NFPA 13 (2013) section 8.6.4.1.3.3 says "Under a steeply pitched surface, the distance from the peak to the deflectors shall be permitted to be increased to maintain a horizontal clearance of not less than 24" form other structural members as indicated in Figure 8.6.4.1.3.3."
So, does this mean lowering the sprinkler in order to get the 24" clearance is optional? Am I allowed to install the sprinkler very high in the peak (let's say 12" down from peak with only 8" horizontal distance from sprinkler to roof)?
