In concrete tee construction placing the sprinkler def 1" below the bottom of tee is one option. When you've got clearance problems you may have to pocket the lines between the tees. Makes it more expensive but sometimes you have no other option.

We are having elevation clearance problems with our sprinkler pipe. Does anyone know of a exception to the code that allows you to be below 7'-0"? Concrete tee construction. Bottom of the tee is 7'-3 ¼". Deflector has to maintain a 1" mninimum from bottom of tee. Dry system installed. Any help would be appreciated.
