Layer(s) affected:                   SPRNKS

Alias:                                       SR

Associated Commands:         [Select Sprinkler] [Insert Sprinkler]

HydraCAD Ribbon:                 Insert Panel

Used for inserting up to four sprinklers in a room. When you select Small Room, HydraCAD will prompt with: Pick one corner of room

Pick a corner of the room. The example shows the bottom left corner picked. HydraCAD will then prompt with: Please pick opposite diagonal corner of room

Pick the corner diagonal to the first picked corner.

If necessary, the program will zoom so that the whole room is visible. HydraCAD will respond with:

How Many Heads < 1-4 > in Room, My Guess is …<4>:

HydraCAD will estimate the number of heads required. Light Hazard spacing criteria is used for 1 head and Ordinary Hazard criteria is used for 2 to 4 heads. Press Enter to accept the estimated number or enter your own number from the keyboard.

HydraCAD will insert the sprinklers, centered in the room and display the area of coverage. If only one head is being placed and there is an object already at that location, you will be asked to move the head or press Esc to place the head at the same location as the object.

*Tip* - The room does not have to be surrounded by walls on all sides or even need to be a ‘room’ at all. Spacing will be calculated from the two points picked regardless of the walls drawn.
