I've put a few K8s over truck dock overhangs and the like, but due to the new restrictions on AF concentrations we've ripped the only one our current client has out and replaced it with Tyco's ECOH dry sidewalls since we can't even hit lowest recorded temp protection in the lower midwest with the maximum concentrations allowed, not to mention the maintenance costs associated with premix only AF, full refill only etc. I can't imagine an application where smaller K would make much sense in a commercial occupancy other than where construction features limited spacing pretty severely.

Here in the north country we use k5.6 primarily. I am not asking about ESFR antifreeze systems, these would be systems that are not ESFR Freezer systems or any residential systems, just other commercial/industrial systems. I would really appreciate the Forum's (coast-to-coast and border-to-border) input in the next hour or so. Sorry for the short notice. Thanks in advance, Scott A.
