maintaining a minimum number of sprinklers in the remote area trumps a percentage reduction allowance. The actual size obviously depends on the assigned As as well as the type of sprinkler. This requirement is NOT limited to extended coverage but we would hate for anyone to ASSUME it's requirement for a minimum of 5 is superceded by this allowance.

If one is designing sprinklers in a one story building that is 1,000
sq.ft. can you use the quick response reduction and reduce the design
area to 600 sq.ft.?

If not, does anyone have insight into why one of the QR reduction
criteria is a minimum of 5 heads?
