If its a house, then 13d criteria apply. And you can avoid the 15 sec by swapping cost of dry valve with AF loop, exp tank and solution. If this is in FL, wouldn't the AF be 10%/90%?

The owner has requested an add for a dry system to protect the garage. I know some will immediately say that this should be in accordance with 13 due to the size. I agree that the intent in 13D was probably geared toward 1-3 cars in a garage and not a dozen or more. However.... The dilemma is this: Not enough water for a 13 system. There is no foreseeable way to get water delivered in 15 seconds per 13D. I think they would be better off to heat the garage.. Does anyone have definitive info on this issue?
