Incompetent architects that issue building plans without checking if the construction method is allowed by NFPA 13 are a scourge upon the industry (lol). I would talk to the AHJ about putting two rows of heads 3 ft. down along the slope. If there were no ceiling and it was exposed to the OH1 Parking beneath that would be okay, I think.

Overkill for sure, The Tyco Attic heads would be very difficult to use I think. Thanks, Greg On Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 4:30 PM, Travis Mack <[email protected]> wrote: > Tyco attic sprinklers?
