Due to changes in the national residential sprinkler standards, the residential market is now more demanding, needing not only an effective sprinkler usually dedicated to a smaller space, but a sprinkler that is subtle and coheres to the residential environment.
Managing to pack these necessities into a sprinkler that complies with the recently updated National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 13D, Installation of Sprinkler Systems, One- and Two-Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes; Standard 13R, Installation of Sprinkler Systems in Residential Occupancies Up To and Including Four Stories in Height; and revisions to Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Standard 1626, Standard for Residential Sprinklers, has definitely been a challenging, yet necessary journey.
