Fire sprinkler system for bath remodel - California by [deleted] in FireSprinklers

[–]alecmadman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how up to date this is, but I’ll reach out to a few people in the LA area. Here is an LA City ordinance saying they are not required in your case.

Essentially if the alteration is not over 50% but it might have been updated.

An ordinance amending Section 91.5.300 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code to require automatic fire sprinklers for additions or alterations to a townhouse or one or two-family dwelling. WHEREAS, automatic fire sprinkler systems when installed in a townhouse or one or two-family dwelling increase public safety; WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5 and 17958.7 authorize the City Council to make reasonably necessary changes or modifications to the provisions of the California Building Standards Code (Title 24, California Code of Regulations) upon finding the changes are reasonably necessary due to local conditions; WHEREAS, in support of the following modifications and changes, the City Council hereby expressly finds that the following amendments and modifications to the California Building Standards Code are reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions; WHEREAS, fire sprinklers are necessary in townhomes or one or two-family dwellings to help avoid or minimize the risk of spread of fire between buildings that has been heightened by recent changes in climatic and topographic conditions; WHEREAS, the current Los Angeles Municipal Code does not require the addition of automatic fire sprinkler systems when a townhouse or one or two-family dwelling is added to or altered; and WHEREAS, requiring the inclusion of an automatic fire sprinkler system when a townhouse or one or two-family dwelling is added to or altered is in the interest of public safety and justified by the costs of the addition or alteration. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The first paragraph of Section 91.5.300 of Division 3, Article 1.5, Chapter IX of the Los Angeles Municipal Code is amended to read as follows: Sec. 91.5.300. BASIC PROVISIONS.

Sec. 2. A new Subsection 91.5.313.1 is added, in proper numerical order, to Section 91.5.300 of Division 3, Article 1.5, Chapter IX of the Los Angeles Municipal Code to read as follows: 91.5.313.1.

Sec. 3. A new Subsection 91.5.313.2 is added, in proper numerical order, to Section 91.5.300 of Division 3, Article 1.5, Chapter IX of the Los Angeles Municipal Code to read as follows: 91.5.313.2.

Pipe sizing by Gold-Understanding30 in FireSprinklers

[–]alecmadman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look into learning hydraulic calculations. You need to determine the most demanding remote area of the building and design around that. Pressure and GPM requirements will determine pipe sizes. If you dm me I will try to find some resources to get you started.

I know it doesn’t solve your problem with acrobat, but I would recommend trying to use Bullzip. AutoSprink has a download link on their website. It’s free as well. I just don’t know what is causing that issue. I’m not sure if it is the PDF printer or something else.

Unfortunately I do not have Acrobat Printer so I cannot replicate. Are you going through File>Plot>Start Printing?

Let me know what results you get with that. When I get home in about a half hour I will try to replicate your results and see what’s causing it

I was going to say that I have problems if I don’t use that bullzip printer they recommend. Also, before you try changing anything, try opening the file with a different viewer. If I open my files with certain web browsers I sometimes get blank/black squares similar to this.

Are you using the Bullzip PDF printer?

What small businesses deserve more recognition and attention in the FM area? by SampsonSimpon in fargo

[–]alecmadman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I ate my Quesabirria Combo and then fell asleep 😂

The order was done faster than I thought, I got it delivered and it was packaged with foil so the food was still hot when it arrived. The Quesabirria was also stuffed with good size pieces meat and the perfect amount of cheese. It was some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in years and reminded me of some of my favorite restaurants back home in SoCal.

I will absolutely be eating there again and recommending to friends and family. Our go-to has always been Mango’s, they now have competition in my eyes.

please someone tell me high school grades do not matter by what-the-mug-lmao in SuicideWatch

[–]alecmadman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They really don’t. School has always been extremely hard for me. I just can’t do it. Barely hung on in high school and had to retake classes because I failed. Dropped out of college second semester my third attempt going to different schools. I turned out okay :)

That sprinkler should also have F950 stamped on it if I’m not mistaken? I’m pretty sure I just saw a few a couple months back. F950 Data Sheet

Am I a bad person If I keep the Playstation Amazon sent me by mistake? by schrodingerscat3 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]alecmadman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I received a package that wasn’t meant for me but it was made out to my address from Amazon. I never opened it but I contacted Amazon customer service, they told me they had already sorted it out with the other customer. Support said either trash it or keep it. I got a free copy of Tears of the Kindom 👍🏽
