Just make sure they don't need it to be a rated partition. Only the tyco window sprinklers provide a fire rating. Otherwise you are just providing a water curtain around the opening per NFPA 13.

I originally assumed that we would use the Tyco Window Sprinklers, but the windows on this project has multiple horizontal mullions in the windows (4 or 5).lowed with the Tyco heads. I was thinking of just deigning it as a Water Curtain, with the regular heads at 6' on center, with 3 gpm per lineal foot. Thoughts?
