The dry sidewall might appease them if all they were worried about was an intermittent drip. What I hear more often is the fear of someone busting the head and millions of gallons of water dumping into the closet resulting in numerous IT personnel drownings and electronic equipment getting wet and ruined.

One of my thoughts to offer them was a dry type sidewall. I can get it set about 10" below the steel deck and still hide the pipe above the corridor drop ceiling. Maybe in a 360 degree rating? It would keep the water (wata) out of the room. Tom Dual Interlock Pre-Action? For one head in a closet? YIPERS! DIPA?? In my best Sherman: "Gee Mr. Peabody, what's that?" Tom Sounds like they're concerned with water damage and not mission continuity. I would recommend a DIPA system. Either way, it seems like a lot of effort for one sprinkler. Inergen would likely require pressure relief venting. Ray Schmid I was wondering if I could get recommendations of advice to give a client. Their IT guy is bugging them about a head we put in a server closet. It's just a 6' w x 3' deep closet with their rack and a little ductless ac unit. No raised floor, liebert or big ups equipment and certainly not sealed. I offered high temp head but they're scared about water (wata). Should I suggest total flooding inergen? Low temp rate of rise heat detector? I have to have an exhaust system installed with inergen, right? I think they'd have to enclose the closet to keep in the gas.
