I think that is from 2013 Jeff.
And Ben, here is a P.Eng and experienced designer agreeing with you, a few years ago: --------------------------------- RE: Obstructions against wall EC's Fig. 8.8.5.2.2(c) 2014-04-11 Thread Larry Keeping For the next (2016) edition I filed a Public Input asking for the 18 minimum be dropped and for the S dimension to be changed to 1/2 S. As per the First Draft Report, that was accepted, but of course it is susceptible to change during the Second round of deliberations. Larry Keeping, P.Eng RE: Obstructions against wall EC's Fig. 8.8.5.2.2(c) 2014-04-11 Thread RFletcher Glad you have submitted the comment. It will make more sense with those changes.

From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:sprinklerforum- <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]] On Behalf Of Gregory Lindholm Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2017 8:32 AM To: sprinklerforum@lists. <mailto:[email protected]> firesprinkler.org Subject: 38" wide soffit along wall I thought I knew the answer to this one, but now having second thoughts 21'-6" to roof deck, Light Hazard, 38" wide soffit along a wall @ 8'-2" above the floor. Do we need sprinklers under the soffit? 1st thought was no, because it is less than 48" wide, but then looking @ NFPA #13 - 2016, 8.6.5.1 and 8.6.5.2, it looks like we "will need" heads under the soffit. It is not like something 38" wide sitting out in the middle of a room where a pattern could develop around the obstruction from different areas. The edge of this soffit goes to the roof deck, so no pattern can develop around it. Thoughts?
