Rod:
Marriott can be tricky. Yes, that is a public space. They have only recently allowed the use of concealed sprinklers. In the architects I have worked with on these properties, we have still been doing recessed sprinklers and not concealed. The 2015 edition of Module 14 is where they started allowing concealed sprinklers. Prior to that, they prohibited the use of concealed sprinklers. I guess in a round about way, if you are held to the specifications, then I think they have you on that one, especially if you have concealed sprinklers in the remainder of the public spaces.

From: Sprinklerforum <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Rod DiBona Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2018 11:27 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Kyle Watson <[email protected]> Subject: definition of public space We have a Marriott hotel where we installed a dry system with SR Dry pendants in the porte cochere. The specifications call for concealed heads in all public areas. The specifications also refer to Module 14 that says that concealed heads are not preferred. We submitted the SR dry heads and got approved drawings. Now after installation and the stucco ceiling finished the GC has directed us to remove and replace with concealed heads per the specifications. Do you consider the porte cochere to be a public space? All definitions I have found seem to indicate that it is. For those out there doing Marriott properties have you seen these done with SR or have they all been concealed? Thanks. Rod at Rapid
