We installed sprinklers in a private girl's school in Phila. 4 years ago. Originally they wanted exposed piping, but then decided they needed the smooth surface. We installed concealed sprinklers and the ground rules of the court were made that if the cover plate was knocked off, the game stopped until it is replaced. Surprisingly we do the inspections there, and all the covers are still in place in all 4 courts!

Forget about exposed pipe. These court are smooth boxes. Try a concealed or an institutional head.

I am trying to find a head that could be used in a racquetball court. It has to be a sidewall head because to top of the court is the roof. The court is 20' wide which means I probably need an extended coverage head. I have talked with Tyco and he had no suggestions. I know these courts have been around for years so at some point someone has sprinkled them Any help would be great.
