With most control mode, you have Group A plastic and pallet storage limitations that you would NOT have with ESFR K14 or K17. If these are areas of concern, then that would be an issue.

Can You Live Without Them? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Harris Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2010 3:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Control Mode vs. ESFR Having issues with an existing job that was laid out using ESFR K17's, it was mentioned by a local PE that using a Control Mode sprinkler may be the answer. What are the pro's and con's with using a Control Mode sprinkler in a warehouse type setting? I've looked at some of the product data sheets and right away you can see the end head pressure is quite a bit lower than the ESFR. Are the obstruction rules the same? Etc...
