According to Section 7.1.1.1, the system must provide at least the flow required to produce a minimum discharge density of 0.05 gallons per minute per square foot (gpm/ft²) or 2.04 millimeters per minute (mm/min), or the sprinkler listing, whichever is greater, to the design sprinklers.

What Fire Protection Pros Are Saying

Engineers, designers, and consultants are saving hours on code research with FireCodes AI.

What used to be an hour of flipping between NFPA 13 and the FBC turned into a few minutes. It’s cut my code research time by 40% on a typical job — and even more on the complicated ones.
It’s an upgrade from how I used to search through code like a caveman, tab after tab on a PDF reader, hoping I entered the right keyword. I don’t think I can go back after using FireCodes AI.
It’s like the NFPA 13 handbook except digital. Better than any other AI I’ve tried.

What Our Users Say

P

Peter

Senior Designer · Mill Brook Fire Protection

I like to search in Chat first, then go to References to copy the exact code text verbatim onto my plans instead of transcribing from the physical book. It streamlines AHJ reviews and I find security knowing I’m deriving information directly from the code, not Google forum threads.

B

Bradley, FPE

· GHD Engineering

FireCodes AI pulled the code in a very defined way with extensive details. It was very promising.

N

Nathan

Fire Protection Engineer

More precise responses than the same questions asked to Copilot, our company’s current AI assistant. It’s not afraid to tell me when my assumptions are wrong. GPT, Gemini, and Copilot are all very “make the user feel good” and sometimes provide incorrect information.

K

Kyle

Fire Protection Engineering · Design Alaska Inc.

References are accurate. Huge upgrade from other platforms I’ve used for code support. Having the summary of code findings and the references provided separately is a really nice feature.

Fire Protection Engineer · Performance Design Technologies

The breakdowns it gives are helpful and well organized, and the references section is greatly appreciated so I can double-check what it finds for myself.

What is the maximum unsupported length of 2" steel pipe?

FireCodes AI

FireCodes AI 05:16 PM

The maximum unsupported length for a 2-inch steel pipe is specified in the Florida Sprinkler Installation Code 2019. According to Section 17.4.3.4.1, the unsupported horizontal length between the end sprinkler and the last hanger on the line for steel pipe should not exceed 60 inches (1500 mm) for 1 1/2 inch (40 mm) or larger pipe. Since 2-inch steel pipe falls into this category, the maximum unsupported length is 60 inches.

"Florida Sprinkler Installation Code 2019, Section 17.4.3.4.1: For steel pipe, the unsupported horizontal length between the end sprinkler and the last hanger on the line shall not be greater than 36 in. (900 mm) for 1 in. (25 mm) pipe, 48 in. (1.2 m) for 11/4 in. (32 mm) pipe, and 60 in. (1500 mm) for 11/2 in. (40 mm) or larger pipe."
