Where the maximum ambient ceiling temperature will be from 101 °F to 150 °F, use <br />intermediate temperature rated residential sprinklers (175 °F to 225 °F rated). <br />Residential sprinklers must be positioned a sufficient distance away from heat sources that include fireplaces, stoves, kitchen <br />ranges, wall ovens, hot water pipes, water heaters, furnaces and associated flues and ducts, and light fixtures. The following <br />minimum distances must be maintained for both ordinary and intermediate temperature rated residential sprinklers as indicated. <br />Heat Source <br />Minimum Distance from <br />Edge of Source to Ordinary <br />Temperature Rated Sprinkler <br />Minimum Distance from <br />Edge of Source to Intermediate <br />Temperature Rated Sprinkler <br />Inches <br />metric <br />Inches <br />metric <br />Side of open or recessed fireplace <br />36 <br />.91 m <br />12 <br />305 mm <br />Front of recessed fire place <br />60 <br />1.5 m <br />36 <br />.91 m <br />Coal- or wood -burning stove <br />42 <br />1.1 m <br />12 <br />305 mm <br />Kitchen range <br />18 <br />457 mm <br />9 <br />229 mm <br />Wall oven <br />18 <br />457 mm <br />9 <br />229 mm <br />Hot air flues <br />18 <br />457 mm <br />9 <br />229 mm <br />Uninsulated heat ducts <br />18 <br />457 mm <br />9 <br />229 mm <br />Uninsulated hot water pipes <br />12 <br />305 mm <br />6 <br />152 mm <br />Side of ceiling- or <br />wall -mounted hot air diffusers <br />24 <br />.61 m <br />12 <br />305 mm <br />Front of wall -mounted hot air diffusers <br />36 <br />.91 m <br />18 <br />457 mm <br />Hot water heater or furnace <br />6 <br />152 mm <br />3 <br />76 mm <br />Light fixture less than 250W <br />6 <br />152 mm <br />3 <br />76 mm <br />Light fixture 250W to 499W <br />12 <br />305 mm <br />6 <br />152 mm <br />Where residential sprinklers will be exposed to the rays of the sun passing through glass or plastic skylights, use inter- <br />mediate temperature rated sprinklers. <br />When locating residential sprinklers in an unventilated concealed compartment, under an unventilated attic or unin- <br />sulated roof, where the maximum ambient temperature does not exceed 150 °F, use intermediate temperature rated <br />sprinklers. <br />Form No. F_080190 18.10.25 Rev 16.1.P65 <br />
