NFPA 13 | Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems 2025 Edition

ID 22889 | 07.11.2024 

The 2025 edition includes many technical additions and revisions, including:

- Inclusion of listed vacuum dry pipe systems in Chapter 8
- New provisions in Chapter 7, including allowing vapor phase corrosion inhibitors to be added to the air supply for dry pipe and preaction sprinkler systems as a method to reduce corrosion
- Several revisions for sprinkler placement and allowable omissions throughout the standard
- Revisions to Chapter 4, including dividing miscellaneous and low-piled storage protection requirements into two different sections
- Additions to Chapter 9, including allowing omission of sprinklers in elevator hoistways in most situations
- Revisions to Chapter 18, including updating load tables to incorporate seismic forces from piping and changing seismic coefficient (Cp) values to align with ASCE/SEI 7, Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures (For locations outside of the United States, Annex E has been modified to allow conformance with ASCE/SEI 7.)
