It's my understanding the whole purpose of the face sprinkler is to prevent fire from jumping across the aisle. So and obstruction to that is not a good thing.

We know it has to be at least 18" from the aisle, the question that has arisen is can the face sprinkler deflector be located above the bottom of the rack beam. Does it need to spray out into the aisle or just onto the product? Can't find any guidance in NFPA #13 (2013, 2016, 2019 or 2022) unless we are missing it. Any input from minds greater than mine on a friday. Thanks James Crawford Phaser Fire Protection Ltd.
