NFPA 13 STANDARD FOR THE INSTALLATION OF sprinkler SYSTEMS: SFM IN HOUSE Q&A OCTOBER 18, 2005 Question 1: From time to time, this office receives sprinkler plans showing "relocated sprinklers" and implying reuse of existing sprinklers. 13: states "Only new sprinklers shall be installed" which does not allow reuse of existing sprinklers. Please comment as necessary if there is an exception to 13 Answer: NFPA 13 requires new sprinklers in all installations. The intent includes renovation projects. It is a policy of this office, and most sprinkler contractors in this state, that whenever renovations to existing systems are proposed, no matter how simple, if the sprinkler head is manipulated, moved, etc., the existing head is replaced with a new one. The only alternative is to remove and test a reasonable quantity of existing heads in accordance with NFPA 25 , 1998 edition.
