What is NFPA 13D-2022?
NFPA 13D-2022 is the nationally recognized fire safety standard for the design and installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems in one- and two-family dwellings, manufactured homes, and townhouses. It provides clear, up-to-date criteria for sprinkler design, water supply requirements, placement, and equipment to help save lives and reduce fire risks in residential properties.
