Ahhh I was waiting for that question. Because it's in the sprinkler standard, noted on the sprinkler plans by the sprinkler designer, and often the architect nor engineer know the sprinkler designer took that option, or it conflicts with the architects design.
As a result we deny such applications unless the insulation fill is also shown on the architectural plans. In New Jersey it is also an adopted regulation that any plans, shop drawings etc prepared by other than the principal designer have to be reviewed and approved by the principal designer with an accompanying letter at the time of submission to that affect. Often enough we get back from the principal designer that the method submitted by others is not approved.

If the AHJ wants to get involved then OK, but with them. If you don't put in sprinklers because insulation has been approved what business is it of the sprinkler guy?
