You don't have any options, you do what FM wants.

They are the insurance carrier.

Mark-

So riddle me this, I’m working on a project that specifies ESFR heads and FM 
wants .42/2000. What are my options ?

So the answer is, no. FM has not banned ESFR systems.



They have just stopped recognizing the ESFR term.  Many sprinklers you know as 
‘ESFR’ they simply refer to as a ‘storage sprinkler.’  Likewise as Travis and 
Craig noted, there are some sprinklers they recognize as ‘storage’ that are not 
identified as ESFR by the manufacturer.

I may be having a senior moment but I swear I remember reading something about 
FM not allowing ESFR systems….. Is that even remotely true?
