Good Monday morning (at least out west) to all. I have a question
I'd like
to pose. It is both practical and somewhat hypothetical. This
sort of
relates to a question from the other day, and I didn't really catch
the
general consensus of the group. Anyway, on to the predicament. In
an attic
space, or open wood truss space, with a pitch of 4 in 12 or greater,
8.6.4.1.4.3, dictates a minimum of six feet from the eave, measured
along
the slope. What do you do when you have a hip at one end of the
building?
For example, I have a project where to maintain the six feet from
the eave,
I must be 5'-8.25" from the eave, measured horizontally. This
distance
leaves me 8'-5" from the corner of the building before crossing the
hip, and
being under a different slope. What about this uncovered area? Do
you
violate the rule with one sprinkler and pitch it to cover both
areas? Do
you violate the rule with two heads and install a baffle? Does
NFPA have
any recommendations? Do the experienced designers have any
recommendations?
Hopefully I explained this all well enough for everyone to
understand. I
would be more than happy to send a .pdf to anyone interested in
contacting
me off-line.
Thanks,
