Some diffusers are labeled "side" discharge. They blow to the wall and bounce to make circulation. Some reviewers see this as a need for higher temp. Check with your duct contractor and AHJ to be sure.... R/ Matt

By the definition and the directions in the table it looks like you need to be at least 1'-0" from the edge of the diffuser so if you're 1'-1" you should be good to go with an Ordinary Temp. You're mighty close though. Craig L.

For the standard 2x2 diffuser in a suspended ceiling which is the correct to use. It is blowing air downward and horizontal? Can I install an ordinary temp pendant sprinkler 1'-1" away from one of these diffusers?
