How far apart should sidewall sprinkler heads be positioned in a low hazard occupancy?

In a low hazard occupancy, the spacing between sidewall sprinkler heads is crucial for ensuring adequate coverage and effective fire suppression. The correct distance for sidewall sprinkler heads in such environments is 2.25 meters. This spacing is based on standard guidelines provided by fire protection codes, which are designed to optimize the distribution of water from sprinklers to protect against potential fire hazards.

By adhering to the 2.25-meter spacing, the system is able to provide a sufficient overlapping area of coverage, which helps prevent any unprotected gaps that may compromise safety. This ensures that the entire area within the occupancy is adequately protected, as the design considers the characteristics of low hazard spaces where the fire load and potential fire risk are relatively lower than in more hazardous environments.

The other distances listed either exceed the recommended spacing or do not conform to standard practices for low hazard areas. Keeping the spacing at 2.25 meters ensures compliance with safety regulations and promotes effective fire protection measures.
