Can the kitchen cabinetry/countertops, etc.... be eliminated from the floor space being protected in a 13R application ? I have a kitchen that is littered with multiple diffusers and lights and in order to make the spacing work out correctly, I won't be able to space the head in the kitchen at 8'-0" off of the wall that the countertops and cabinetry are attached to. Since we are protecting floor space with the spray pattern wetting the wall, would it be acceptable to exclude the area the countertops take up from the distance off the wall ?
No matter what I do, I am closer than 2'-0" from the diffusers, closer than 0'-6" from the lights and within 18" from the stove. However, I found a "sweet spot" that puts me an acceptable distance from each of the heat sources, but the head is 8'-6" from the back kitchen wall - but this is the wall that has the kitchen counter tops, dishwasher, and cabinets attached to. Would the head still be considered over-spaced in this regards ? Technically speaking, I would say no since there is no wall there to be wetted in the first place as the counter and cabinets take up said wall. Why say you ? Sean Lockyer Project Designer 6817 N.
