When in doubt as to the rationale in cases like this it is a good idea to consult the local AHJ for an opinion of what they will accept. Sometimes it's just not as easy as black and white. You've got to look at the whole picture. Anybody got any fire history from spontaneous combustion of racquetball players? ;) Craig L.

This is a quote from the 2000 IFC commentary. Usually the contractor ends up with concealed sprinklers in the ceiling. rick matsuda, city of dallas >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/21/07 11:58AM >>> Yes, that exception is for Group A-3 Occupancies, which would fit for this type of application. Just take a look at section 903.2.1.3 (2006) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum
