Question

what are the three major differences between the NFPS 13 system and the residential fire sprinkler systems that change the overall protection goals?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

NFPA 13 protected buildings are touted to be fully sprinklered and thus, providing protection to the building it is guiding, and it's assets. On the other hand, NFPA 13R has been said to be partially sprinklered. This then means, it won't have as much protection as its counterpart in NFPA 13.

NFPA 13R gives room for the removal of fire protection on some places such as the bathrooms, the attics and what have you.

NFPA 13R also gives room for a shorter duration of water supply when compared to its counterpart in NFPA 13. In situations where water storage tanks supply the sprinkler system, a smaller tank can be used without any fears, whatsoever
