This was a first for me to day. During an inspection of a residential
system today, the AHJ inspector would put a dot on the floor and run his
tape in a circle at the spacing limit of the heads. He would not sign
off on the system because the heads were 8' off of each wall, but with
the radius, that leaves a "dry" spot in the corner of the room. He did
the same thing in rooms with multiple heads. The heads were 16' apart.
There were 4 heads in this room. He would draw circles on the floor of
an 8' radius. Since there was not overlap of his circles, he would not
pass the system today.
Has anyone ever encountered this? How did you address it? This is a
new inspector and he admits that fire sprinklers are not his specialty,
but he has to do this job.
