I have a couple of questions regarding NFPA 13 section 14.4.4.4.3 re calcing sprinklers below obstructions, specifically referring to the following phrase: "the water supply for one of the levels of sprinklers shall be permitted to be omitted.....".

1. If you have more than one level of sprinklers below obstructions (I have 2 on a project I am working on), does this mean you can only eliminate one of the levels?

2. What constitutes a level? If you have ductwork at different elevations, does that constitute one level?
