Todd, I'm working on a similar sounding situation in an IHOP Restaurant currently in review by the AHJ with 14/12 pitch and a flat area about 3' wide at the peak. As Scott posted the heads probably would activate better on the flat, but...it seems in a situation of a steeply pitched ceiling and a narrow flat area that the slope interferes with the spray pattern of a head installed on the flat. I chose on the slope and within 1'. Kurt Kingston Commercial Fire Protection Inc.

There are 4 branch lines running the length of the sanctuary, parallel to the ridge line. The architect now wants to flatten a section of the ceiling in the center. Of course the two center lines, which are already piped, are located right above the change from slope to flat. We now have to locate the sprinklers either on the slope or on the flat, but within a foot or two of the joint. What would be the preferred location? Todd G.
