Exactly, though one difference may be in this case, the storage quantity may be more. I think this is a grey area in NFPA. We provide heads in walk-in freezers and coolers. But what are the chances for a fire inside these? Haven't heard of any, but I suppose there could be an electrical fault that could start a fire.

Never saw sprinklers in these. Argument is it's large appliance. Chris Cahill, P.E.

The cooler I am looking at is a beer cooler approx. 30 feet long, 10 feet deep and 7 feet high. It is full with shelves, and no one could "walk-in". Would it have to be sprinklered? Anyone has come across a similar situation or have any opinions?
