Standard temperatue sprinkler head in exterior balcony is 3 feet directly
above the fireplace flue. NFPA 13 requires std. temp head to be minimum 18"
and int. temp head minimum 9" from hot air flues.
(1) Hot air flue and fireplace flue should be pretty much the same
heat source?
(2) Distances given in NFPA does not specify the orientation
(horizontal, vertical). I would say horizontal. But to exaggerate, if the
head is say 15 feet directly above, it shouldn't be a problem. So is it the
distance regardless of the orientation?
(3) Nothing given for high temp heads (that I know of). Is it
reasonable to keep the head 3 feet directly above the flue, but change the
head to high temp.?
The system is a dry pipe system with standard heads.
