-----Original Message----- From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Travis Mack, SET Sent: Monday, July 06, 2015 5:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Column Protection Where does it say the sidewall is pointed up? I have only seen these installed in the horizontal position for this application. Any steel columns shall be protected by 1-hour fireproofing or a sidewall sprinkler directed to one side of the column at the top or at the 15 ft (4.6 m) level, whichever is lower. Flow from these sprinklers shall be permitted to be omitted from the sprinkler system demand for hydraulic calculations.
