Although effective fire sprinkler systems are crucial to public safety, for
years, the designers of those systems had few published resources to reference
and guide them through their design processes. The first edition of this book
changed all that, and now The Design and Layout of Fire Sprinkler Systems Second
Edition suits their needs even better.
Written and thoroughly updated by a fire prevention engineer with more than 20
years of experience, this book provides a complete, systematic introduction to
automatic fire sprinkler design and layout, from design basics, code
requirements, and pipe hanging to hydraulic calculations, retrofits, and details
on fire pumps. The author carefully outlines all of a designer's
responsibilities and includes an entire chapter dedicated to preparing for the
NICET exam.
More than 150 sample diagrams, checklists, sample forms, spec sheets,
photographs, and a glossary complement the text, and the larger page size of
this edition permits clear presentation of diagrams and schematics. The Design
and Layout of Fire Sprinkler Systems not only builds the foundation and skills
of newcomers to the field, but also provides an outstanding reference for fire
safety professionals, building inspectors, insurance underwriters, and municipal
officials. 304 pp.
