Todd, 
It seems to me that maybe a better head for you to use would be a "SW-24" by
Tyco.  They are listed for coverage up to 16' x 24', and they are listed as
standard response.  Also, I don't believe that "TY-FRB" Sidewall can cover
16x22.

Subject: both QR & SR sprinklers

I have been looking at an existing hotel building where each guest room has
a Central GB-LO extended coverage sidewall sprinkler covering the sleeping
area and a Central Model H sidewall covering the space between the sleeping
are and the room door. Since the GB-LO's are under recall, they are going to
be replaced, most likely with Tyco TY-FRB K8.0 extended coverage sidewalls.
My question is this; the Model H is a standard response sprinkler and the
TY-FRB's are listed for both standard and quick response. Even though it is
listed for SR, I assume that the response time is in QR territory. Is there
going to be a problem mixing these two sprinklers? The demand area is the
two sprinklers and the FRB spacing is 16x22 and we are using UL criteria.
