Can I assume that this elevation change would serve the same purpose as a draft 
curtain or would one still be needed?

NFPA 13 12.3 - elevation change of at least 2'-0 and above an aisle with a 
minimum of 2'-0 of clearance to each side of the center of the aisle.


 

Thanks

We have a building where there is a roof height that changes elevation by 
10’-0”.

The higher roof will have ESFR protection. The lower roof will be ordinary 
hazard.

I would like to utilize extended coverage sprinkler heads at the lower roof on 
a spacing of 20’-0” x 20’-0”

This spacing voids the QR rating of the extended coverage sprinkler.

I thought that there was something in the code that I cannot find where it 
talks of change in roof height.

So my question is would the change in roof height serve at a draft curtain 
between the 2 systems.
