For a twist: Yes, you would follow 3x rule. However, it is likely light hazard 
with ceiling fan. So, since it is non-structural, do you have to follow it? 

 

I think prudent design is to be the 3x away with QR sprinklers. However, it 
could be ignored since it is non-structural. 

 

I typically see residential or ex cov sprinklers in these situations and that 
forces you to the 4x rule. Plus the allowance for non-structural is only for 
standard spray sprinklers.

I KNOW FOR 13R YOU NEED TO BE A MINIMUM OF 3'-0" AWAY FROM THE CENTER OF A 
CEILING FAN WITH RESIDENTIAL HEADS

 

I CANNOT FIND WHERE THE SAME APPLIES FOR A 13 SYSTEM USING STANDARD Q.R. 
PENDENT OR CONCEALED HEADS.

 

CAN SOMEONE VERIFY OR EDUCATED ME ON THIS PLEASE?

 

THANKS
