Minimum spacing for G4 XLO QREC Quick Response, Extended Coverage
(OP)
Happy New Year everyone!
I think I know the answer but being a slow holiday (yeah, I'm working) I thought I would ask the collective wisdom this forum supplies.
Minimum spacing for the Reliable Model G4 XLO QREC Quick Response, Extended Coverage Concealed Sprinkler
Cut sheet:
http:// www.reliab lesprinkle r.com/pdfs /products/ 144%20G4XL O%20QREC%2 0Concealed %20Conceal erPlus.pdf
Minimum sprinkler spacing is 10.5 ft.
Consider the sketch htt p://img403 .imageshac k.us/img40 3/7851/g4x loqrec.jpg
I think I can space these sprinklers < 10'-6" apart if there is a soffit as shown. Other than cold showering is there any other reason for the minimum spacing requirement?
This is a really large job for me and I don't need to be making silly mistakes.
Thanks.

Neither NFPA 13 or the datasheet specify a minimum square footage for EC heads (like ESFR), so my interpretation is that the concern lies with cold-soldering, and not overwhelming the system due to excessive heads being opened.

(3) Baffles shall be not less than 8 in. (203 mm) wide and 6 in. (152 mm) high.
I am going to play safe.... I think what I will do is place them 10'-6" apart.

For most of it I'm hitting 18'x18' but a messier than usual ceiling layout, with multiple pockets and light fixtures centered in those pockets, that keep away head placement.
