I was thinking that the standard changed to 60" but I may be mistaken or on another planet. I don't have 2016 in front of me. I know 2013 allows using SSU once it exceeds 36".
I'm not sure how the cost compares to QR SSU but I do know that there are sprinklers listed for CCS up to 60" deep with 16 x 16 spacing on the market now.

If so, then specially listed are not mandated. If so, I have always used the QR reduction for 10' ceiling height in those spaces provided it is a wet system. I have had some AHJs require I go to the floor to get my deck height. So, if you were 14' floor to floor with a 10' ceiling and 24" open web floor trusses, then you could use QR SSU to protect. A conservative approach would be to go with 14' for your QR reduction point.

Could anyone tell me if my assumptions are right?
