I’m having a hard time believing this is the first time I’ve heard of this in 
the last 15 years. I see hundreds of shop drawings that have pendent heads 
located in the 2x2 ceiling tile next to a diffuser.

Right below that it states you don’t worry if heat does not exceed 105F. Can 
you confirm that?

This is one reason we have moved to all Intermediate throughout.

Subject: Heads Near Diffusers

Can someone clarify the verbiage of 8.3.2.5(2) (NFPA13 2013) in the 
Ordinary-Temp column for heads next to a diffuser ( c)? It says “Any distance 
except as shown under Intermediate-Temperature Rating Column”. I have an AHJ 
saying that any head within 30” of a diffuser must be an 
Intermediate-Temperature head.
