That is what the contractor is arguing. The NFPA 13 definitions of
draft curtains are in reference to separation of ESFR and SR, water
spray systems and hazard separation.
It is an outside the box thinking for sure. As you say, if it is
stapled to the deck, that would prevent heat from passing through and
over. That is the only criteria in the datasheet.

I say it does meet it.
Insulation by default blocks heat..

Well, the customer called Tyco and they could not say definitively if the
insulation would meet the requirements or not.

I have a customer that is asking if batt insulation can be secured to the roof
decking and used as a draft curtain for the Tyco CC sprinklers. I have never
seen an application such as this, but it doesn't seem to be prohibited in the
datasheet. The only requirement is that it must be constructed of a material
so that heat can not pass through or over.
What do you think? Could insulation secured to the roof/floor deck serve as a
draft curtain for these sprinklers? My gut feeling is that it would not be
suitable, but I can't find something in the data sheet to support that. My
only thought is that activation of a sprinkler could possibly knock the
insulation down.
