Brian,
I think all you have to do is comply with Table 8.8.5.1.2. 8.8.5.1.2 (3) gives you an option 'shall be permitted' that is less restrictive than the first table but can only be used when the soffit is 30" wide or less.

The heads are far enough away from the edge of the soffit/reveal to through under it and reach the wall no problem. But if I'm reading things right since this soffit/reveal is along a wall I have to apply either 8.8.5.1.2 (b/c) NNFPA-13 2013) which would require heads under it as well correct? Just seems like an overkill to me. Brian Harris, CET BVS Systems Inc.
