There was also an article in FPC mag. and I believe it was also in sprinkler
age on the effect of ceiling fans on water distribution.

In the same situation with a fan less than 8' from walls I was instructed
to use only one head per 2002 8.10.7.2.1.3, the four times rule I think,
since the residential sidewall could sprinkle both sides, above and below,
of the fan obstruction. So I did what I was told.

Subject: RE: 13 residential obstructions
This thread reminds me of a dilemma I tussled with last week. In regards
to
residential sidewalls, section 8.10.7.1.2 (02) says not to install
residential sidewalls within 8' of a light "or similar obstructions." It
doesn't provide any exceptions, such as the light being only 4" deep and
the
sidewall installed 6" down from the ceiling. It simply says you can't do
it.
Is a soffit along the wall opposite the sidewall considered a "similar
obstruction"? I have a project where a 24" deep soffit is installed along
1
wall of the bedroom and along 1 wall of the living area (for ductwork).
Disregarding the soffits, sidewalls would work wonderfully. If I consider
the soffit a "similar obstruction", that pretty much eliminates the use of
sidewalls. Am I missing something? Am I misinterpreting the intent of
8.10.7.1.2?
