The Reliable last I looked threw furthest, the Viking requires their special attic head which has a lot of limitations to do the wider than base listing design where I think at least one of the others can do it with standard uprights etc. Typically I run down the middle low and jump up to short trees for the BB heads so we can keep the whole thing pitched one or two ways so we're not filling a building with drum drips and potential future failure points. Typically the ends/corners I do in standard spray heads by splitting and going out to the edge and climbing back up the slope. Smaller pipe is a lot easier to inevitably re-work since these are very difficult to get right becaus e of access, speed at which they're framed out and the fact that even when they're "typical" they're not typical.

Seems were seeing more and more wood framed buildings these days and with that comes attics. Just curious what the general school of thought is with running piping in these spaces. Is it better to run the Main high under the ridges with back to back heads (size permitting) or is it better run Mains low and then run smaller Mains up the slope feeding branches at the ridges? I'm working on a job now that kinda resembles a long rectangle with no center (courtyards). I have all the heads laid out with B/B at the ridges, some AP's in the corners & throughout as needed. Just looking for ideas from some of you with much more attic experience than I have. Brian Harris, CET BVS Systems Inc.
