Best thing for a contractor to do in this case is NOT to just put on cages that "work", but to first check with the Mfr for a listed/Approved model; if none available, RFI Architect and ask for direction since specified item does not appear to be available. It would be smart to check with more than one mfr unless Architect has specified a certain specific mfr.

If my old brain can remember, I cannot think of any head guard that is listed for the ECOH sprinkler. I might need to be "educated". Have a fire safe day!
