I have a surface-mounted light fixture on the ceiling, and I have to have a sprinkler at least 12-inches away from it in order to clear it as an obstruction. The light fixture is rectangular in shape.
The question is, when doing all of the spacing and the sprinklers are not exactly next to the object, they will have an offset from one side, and another offset from the other (short) side of the light fixture. Does the sprinkler distance from the object need to be measured diagonally? Or is the measurement "aligned" with one (or all) sides of the light fixture? I may be overthinking this, and hopefully am explaining it correctly. Just because I'm 1-foot from the long side I could still be 6 or 8-inches offset from the other side of the fixture. Any help is much appreciated. Sent in anonymously for discussion. Click Title to View | Submit Your Question | Subscribe

I agree with Alex here. Its the closes measurement to the obstruction not the least axial measurement.

If you meet the spacing requirements for the obstruction based on the closest point (corner, long side, short side) and the obstruction remains the same depth across its entirety, then the location of the sprinkler is in compliance.
