Warren Sent: Friday, March 07, 2008 6:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: 18" clearance to storage it used to be in the appendix of 13, from the 1992 Edition - A.8.6.6 The 18-in. (457-mm) dimension is not intended to limit the height of shelving on a wall or shelving against a wall in accordance with 8.6.6. Where shelving is installed on a wall and is not directly below sprinklers, the shelves, including storage thereon, can extend above the level of a plane located 18 in. (457 mm) below ceiling sprinkler deflectors. Shelving, and any storage thereon, directly below the sprinklers cannot extend above a plane located 18 in. (457 mm) below the ceiling sprinkler deflectors. But it seems to have been taken out......
