There is no prohibition to having a pre-action system adjacent to a wet 
sprinkler system.  There might be storage configurations or processes where you 
want the additional protection of a double interlocked pre-action system, but 
there is no need for that level through the remaining spaces.  The detection 
would only be required over the area protected by the pre action system.

Subject: Pre-action in same space as wet pipe system

Seeking opinions about a proposal where a pre-action system covers part of a 
large space, the other parts being covered with a wet pipe system.  There is no 
separation between the two system types.

Thanks in advance,
