All of this is from NFPA-13 but the system is per NFPA-13R, doesn't that make a difference since the goal is life safety and not protection of property?

It's not protected in either scenario.

Mark From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Harris Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2016 11:06 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> 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? Brian Harris, CET BVS Systems Inc.
