Abstract
A method of designing a residential fire protection system in a residential dwelling unit with fire-resistant plastic components and non-fire-resistant plastic components are shown and described. The residential dwelling unit has a plurality of compartments as defined in the 2002 National Fire Protection Association Standards 13, 13D, and 13R. The method can be achieved by: specifying a quantity and location of residential fire sprinklers in a residential fire sprinkler piping network having a main pipe filled with liquid and a branch pipe connected to the residential fire sprinklers filled with a gas to protect the plurality of compartments; and specifying the branch pipe as a fire-resistant plastic branch pipe with an opening having a cross-sectional area different than the cross-sectional area of the main pipe. Various aspects of the invention are also shown and described.
