Vince,

I believe that you are fine with your spacing since you are going up the
slope with your 11-6½ (if I understand your description).  If you space your
heads 10' apart perpendicular to the slope then you have to go to a 20 psi
end head condition.  Just keep your heads at 8' apart and you are fine.
Your spacing will end up 8 x 11-6½.  

I hope this makes sense.  If not, let me know and I can call you.  It's very
difficult for me to put into words what is easy to show with a picture or
snapshot.

Subject: SLOPAGE STUFF

Need some help w/ dry sprinkler spacing before I 
hang myself along with the pipe!

Referring to Table 8.6.2.2.1 (a) - (spacing along slopes),

I have this condition:

Wood trusses, 36 in or less, pitching 6"/ft

The "bay" is 31-0 actual, resulting in a line spacing of  10-4, or 11-6½
on that slope.

My question:

Does that slope dimension of 11-6½  - apply to the
perpendicular dimension of 10 ft in that table?

If not, can someone make sense of this?
