Sprinklers don't spray upward. If Foam plastic insul is combustible it burns faster than the sprinklers can operate and water is not sprayed upward.

I have a company that wants to spray insulation up on the metal deck of the warehouse. The building is currently sprinklered with branch lines and uprights. I have looked at NFPA 13 2010 sections 8.5.4.1.3.1 and 8.5.4.1.3.2. How far must the deflector be from the sprayed insulation. Just for note I have researched the flame spread and smoke index of the insulation.
