Todd: Look at the handbook; it specifically mentions hanging from sprinklers is prohibited.

An Architect wants to support a fabric ceiling from the cup of concealed sprinklers. Section 9.1.1.7 of The Book warns against this, but their argument is that it only mentions piping and hangers and not sprinklers. They are about to take this to the local AHJ. I would think that most AHJs would send them packing, but I don't know this guy and this is for a chapel at a well-known regional Catholic university, which could have some influence. Anybody run into this before? Any ideas besides this section for my defence? Any ideas on protecting spaces with tensioned fabric ceilings? Todd G.
