Is there a ceiling or are these just attached to a duct drop?  How far down are 
they from the sprinklers?

Have you looked at Chapter 8 of NFPA 13 for the obstruction rules?  Over 48" 
isn't the only time you need to be addressing obstructions.

Subject: Round Ceiling Diffusers

Question for the group. I have a large industrial warehouse fully sprinklered. 
There are numerous round ceiling diffusers that are approximately 5 and half 
foot diameter. Does the 4 foot rule apply. Do they need sprinklers underneath. 
Thanks
