The soffit would need to be flush with cabinet face 8.10.7.1.5.2 of NFPA 13 2010 ed in my opinion. Mark
From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Harris Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2016 11:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Obstructions Below Sidewall Sprinklers Looking for some clarification on sidewall sprinklers; We have a residential project that has a recessed sidewall head in the kitchen wall located 18" above a kitchen cabinet, the cabinet projects out 12" from the wall. Is this acceptable or does a soffit need to be built above the cabinet to bring the face of the sprinkler flush with the face of the cabinet? Brian Harris, CET BVS Systems Inc.
