Yes. That’s an option as well. I have a pump so I am not terribly worried about the demand. However the difference in price between a residential pendent and something like a Tyco EC-5 is over $10. And I’m looking at over 1,000 of these buggers.

Residential sprinklers are “permitted” in dwelling units, not “required”, right? Couldn’t you use any one of a number of commercial QR extended coverage sprinklers? That might mess you up if you are trying to do a 4-sprinklers residential calc… or it could help because you could get a larger K-factor and lower starting pressure for 20x20. -Kyle M *From:* Sprinklerforum [ mailto:sprinklerforum-boun...@lists.firesprinkler.org <sprinklerforum-boun...@lists.firesprinkler.org>] *On Behalf Of *John Irwin *Sent:* Tuesday, November 21, 2017 4:27 AM *To:* sprinklerforum@lists.firesprinkler.org *Subject:* [EXTERNAL] Interesting issue .. residential sprinklers .. I am working on a project with a lot of 20x20 rooms in dwelling units. I have a concrete deck so my piping will be exposed. I am trying to find a 20x20 solutions but keep running in to road blocks. Maybe someone has an idea. The way I see it, I need one of the following … I need a residential pendent sprinkler that can be installed with a deflector distance from the deck greater than allowed by NFPA 13 OR I need a residential UPRIGHT sprinkler listed for 20x20 spacing OR I need a listed hanger attachment that will allow me to install 1" branch piping tight to a concrete deck. And go. John Irwin DynaFire, Inc.
