I would say yes, because the Handbook for 2007 13 edition explains in 
commentary that obstruction includes truss webs and cords, pipe, columns and

Subject: pipes below sidewall sprinklers



Does the "three times rule" (NFPA 13 2002 section 8.7.5.2.1.3) apply 
to drain pipes mounted on the wall directly below a sidewall 
sprinkler? If not, what does?
