NO you aren't missing anything--you are correct all the way. I was looking at the wrong chart. When you replied last - I double checked where I was looking (at the correct chart for the incorrect sprinkler).

If the soffit is 10" down, assuming the deflector is 1/2" below the ceiling, and using SSPs, then you need to be 3' from the edge of the soffit. As long as the soffit is not more than 4'6" off the wall, then you could make it at 7'-6" from the wall. Unless I am missing something!

Travis, I agree, if your soffit is 4" down you can use table 8.6.5.1.2 and fig. 8.6.5.1.2 (a) and space off the wall correctly. The original scenario is 10" down from the ceiling. It would be hard to keep the spacing off of the wall without lowering the deflector greatly and/or trying to use 9'-0 off of one wall.

No..I am saying that if you have a "soffit" that is 4" down from the ceiling, but is 36" off the wall, does that mean you are going to put a sprinkler in it? You need to comply with the beam rule, unless you have a soffit that meets the more lenient criteria of the "soffit rule." Assuming that you are 1/2" below the ceiling with the deflector, you could in theory have a soffit that is 4" below the ceiling and 5' off the wall and still not need a head in it. At least that is how I see it.
