I am working on a project where they are going to have 9 ft x 20 ft tables located 16" off the floor. Not sure if the tables will be built with 2x8 or 2x10 framing. Under normal circumstances, we would need to have sprinklers installed under the tables. However, if the distance from the bottom of the joist to the floor is 6" or less, could it be considered a "concealed space" and sprinkler be eliminated? I would assume if those sprinklers were eliminated, the design area for the ceiling would increase to 3000 sqft.
