Kelly, In our neck of the woods we find that the majority of architects want the sprinkler heads placed in the center of 2 x 2 tiles and at a minimum, the quarter points of a 2 x 4 tile. We have worked with the specifying engineers so that they clearly call for this in their specifications. The bottom line is that; if it is not asked for BEFORE the bid it should not be expected without compensation.

Generally when we don't install them center of tile, we at least try to make them line up and keep the plate off of the grid. When possible, we try to hit center of tile with drops coming straight out of bottom.
