Are there sprinklers above it? Then they are the calc area. Do other walls, rated or not, allow the omission with the Density area method?
The sprinklers in the cooler should be treated just like any other room. Unless the protection scheme is above.

Hey Folks, When dealing with coolers in restaurant kitchen areas do you guys include the sprinkler in the cooler in the calculations? I usually do but I'm second guessing myself since the cooler does not go up to the ceiling but is it's own compartment several feet below ceiling and has overhead protection. I'm wondering if the same provision that allows the omission of sprinklers from the calcs for obstructions such as ducts would apply?
