Item 2 allows 22" when the obstruction clearances of 10.2.7.2 can be satisfied 
which should be easy enough at a 2" difference in elevation.

Subject: [Sprinklerforum] Re: Concrete Beams -- NFPA 13, 2016

Jackie, I echo the thoughts of Anthony, Matt, and my good friend Cliff. All the 
sections I note are from the '16 edition of NFPA 13 Obstructed construction per 
§3. 7. 1, §A. 3. 7. 1(1), as you have concrete beams, spaced between 3' and 7½" 
apart.

Jackie,

I echo the thoughts of Anthony, Matt, and my good friend Cliff.

All the sections I note are from the '16 edition of NFPA 13

  *   Obstructed construction per §3.7.1, §A.3.7.1(1), as you have concrete 
beams, spaced between 3' and 7½" apart.

  *   Sprinklers required in each bay, per §8.6.4.1.2(3), as it's not possible 
to reach the 22" maximum in (1) or (2) as the beam depth is 24"

Hope that lines up with what others have to say.  And, except for the section 
numbers this is fairly unchanged in the '22 edition.

sincerely,
