Is the occupancy light hazard? Are there any other combustibles besides the roof construction?. Can significant other materials be stored or used here? Will the tank cause sprinkler flow obstructions? Is the tank filled with water?
If you can answer these Q's you will have the answer.

The space is roughly 25 x 25. The height at the hip is 22 feet and at the peak of the roof is about 30 ft. The peak is in the geometric center and there are 4 sloped surfaces, similar to the top of the Washington Monument. The space is almost completely filled by an empty, open-topped steel tank about 20 ft high. There are existing sprinklers at the roof, but the piping is in bad shape and needs to be replaced. I designed a system using 7 regular sprinklers. The contractor who has to do the job has asked if the Tyco Attic Hip sprinklers could be used in this situation. My immediate reaction was no because I don't think this qualifies under the definition of an attic. However, I thought I would put it out to see if anyone has used them in this type of situation.
