Does this prohibition exist for residential sidewall sprinklers? I can not seem to locate it if it does. I am reviewing a set of plans and this comment was brought up. I wanted to have a section of the standard to verify if the requirement does exist. Can anyone help with the section reference, or help confirm that it is not in the section on residential sidewall sprinklers?
