In response to the original question, is it just me or are we over-thinking 
this? 
NFPA 13 says that when using residential heads, you calculate the 4 heads that 
produce the greatest hydraulic demand.  No mention of units, rated walls, 
corridors, type of construction, etc. 
  
I didn't know George Church, but I would have liked him.

I'd probably grab the adjacent sprinkler in the adjacent room.

I have a NFPA 13 building with Dwelling Units.  They each have three 
Residential Sprinklers.  13 requires a four head calc.  Can I calc the 3 
residential sprinklers and pick up one QR sprinkler in the corridor and still 
satisfy the 4 head requirement?  Or, should I pick up one residential sprinkler 
from an adjacent dwelling room? 

  

Thank you,
