So he wants to use mix&match; that is, he wants to install two different manufaturer's sprinklers in the same ceiling; more clearly. 1/3rd of the ceiling will be from one manufaturer, 2/3rd is from other manufaturer. Altough the temperature ratings and response type is same, K factors are slightly different; so they are not identical. Is this case covered by the code? Is it allowed? What is the article number? Thanks in advance.
