I cannot find a residential sprinkler that will allow for sloped ceilings greater than an 8/12 pitch.

Our colleagues on 13R thought of this. We can never fully address ever scenario in construction and architects like to continually challenge us.

I haven't checked in a while, but the latest version (2018) of the old Viking Residential Sprinkler Guide seems t still address greater than 8:12

I recently completed a project with sloped ceilings greater than an 8/12 pitch. I talked to the AHJ and they asked that I a add an extra sprinkler to my hydraulic calculations per NFPA 13D, 2016 10.2.4.
