Chris, After re-reading the text in 13, it seems clear to me that you would not need sprinklers since your overhang is less than 4' in width. It seems that this entire section is hinged upon "exterior roofs or canopies exceeding 4' in width". Since 8.14.7.4 is in this section, it too would be subject to the 4' dimension.

Combustible construction over 4' gets heads but what if there are combustibles under an overhang that is 2' (or any dimension under 4'). I don't believe 8.14.7 of the '02 is written in hierarchical order or dependant on each other. 8.14.7.4 roof or canopies where combustibles are used or stored, period. Which around here this is every Quickie Mart. Have one official wanting heads in an 18" overhang wood frame. Can't say if he's right or wrong. Handbook isn't any help. Chris Cahill, P.E.
