I don't suppose you have a picture?

We did a church several with exposed construction. We had the painter paint
the pipe, fittings and hangers the same color as the ceiling. This was a
sloped ceiling and there was no way to enlist sidewalls and run the pipe up the
slope along the beam. We had to run horizontal branch lines between the beams
to get the spacing right.
The Arch. Wasn't happy but fortunately understood code requirements outweighed
his creative preference.
When it was complete we were all surprised how well the system just blended
into the background. Unless you really looked for it, the sprinkler system was
virtually invisible to the casual glance.

Impossible to seal off - it is open on the sides to a Lobby basically.
He is a stickler for sure for what he wants the way he wants it. He
wanted us to run the pipe on the roof within the tapered insulation... I
said sure, but we would not warranty it.
Its going to be a fight.

I believe that even with a deluge system you have to install heads per the
listing. So you couldn't do his method anyway.
Tell him to seal it all off and use FM200. That may cost a fortune but you have
to pay for what you want.

Subject: difficult one
The situations is this:
Preface - I have already exhausted the "you can't because" in trying to
convince him to run two lines exposed in this space.
Light Hazard
Corridor / Lobby with a center section Sloped, exposed construction 8
in on 12in - 20' in width
On each side the ceiling drops about 4' to smooth flat ceilings
The architect wants to find a way to eliminate exposed pipe. He prefers
to use sidewalls on the vertical 4' sides which I told him we could not do..
His question is can he install detection at the peak, use sidewalls as
described above with a deluge valve.
Does anyone have any other creative ideas for this situation?
Thanks,
Greg
