Does the area meet any of the exceptions of NFPA 13 or the TN Code
which would allow a space not to be sprinklered?

But the question still is; is there somewhere in the code that states that
this is how you treat a steamroom. In other words do I have to have that
area covered?

Subject: Re: Steam Room
Actually we use 360'F heads in our sauna's and 286 in steam rooms. Steam is
212'F max unless its under pressure, (at a pressure above atmospheric) which
should never occur in a steam room. The sauna is higher because the
electrical cut out is usually well over 200'F (As high as 300). We protect
both as light haz.. even tho the sauna has un-treated wood thru out, can
have more in the way of combustible lotions oils and towels in contact with
the dry heat element, than is usually able to happen in the non-combustible
steam room.

I talked with a sauna rep awhile back on this same issue. They
recommend a 286 deg head.
