Why wouldn't these be treated like ceiling clouds with heads above and below? It's open on both sides of the panel (parallel to the joist) to deck, how can I get away without protecting the deck? I like your idea way better than mine but I'm not sure it will fly.

"Unobstructed construction? Heads 12" down maybe?" That was my thought. No above and below. You'll have to see if you can hide the pipe above, if not exposed. Arch. will have work with you if he/she/it wants the pipe covered and you can't fit it above for whatever reason. Chris Cahill, P.E.

Regards, Brian Harris FDFP INC. _____ From: Brian Harris [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 3:29 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: Armstrong Optima Capz Panels Has anyone ever come across these Armstrong Optima Capz Panels? For product information you can Google "optima capz". Basically they are an acoustical panel that are mounted within 6" of the roof deck in an "open" type ceiling installation. My question is since it is open to deck all around these panels wouldn't you need heads both above and below the panels? With there only being 6" max space above these panels and taking into account the top chord of the joist it only leaves you with 3" or so to run the pipe, add upright heads, and arm-over's to catch the pendants....... Is there some code section that addresses situations like this?
