Horizontal sidewall sprinklers are generally used in lieu of pendent and upright sprinklers because of building construction or installation economy considerations. They are designed for installation along a wall or the side of a beam and just beneath a smooth ceiling. Installed with their centerline of waterway horizontal, these sprinklers produce a quarter-spherical water discharge pattern that is predominately directed downward and outward from the deflector; However, a portion of the spray is also directed towards the back wall.
