Todd, I think what that means is that the minimum distance from a column is never required to be more than 24 in. For example, if the column is 10" x 10", then the minimum distance is 24" instead of 3x10 = 30".

The 3x minimum dimension makes sense, but I don't quite get the "maximum clear distance required shall be 24 in". Unless there is a column protection issue, why is there a maximum that a sprinkler can be from a column? Todd G.
