Greg, The TYCO BB1 might be a good fit. They are spaced 6' O.C. and 16 - 22" down from the peak. This would require only one row of sprinklers and probably not more than 1-1/2" piping. Of course this depends on your water supply. For your situation, if I understand it correctly, you will only need a 9.6 psi start pressure.

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?
