Todd, Since occupancy classifications are based on quantity and/or combustibility and expected rates of heat release, uhhh...???

I am basing my design on 10 ft high storage of miscellaneous stuff, which I am calling Class IV. This would be a 0.20/1500 sprinkler density, which is the same as the requirement for OH2. Since I have a marginal water supply and am at the far end of the system, minimizing the design is critical. My question is this; can I use the RA deduction for QR heads in OH2 with the curves for low piled storage? Or does the fact that this is storage negate that reduction? Must be my day for question....
