I am an AHJ so I came across this yesterday during a final
inspection.  Last I heard (and that was a few years ago), there was not a
listed head guard for residential heads.  I am dealing with a four story
townhome in which there is a decent size, seven foot tall storage room as
well as a large recreational room.  The contractor has installed head
guards in these areas to protect the heads from damage and/ or inadvertent
activation which has happened frequently in these types of rooms in other
neighborhoods.  Contractor is unable to provide any data on the head guard
itself.  I think this is a well- intentioned installation, provided there
is listed head guard for residential heads.
