Sorry but unless you can convince the EOR, AHJ and Insurance people of your concept, it just ain’t gonna fly.
Designing something completely contrary to the manufacturers listing based on a feeling or opinion alone is a recipe for litigation. And if you look at some of the FM Global recommendations for storage there are times when the recommendation seems to be contradictory to logic as far as using higher temperature and different design criteria but they have actual testing as their backup.

That is for big open spaces beacase you could have a bunch of heads going off way over there when the emergency is way over here. Small spaces with fast fires are better off if you use low temp qr and calc every head possible going off On Aug 8, 2016 5:02 PM, "Zachary Siegrist" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I was taught that sidewall sprinklers cannot be used in an extra hazard application. At least that is what I recall. Additionally, the protection areas and maximum spacing table for sidewall heads do not have any information for extra hazard occupancies. I am reviewing a set of plans for a paint spray booth and sprinklers must be spaced in ducts at 12 foot intervals. The designers called out sidewall sprinklers on plans. How is this best accomplished if you can't use sidewall sprinklers?
