Has the AHJ come back and told you to look it up yourself because you are the sprinkler expert? Seen that before.
Put about 3 hours in this morning driving to a jobsite to inspect the installation of 6 heads below a new ceiling. Now I have to write an affidavit to say it was done correctly, which gets stamped and sent to the local FM before he will issue the CO. He has already inspected and approved it. Gotta love MA. Yes, this is another one of those days.
