- NFPA 13D system sizing and head layout
- Permit submittal with the local AHJ
- Pipe and head install sequenced around occupant routine
- Pressure testing and final inspection

FAQ
Adult Family Home Sprinkler Retrofit — questions
- Q.01What is the WA AFH sprinkler retrofit timeline?
- Retrofit deadlines are set by DSHS under the AFH licensing rules and vary by license class and inspection history. Send the DSHS correspondence you have and we'll tell you the window you are working inside before quoting.
- Q.02Can you install around residents who live in the home?
- Yes — most AFH retrofits happen in occupied homes. We sequence the work room by room, keep water service restored overnight, and coordinate with the home administrator so resident routine is the constraint, not ours.
- Q.03Does an AFH fall under NFPA 13D?
- Yes. Adult family homes fall under the same residential standard that covers one- and two-family homes. The design, head spacing, and water supply requirements follow 13D.
