Specific Positioning Criteria provides guidelines for what?

• A. Guidelines for sprinkler placement per listing.
• B. Minimum lengths for dry sprinklers.
• C. Deflector positioning guidelines.
• D. Operating pressure requirements.

Answer: (A)

Specific Positioning Criteria are the placement guidelines that come with a sprinkler’s listing from the testing and certification body. They specify exactly where and how the sprinkler must be installed so its spray pattern and coverage match what was tested and approved. This includes things like mounting height, distances from walls or ceilings, and any obstructions to avoid or account for. Following these criteria ensures the sprinkler performs as intended in the system. These criteria are about placement per listing, not about how long dry sprinkler runs must be, nor about general deflector positioning outside the listing, and not about operating pressure (which is a hydraulics concern).
