Residential Sprinkler head location question

[marcm]

Is there a minimum distance that code requires sprinklers have to be from interior walls?

 

[mark handler]

WARNING:In CA Fire suppression systems, including sprinklers, MUST be designed by a Professional Engineer or a licensend sprinkler contractor.

Maximum Distance from Wall: half (1/2) of the maximum distance between sprinkler heads.

Minimum of 4 inches from wall

Minimum Distance Between Sprinklers: typically 6'-0".

Distance from Ceiling: minimum 1", maximum 12" for unobstructed construction. The minimum 1" is typical; however, concealed, recessed, and flush sprinklers may be mounted less than 1" from the ceiling and shall be installed based on their listing..
