I've seen it done from those doing the same thing...trying to cut costs of the system. However, I don't see in NFPA 13 where that is an acceptable installation. But, I could be wrong.

In all reality from a practical view, it seems to make sense. A similar arrangement is often used for elevators and elevator machine rooms.
