Thom, That would seem to be a different scenario to me, but I did say we need more information. If his "large space" is a warehouse that brings up more questions yet. If his large space is 8,000; 80,000; or 800,000 square feet there are more questions and why.
I have seen sprinkler lines and mains interconnected numerous times with no documentation making it impossible to know what system is shut down or to shut down. Several times fitters have almost removed (could tell before that last turn) or removed sprinklers or pipe from a live system... A warehouse is a little easier to track piping in compared to a hospital.

It's one room but may have twenty systems. Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O.

Which do you turn off in emergency? Remodeling?
