Subject: [Sprinklerforum] Adding sprinklers to system with mixed SR/QR listing

I am working on to an addition to an existing system that has Tyco EC-11 
pendent sprinklers. According to the data sheet, these sprinklers may be QR in 
some circumstances and SR in others. The addition I am working on will be using 
standard coverage sprinklers. The space is open to the area with the EC-11 
sprinklers but separated by a deep soffit. The design of the EC-11 is such that 
they are considered standard response by the listing. The obvious question is 
QR or SR for the new sprinklers? I am assuming QR because that is closer to the 
response time of the EC-11s despite the SR listing, but I am being questioned 
on this. Thoughts?
