I have an interesting situation that I would like some input on. I am doing an as-built drawing for an indoor playscape based on a medieval village. There are a lot of small spaces that need to be sprinklered. One of them is a tunnel, approximately 2 ft wide by 2 ft high with an arched ceiling. The tunnel turn in a roughly 90 degree arc and is approximately 8 ft long. Per Code, a sprinkler is required in this space, which has been installed. However, my concern is that if the sprinkler goes off while a child is inside, is the discharge going to potentially cause a injury or trauma to the child? We have a static pressure in the street of 116 psi, so there would be a lot of water going into a small space very rapidly. Anybody else run into something like this?
