be treated in the way an obstruction is treated correct? If we could respace and be sufficient in the spacing of the other heads that would be the way out, but that is impossible it creates under/over spacing. Bobby Gillett Project Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] (731)-424-0130 -Original Message

I've done a few + and even with much coordination, they usually require some somewhere. We did one in 2002 that the insurance co. is now requiring them to add some under conveyors. Thank goodness we did the original design/installation where we have everything we need. Bobby Gillett Project

If I'm reading 8.6.5.1.2 correctly, it says if you are against the wall- the soffit has to be 30 or under to be able to use this. Anything over 30 that is against the wall would require additional sprinklers. Or am I having another Monday today? Bobby Gillett Project Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED

Are you saying the entire unit is above the deflector and nothing is below? If this is the case then you don't worry about the obstruction rule, but if the UH is lowered below the deflector -- then it becomes an obstruction. Bobby Gillett Project Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] (731)-424-0130
