Hello all, two questions:
1) Can the rules of a beam obstruction also be used for a 4 ft (1.2 m) obstruction? Or does section 8.5.5.3.1 prohibit that arrangement? 8.5.5.3.1* Sprinklers shall be installed under fixed obstructions over 4 ft (1.2 m) in width. 2) Can the rules of a beam obstruction also be used for a 30 in (750 mm) against wall obstruction? The standard says sprinklers "8.6.5.1.2*... shall be arranged to comply with one of the following arrangements" Or does an obstruction against a wall have to comply with Figure 8.6.5.1.2(b) and then has to have a sprinkler underneath?

Forgive me if I am interpreting your question incorrectly, but is this like a soffit against a wall?
