I probably need to ask the question differently.
What's the maximum protection area (80 sf, 100 sf, 120 sf, 196 sf, ????) and what's the maximum spacing (10', 12', 14', ????) for standard sidewall sprinklers installed beneath overhead doors in an extra hazard or storage occupancy? Section 8.7.3.1.7 isn't applicable since is specifically addresses ordinary hazards. Table 8.7.2.2.1 isn't applicable since it doesn't include extra hazard nor storage.

Section 8.4.2 (2016 edition) says I can use them beneath OH doors (no restriction on the occupancy). Section 8.7.3.1.7 tells me protection area and maximum spacing in an ordinary hazard occupancy can be per light hazard requirements. But where do I find criteria for extra hazard and/or storage occupancies? Ed K Bamford Fire
