Again, going from memory as well. Isn't / Wasn't there something saying that you need to use the fewest number of sprinklers able to protect the area. So, if you have a 20'x30' room, you need to use 2 sprinklers at 20'x20' spacing, instead of using 4 at 16'x16'. Using 2 sprinklers, you are calculating flowing 40 gallons for the 2 sprinklers vs 26 gallons for 2 sprinklers with 4 heads in the room, both scenarios protecting the same space. Is that possibly what he is referring to?

I believe that this is actually a 13R requirement though. Maybe this is the confussion.

I was told that he is working off an old standard from 1988 or so. Anyone have recollection of this.
