That's what I pictured when I wrote my ramble.

Rocci,
It sounds like your situation looks something like this:

If this is the case then you have a situation similar to 8.15.1.2.5 and 
sprinklers should be able to be omitted.


Thank you,

Subject: non combustible/limited combustible space

We have a hotel we are working on and we have limited space in the corridors 
(surprise surprise)  so I am trying to not sprinkle the concealed space in the 
corridor. Situation is a concrete deck with min. ½" plywood sheathing below it  
followed by 2x8 wood joists with (2) layers of 5/8" type X gyp. The ceiling 
below is 1 5/8" metal joists with 1 layer of 5/8" type X  gyp , attached 
directly to ceiling  joists. ( We have roughly 12" from bottom of (2) layers of 
gyp to top of ceiling framing.)  Because the 2x8 are covered with 2 layers of 
5/8" gyp can I consider this space non/limited combustible per 8.15.1.2.2? (BTW 
the architect is calling this out as a 1 hour rated assembly.)

Thank you
