I received more information… Existing dry system above a stairwell. They are adding a gyp ceiling 6 or 8’ below wood joist structure creating a combustible concealed space. I can’t find anything that says that they have to provide access to those sprinklers…probably only 4-6 heads.
I guess another option would be to add gyp to the bottom of the joists and fill above with insulation. Thanks for the input. Reed A.

I have installed many combustible concealed space heads that are hard to reach. Matt From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Reed A.
