Sprinklers below escalators
Sprinklers below escalators
(OP)
I am designing the sprinkler system for a building with escalators that traverse multiple floors. As much as I would like to eliminate sprinklers from below the escalators, I don't think I can since they are greater than 4' wide. I attached a picture of a similar layout for the escalators to clarify. The floor opening around the escalators is much smaller in my case so I do have the vertical opening protection.
Am I missing anything here?

Where do you think the sprinklers should be?

What the heck, how many more heads can it be?

NFPA 13 states sprinklers are required under stairways as well [8.15.3] but also refers to escalators as 'moving stairways' so I would install sprinklers beneath them.
