It's never too late, might cost the contractor more, but it's not too late.

Designer used 4.2K heads to get the flow exactly to the decimal of the required flow. This is an industrial type project. With a .15 gpm/sf density at 92 sf per head, the flow would be 13.8 gpm and he's dead on the money. The concern would be that over the years if there was any change in the water supply or decay of the piping, that the operation of half the design area would be questionable. > > Would you approve or reject this design?
