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.

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?
