Here is what I was thinking. I agree if using standard coverage sprks
Examples 2 and 3 would need a sprk added, but it is not due to the distance
between B and C. Due to the round pattern and square spacing I believe
Example 4 is (at least) equivalent to Example 1.

 

Anyone with me on this?

 

thanks,

Brad

using extended coverage allows further distance from walls, which brings
heads closer than 21-2 1/2.

I'll chime in as well.

Example 3 is closer to being correct, as the sprinklers at B and C aren't
more than 7'-6" from a wall, measured perpendicular to the wall.

The error, to me, is the distance of 21'-2½" between B and C.  I don't see
how that would be allowable, even if you were using extended coverage
sprinklers.  Table 8.8.2.1.2 limits the distance between such sprinklers,
with the maximum being 20'-0" in OH and LH occupancies.

I don't see how that would be allowed.

#2 & #3 are both wrong.

#2 is spaced too far, measured perpendicularly, from the angled wall.

#3 will require an additional sprinkler between B and C. If you draw a 15X15
square template on your drawings you will see an obvious void of sprinkler
coverage requiring protection.

The problem with A.8.6.3.2.3 is that it only shows the one sprinkler. What
I'm concerned about is the distance between sprinklers B and C. In example 3
all the sprinklers are spaced correctly from the walls but B and C are 21'-2
1/2" apart. The way I understand it, they still need to be 15'-0" along that
wall, even though they're spaced correctly from every wall. Is that correct?

Check out A.8.6.3.2.3 it should shed some light on it.

Subject: Angled Wall Spacing

 

I am wondering if I've been thinking about sprinkler spacing along angled
walls properly. What I mean is walls not at a right angle. The PDF I made in
the link below really helps explain it. In example 1, four heads are spaced
correctly at 225 sq. ft. In examples 2 and 3 one of the walls is angled. My
question is, are either example 2 or 3 correct, or are they both wrong? My
thought is that example 2 is incorrect, and for example 3 to be correct
there would need to be an additional sprinkler along the angled wall between
sprinklers B and C.
