Stick them through the side of the duct so that the bulb is in the airstream.  

The configuration or orientation of the duct doesn't matter, you will be 
discharging into a small volume of space.  The pendant sprays forward, away 
from the body of the sprinkler into the duct.

How would you use pendent sprinklers in a vertical exhaust stack?

No sidewalls in duct.  1st they are not listed for that and it's just not 
necessary.  Depending on the duct size FlexHead has a great product for 
inserting sprinklers in ductwork.  Use standard pendant style sprinklers.

Also be sure to ask what is the normal operating temperature of the airstream 
in the duct and if there is an upset condition temperature increase variance.  
Get the right temp sprinkler.

If there is a fire in the booth you can bet on it migrating into the ductwork 
so assume it's all one flow event.

I am doing the sprinkler design for a few paint booths and with this being my 
first one I have a few questions; 1. Does the individual spray area include the 
pendent sprinklers in the ceiling of the paint booth and the sprinklers in the 
exhaust duct? Whit the requirement of extra hazard group two is there a way 
that Horizontal sidewall sprinkler can be used in exhaust stacks.
