I have a combustible concealed space above the main floor of a two storey building that is required to be sprinklered. This space is 16" deep and consists of open web trusses spaced 16" on-centre. The webs are made of 2x4's, causing considerable obstructions. This space qualifies for the use of heads listed for this use.
My questions/dilemmas are as following: (1) There is no feasible possibility to avoid obstructions. Any comments? (2) As far as I know, the CC heads are only made by TYCO and they are not ULC listed. I'm in a Canadian jurisdiction. So can I say there is no listed head (as the building code validates only ULC listings) and use standard heads? (3) If I use CC heads, can I use exposed blazemaster piping (subject to the restrictions of course)? The problem is exposed blazemaster piping is allowed only in its UL listing and not in ULC. So just going around in circles. Thanks for any comments.
