Immediately call the tech support line for the manufacturer of the sprinkler(s) and ask them to write a memo affirming that their sprinklers can be installed at the referenced height in accordance with listing and NFPA 13.

This is not storage- it is Atrium and similar. For discussion purposes, assume NFPA #13 (2013), please. We are thinking a sprinkler for this application is not height dependent. All construction is Non-Comb, some obstructed, some un-obstructed. I fear this might be a matter of "too generally known to be written down anywhere", but then the A.H.J. is not from this area. any sharing of thoughts or experience will be appreciated!!! thanks, Brad Casterline, NICET IV Fire Protection Division FSC, Inc.
