Where city water provides the sole fire protection water supply, hydraulic calculations should utilize 90% of the supply.Ħ. Flow test analysis and calculations are to be submitted along with all shop drawings. Flow tests are to be witnessed by the University Fire Protection Officer or his designee. All fire sprinkler designs involving more than 100 sprinkler heads are to be based on a current flow test of the available water supply. Contact the BYU-Idaho Fire Protection Officer for more details.ĥ. Required Specifications for the installation of fire suppression equipment designed for the protection of commercial cooking operations can be obtained at BYU-Idaho Safety Office.
