A light hazard wet pipe sprinkler system using quick-response sprinklers with a 18 ft (5.58 m) ceiling would be allowed

what percentage area of reduction on the remote area?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In a light hazard wet pipe system with quick-response sprinklers and a ceiling height of 18 feet, a 0.32 area reduction percentage is commonly allowed for the remote area. This accounts for the lower fire load and risk associated with light hazard occupancies.
