Mike,

Usually the Electrical Inspectors that I have dealt with do not want
sprinkler main piping that runs through the room. If a main is to pass
through then there can be no joints within the space. If a sprinkler head is
to be installed then we pipe it in from outside the room and usually are
required to install a indicating control valve with tamper switch.
