No to your first question, Yes to your last. :-) Remember 8.6.4.1.2 (3) requires you within 1"-12" of the ceiling/deck when installed the way you describe. That measurement, coupled with the dimension, seems to supersede any concerns of height vs. distance for obstructions to me. R/ Matt -Or

Yes, provided you meet 8.6.5.1.2 (2). (it's my favorite obstruction rule). -Original Message- From: sprinklerforum-boun...@firesprinkler.org [mailto:sprinklerforum-boun...@firesprinkler.org] On Behalf Of Gregg Fontes Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 5:58 PM To: sprinklerforum@firesprinkl
