Have you checked the manufacturer’s data sheet of the specific sprinkler? 
Height limitations are often dependent upon the application. Craig Prahl |

Throwing this out there, I was asked if there is a maximum ceiling height for 
5.6K sprinkler heads, can’t find anything in the code but may have missed it.



Thank You
