Sounds like it ought to be treated more like a walkin box to me, despite the lack of walk-in. Its still a big insulated panel box full of product. Since hte product is pretty non-flam, maybe local AHJ, etc would bless omitting

Sprinklers in this case, I believe, would be similar to sprinklering the inside of the entertainment center because it's big or the dresser because it's a storage facility for textile products in transit. That is, of course, if Tony's unit is just a big refrigerator.
