Side wall sprinkler mounting in architecture involves installing fire sprinklers on walls rather than ceilings, typically in spaces where ceiling-mounted sprinklers are impractical or aesthetically undesirable.
These sprinklers are positioned near the top of walls, close to the ceiling, and are designed to discharge water in a fan-shaped pattern to cover the intended area effectively.
Side wall sprinklers are commonly used in corridors, hotel rooms, offices, and residential buildings where obstructions, such as beams or decorative elements, might interfere with ceiling-mounted systems.
Proper mounting requires adherence to fire codes, ensuring appropriate distance from the ceiling and walls to optimize coverage and performance. Additionally, factors such as water pressure, spray direction, and room layout must be considered to enhance fire suppression efficiency.
