Actually, the deal was the wood. A combustible surface. FR wood wasn't pretty enough. My thoughts were the wood is glued or nailed to a drywall surface. Drywall was noncombustible, the space above the drywall was concrete, metal lath and metal studs which is a noncombustible space. I would think that even with a B-tank (torch) you couldn't start the stuff on fire very easily. If it did start on fire, wouldn't the heat be coming from the floor and wouldn't the sprinklers extinguish the fire below?? I give up.

Only meant an additional 20 or so sprinklers in an elevator lobby corridor so that we might protect the decorative ceiling with the pendent sprinklers. I want to retire. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fletcher, Ron Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2007 10:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: 8.6.7 Ceiling Pockets Ed, A new guy here put a sprinkler in each skylight and I challenged him on why. He pointed to 8.6.7 and asked if they could be omitted where it said that. Damned if I could find anything in 13. _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
