Just got off the phone with Tyco. FYI if you can keep a 22" deflector you do not need to look at the special application stuff. So depending on stem oc dimensions you might get to 22-24" deep before you have to go with baffles.

EC heads in concrete tee construction. If you look at regular QR sprks and not EC, it does not appear that you need baffles.

Great, 1-6" down 22" max etc. But then there is a special application for concrete tee's that gives you up to 31" down if you meet all the other criteria. Think baffles 32' o.c. So the question is if I can hold the 22" and meet the normal obstruction rules can I use these under tee's like normal obstructed construction or do I still have to use the special application requirements? (Tyco is closed for the day) I think the answer is yes. I think the special application is only for an exception to the "exception" that allows 22" down compared to the normal 1-12". But I can read it either way. In this case I'd like to stick with 22" because I can with the particulars on the job. So I have a biased opinion. And I'm only bidding so not in a pinch (yet).
