You have a good memory Roland. I submitted Public Input 289 for the "S" dimension off the wall to be corrected to be "½S" and for the "18 in. minimum (No Maximum)" to be revised to "No Maximum" and that was accepted by the Committee and published in the 1st Draft Report.
Somehow though, when the 2nd Draft Report came out, those changes were lost and the original unrevised illustrations were back in there. I notified Matt at NFPA about this, but he wasn't able to get it fixed - procedural limitations I guess. I believe that in NFPA 13-2016 Figures 8.6.5.1.2(c) and 8.8.5.1.2(c) and 8.10.6.1.2(c) were meant to be similar to the new Figures 8.9.5.1.4(c) and 8.10.7.1.4(c). Maybe we can get it fixed during the next cycle. There should probably be a new figure for Section 8.7 as well.

This is a goofy item that defies logic. There was something in the FR and/or SR reports on this where I thought the 18 inch minimum went away (which then is logical).
