We follow how they are listed. If the 3mm bulbs are spaced at SR, we utilize SR 
5mm bulbs for adjacent standard coverage sprinklers.

I would say if they're all being used as an SR sprinkler based on listing, I 
would put in SR sprinklers.  Is there an AHJ you can lean on?  That's what I 
would approach them with as far as logic.

Forumities,

This has likely been previously addressed, but it's just not coming back to me 
. . .

 

I've got an existing ordinary hazard area that is protected by existing EC 
sprinklers.  The existing EC sprinklers have fast response (3mm) elements and 
are listed as standard-response for the 20'x20' spacing they are protecting.  
If these sprinklers were protecting an area of 14' x 14', they would be listed 
as quick-response.

 

I need to add a couple standard-coverage sprinklers due to wall changes.
Should the new standard-coverage sprinklers be quick-response, or 
standard-response?

  gives me guidance if I were adding an identical EC sprinkler, but that's not 
what's happening.

 

Thanks in advance,

Ed K
