Bob Most cases it's only one or two lines in a small room. Usually it's just easier to run the length of the pipe till it exits room. If there is a drip then the water is displaced completely out of the area.

Military jobs like this in their specs It's usually sheet metal bent into a u shape a inch or so wider than pipe. Hung separately but touching bottom of pipe.

If it is with-in 18” below the sprinklers it is considered an obstruction, if it is just under the piping, it does not allow for the water pattern to properly form to cover the room as the sprinklers are designed.
