How do you address the 12" wide space that the wall cabinet creates between
the top of the base cabinets and the bottom of the wall cabinets?  It's not
protected in either scenario.

The soffit would need to be flush with cabinet face  8.10.7.1.5.2 of NFPA 13
2010 ed in my opinion.

Subject: Obstructions Below Sidewall Sprinklers

 

Looking for some clarification on sidewall sprinklers; We have a residential
project that has a recessed sidewall head in the kitchen wall located 18"
above a kitchen cabinet, the cabinet projects out 12" from the wall. Is this
acceptable or does a soffit need to be built above the cabinet to bring the
face of the sprinkler flush with the face of the cabinet?
