Anyone still putting in wet fire sprinklers as opposed to wet chem systems under kitchen hoods? And if so would it make a difference if there was a deep fryer or not?
Got an engineer that thought sprinklers would be cheaper to use than wet chem. on a very small hood. Well after finding a main and a control valve and flow switch and ITV I doubt it. No fryer, although I'm told we can still get EA-1 heads that are still listed, they are listed in my Tyco book. We haven't done one in at least 10 or 15 years. My concerns are sealing the penetrations especially in the duct (I can pipe around the hood w/o penetrating I guess). I can get stainless pipe no problem. Just curious. Chris Cahill, P.E.
