Brian, I mis-spoke about the shunt trip thing- what I was wondering is do you have a control valve for the head(s) in the Elev. Equip. Rm.? (usually located outside the room so the head(s) can be turned off with-out going in there) This I think would be the main reason for not going through and feeding other heads. The QR in EH thing: it is not allowed when the density/area method is used (to prevent a ton of heads from going off I guess), so it would not apply to 1 head in a pit, right? AHJ: "You DID use the density/area method, 3rd floor, east side, your "Calc Area #1". :)

The 'letter' of the code allows it I think, but I go by one code I call the 2010 edition of B.O.S.S. Are the other couple of heads on the shunt too? I would use standard response high temp heads in the Elev. Equip.-- you want the heat detector going off before the head. And the head in the pit should be SR high temp-- flammable liquid is EH, and you cannot use QR in EH. -----Original Message----- From: Brad [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 4:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Elevator Equipment Rooms Brian, Would you be able to post that section I e-mailed you- (the relevant parts)- it is a little vague, and some feed-back from the pros here might help you- I would do it but I do not know how -----Original Message----- From: Brian Harris [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 3:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Elevator Equipment Rooms Thom- No need to be a smart @$$.....
