construction
should suffice as regards compliance with the applicable codes. (',=
We concur. The cross-section at col. lines 5 thru 10, (sheet 6 of 7), has been
revised to indicate a maximum deflector distance of 6"from the bottom of the
purlins.
,fer� We concur. A sprinkler has been added to the valve enclosure, (see sheet 2 of 7).
The heat tracing note on sheet 5 of 7 has been revised to, "piping to be insulated".
Insulation should provide adequate freeze protection given the following:
The pipe size is 8" and under continuous high pressure from the
jockey pump. g
ocke An ambient temperature well below freezing would
P p be required for a considerable length of time to freeze damage 8"
piping. This author has never witnessed freeze damaged piping
above 2".
�! The exposed piping is about 8 ft. in length which is minimal.
The convective transfer of heat from the relatively warm
underground piping and the valve enclosure piping should assist
in preventing freezing conditions within the exposed piping.
The 8" piping is not exposed directly to the weather or the wind.
The air encompassing the piping will be undisturbed and not
circulated due to the walls and overhead slab which surround the
space. Quiescent conditions are not particularly conducive to
freezing piping.
It is this author's opinion that the system will satisfy the 60 sec. criteria with the
fire pump in service. Testing will verify.
As indicated, the attached existing Planer/Trim Saw Building is not a part of this
contract. Per prior agreement, the first 30 ft. of the existing building, immediately
adjacent to the new, has been sprinklered at the roof throughout it's width.
1,0"r The Tolco, fig. 58, side beam bracket, noted as a component of hanger#5, has
been approved by UL and FM for the support of up to 2" piping utilizing (2) #16 x
2" drive screw fasteners. Approval by FM and UL supercedes specific NFPA 13
requirements per paragraph 1-2.
The 1/4"x 1"Hilti teks screw fasteners indicated on our drawing are equal in
strength to the approved drive screw fasteners and, therefore, should be acceptable
for the support of up to 2" piping.
The"C"type clamps referred to in NFPA 13, paragraph 4-6.4.3.5.14 are
illustrated in fig. A-2-6.1. The Powerstrut beam clamps indicated on our drawings
are not "C"type attachments.
Per paragraphs 4-6.4.3.5.2 and 4-6.4.3.5.3, unique seismic brace designs which
are certified by a registered professional engineer are acceptable. To that end, the
attached drawing set has been stamped and signed by this author. If a quantitive
load analysis of the building attachment method is required please advise.
12. To the best of this authors knowledge, there are currently no solenoid valves listed
by ert er UL or FM which are mten a or t e direct control of wat to
sprinklers. The solenoid valve selec 1 the conve or delu e s is a
quality, industra era wh;�h cho>>ld perform as necessary. If other is
required please advise.
43` The underground piping from the building to the fire department connection is hot-
dip galvanized and wrapped with shop-applied 3M tape. All joints are to be field
coated with mastic. This should satisfy the corrosion protection requirements of
NFPA 24.
The fire pump and associated appurtenances will be supervised per NFPA 20.

to comply with NFPA 13 4-4.1.4.2. Sprinkler deflectors can be 22" below the ceiling/roof deck
provided they are within 1" to 6" of the bottom of the purhn.
-6. A sprinkler head should be shown protecting the interior of the dry pipe valve enclosure.
1.17. The 8" supply to the dry pipe valve is shown located in a space that appears to be unheated.
Notes an sheet 5 of 7 indicates that this piping is "heat traced". NFPA 13 4-5.4.1.2 requires that supply
pipes that pass through areas exposed to freezing be protected against freezing with insulated coverings,
frost proof casings, or other reliable means capable of maintaining a minimum temperature of 40OF.
Verification should be made that the "heat tracing"protecting the supply pipe is U.L listed for this use.
It is recommended that the protection of the piping from freezing be supervised so that notification is
provided if there is a failure in the protection.
Plans indicate the air capacity of the dry system exceeds 1,066 gallons. Section 3-2.3.1 of UBC
Standard 9-1 limits the capacity of dry systems to 750 gallons unless the system is designed such that
water is delivered to the inspector test connection in not more than 60 seconds, starting at the normal air
pressure on the syst is recommended that the system be redesigned and addition systems
a e to reduce any one system capacity to no greater than 750 gallons. Failure to successfully pass the
60 second test for the dry pipe system may result in the requirement for substantial revisions to the
system,after initial installation, to comply with UBC 9-1/NFPA 13 requirements.
9. Notes on sheet 2 of 7 indicate that the "Existing Planer/Trim Saw" building located to the east
of this building is not a part of this contract. No sprinklers are shown in this building. It should be
noted that the basis for the design requirements of NFPA 13 is that sprinklers are installed throughout
the premises. This is to prevent fire from starting in unsprinklered portions of a building and spreading
to the sprinklered areas and overpowering the sprinkler system Unless standard fire barriers are
provided to separate the sprinklered from the unsprinklered areas, sprinklers should be provided in the
"Existing Planer/Trim Saw" building area.
See comment 48 above regarding the air capacity of the system. Additional sprinklers if
provided for this area should be supplied from a separate dry system unless the total air capacity of the
system does not exceed 750 gallons.
10. Line hanger detail 45 should be corrected to show the connection of the side beam bracket to
the "Z"purlin to be a 3/8" bolt and nut to comply with NFPA 13 2-6.4.6.
11. NFPA 13 4-5.4.3.5.10 does not allow the use of C-type clamps (including beam and large
flange clamps), with or without retaining straps to be used to attach sway bracing to the building
structure. Both E.Q. brace#1 and#2 details an sheet 2 of 7 indicate that the sway braces are attached
to the structure with beam clamps. Unless these clamps are specifically tested and listed for use as sway
braces (documentation should be provided)they should be replaced with connections to the structure
that meet NFPA 13.
