Hi Rich, We deal with Anechoic Chambers as our main customers. We build a Retractable Telescoping fire sprinkler. We make them to go from 1' to 6', in 6" increments. If you have any questions, either give me a call. We have to be 6" below the tips of the absorber for anything under 2', and 12" below the tip of the absorber if it is 2' or more, according to FM Standards.

The baffles are 2 ft. deep panels hung vertically every ft. The top of the baffle is just over 18 ins. From the sprinkler heads so NFPA 13 would indicate that there is no obstruction problem because they do not exceed the 4 ft. obstruction trigger for obstruction more than 18 in. below the heads. However, the panels are every foot and it sure seems like a significant obstruction, but the installation does not violate NFPA 13 for obstructions. Has anyone ever dealt with this issue and offer any insight.
