In the spring of 2009, South Hadley amended its building code to require that 3-family structures are to include a fire sprinkler system. As our "tri-plex" is considered a 3 family structure, we redesigned our plans to incorporate both the sprinkler system and a fire separation wall.The first photo (on the right) shows how the wall is constructed, beginning with the foundation and base. The fire separation wall, or the privacy wall, is positioned between each attached home, providing an additional safety factor should a fire ever occur.
The construction is comprised of 5/8" drywall, followed by a 2 x 11" framed wall, R-15 high density insulation, a 1" air space, a 2" firewall (green fire resistant panel), and then the reverse of a 1' air space, 2 x 4" framed wall, R-15 high density insulation and the 5/8" dry wall.
The second photo shows the upper most peak with the fire separation wall in place.
