chk with your TFP local guy for more, I've seen some brand-specific write-ups but I don't know how close you alignment is. If you haven't read James' white paper on Variables that affect the performance of a dry pipe system, you should in order to really understand how increasing air pressure in a dry sysem gievs better results, while others are offering low pressure valves that trip faster, but at extended transit times since there's less air stopping water from being diverted from the ITC/flowing heads..while you're looking at the index, take some time and educate yourself. If you have, understand a lot on the Forum prolly haven't. What I learned from Design Alternatives for Large Drops got me a $1.7m job, so don't necessarily think you're wasting your time.

I believe that Bed bath and beyond and others were provided with testing to support specific ceiling only sprinkler protection. These are now most likely listed as CMSA sprinklers, but I think the white papers are still available on the TYCO web page. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bobby Gillett Sent: Monday, April 11, 2011 7:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Retail Store Design Greg, Section 16 (Rack storage) will send you back to Misc Storage. That was the confusing part. This is a mercantile occupancy with a small area of storage in receiving not exceeding 12'-0 in height. They have gondola shelves on the sales floor (most of it) - not exceeding 12'-0 in height & the highest point of Top of Steel is 19'-0. Their specs are building it towards Misc Storage including types of sprinklers and referenced Table (12.1.10.1.1 in 2002) So with that said - which way to go?

Storage. So maybe that's what is happening? On Apr 11, 2011 6:44 AM, "Bobby Gillett" <[email protected]> wrote: > Matt, > > Thank you and I agree.
