Kitchen cabinets
(OP)
In a condo with kitchens that have cabinets and flush bulkheads at the top. A recessed space back to the wall, then countertop and cabinets below. Can a pendent be obstructed by that top cabinet to cover that recessed space? Here is an example of the kitchen in the picture.





RE: Kitchen cabinets
If your question is, if the sprinkler is in front of the cabinets, but is obstructed to the recessed space. I would say yes good.
RE: Kitchen cabinets
I would say see NFPA 13,(2013 is the year I have on hand) 8.6.5.1.2 and FIGURES 8.6.5.1.2(b)(c)

13R system??

RE: Kitchen cabinets
A.6.4.6.3 Where the obstruction criteria established by this standard are followed, sprinkler spray patterns will not necessarily get water to every square foot of space within a room..............It is not the intent of the committee to require sprinklers to be installed under kitchen cabinets.

But I as ahj would tell you to pull it out more, so you do get less obstruction.
Especially looks like a stove is part of that set up,
And, should not be a problem with another sprinkler near by????
I guess the furr down was not on the plans???
RE: Kitchen cabinets
I feel like depending on the cabinet heights it wouldn’t cover that regardless how far back I was if it’s 36” down total. I appreciate the feedback.
RE: Kitchen cabinets
If it were my project, I would try to get the sprinkler as far from that back wall as I can, but at the end of the day, I'm not going to feel I need to rip out drywall and make a bunch of changes to that space.
