Forum members, your opinions please!
I've run into this twice this week: a small ceiling pocket that (per 13) requires sprinklers, but due to its size, it seems crazy to sprinkler it. The most recent is a curtain pocket along an exterior wall. In plan view, it's 25' long (entire length of wall) and the width varies from 4.5" to 13" (plan view area = 22 sf). The depth is 44". The volume = 81 cf. Since it's deeper than 36", there are no options to not sprinkler it. For a pocket this small, does it seem reasonable to require sprinklers? Did the fire modeling that was done prior to the 2002 edition of 13 consider small but deep pockets?
