Sidewall Sprinklers are mounted where?

Sidewall Sprinklers are mounted where?

• A. Sprinklers mounted on walls, not ceilings.
• B. Sprinklers mounted on floors.
• C. Sprinklers hanging down from the ceiling.
• D. Sprinklers positioned upright.

Answer: (A)

Sidewall sprinklers are installed on walls. They are designed with the deflector pointed into the room so the water spray travels horizontally along the space near the ceiling. This wall mounting makes them practical in rooms where ceiling-mounted heads would be obstructed or harder to place, which is common in low-rise residential layouts. They are not mounted on floors, nor hanging from the ceiling, and the upright/ceiling-mounted orientations refer to different head types. So the correct placement is on walls.
