What about Para .9 that allows you to increase the spacing to 10'-0" for a 
given level? This para's explanation is indicative of pilot heads with nothing 
above them to collect heat.

I also sent this to NFPA.

Subject: RE: pilot lines

If it's outside - 8ft.  It's either inside or outside. 

Is this for a deluge system?
