Application and Design
This section is intended to provide general design and
application guidelines for designing pipe networks in
conjunction with the FAAST system. It contains design
considerations and recommendations on how the FAAST
system may be installed in various applications.
Design
There are basic requirements that must be followed for a good
site design. The more information that is obtained up front, the
easier the process will be. The following list is good information
to have when designing a pipe network.
• Understand local codes, standards, and regulations
• Gather all relevant information about the site, including
the floor plan for the protected space. The floor plan must
also include existing or proposed fixtures, fittings, air
handlers, vents and other equipment that requires special
consideration.
• Determine the uses of the protected area to establish any
special requirements.
• Verify the protection level required for the area, i.e.
Standard, Early Warning, or Very Early Warning
Fire Detection.
• Use the PipeIQ software to design the pipe network
for the FAAST detector.
