Sprinkler Insulation

Reference

Literature review from NFPA on the use of insulation to protect the piping in home fire sprinkler systems from freezing conditions.

Wall assembly with non-combustible brick cladding and fire-resistant or retardant rigid insulation, sheathing, framing and cavity insulation.

Image

The combustible rigid foam insulation is protected by a non-combustible layer of mineral wool insulation; a 7/8 inch “hat-channel” provides the ventilation and drainage gap.

Image

CPVC fire sprinkler piping insulated using the box-in method.

Image

Wall assembly with non-combustible fiber cement cladding, metal hat-channel furring for air gap and fire-resistant or retardant rigid insulation, sheathing, framing and cavity insulation.

Exterior Doors Are Insulated, Impact Rated, and Fire Rated

Guide

Guide describing the use of doors that are insulated and are impact rated or have protective coverings for resistance to hurricane, high winds, wildfires, and thermal losses.

CPVC fire sprinkler piping is insulated using the tent method, as described in NFPA 13D.

Image

Drainage behind stone cladding is provided by “grooved” rigid insulation coupled with a filter fabric.

Image

Metal hat channel provides a drainage gap of 1 inch between fiber-cement siding and mineral wool continuous insulation.

Image

Continuous rigid insulation coupled with thin (1/4-inch) spacer strips that provide drainage behind the wall cladding without increasing the fire risk of the assembly.
