For proper sprinkler installation guidelines, which standard's sections must be followed?

• A. NFPA 25 Sections
• B. NFPA 70 Sections
• C. NFPA 13R sections
• D. NFPA 101 Sections

Answer: (C)

NFPA 13R sections govern sprinkler installation in low-rise residential occupancies. This standard is specifically written to address the design and installation requirements for residential sprinkler systems, including how the system is laid out, where heads are placed, pipe sizing, and hydraulic considerations, all tailored to the scale and needs of homes. The other standards serve different purposes: NFPA 25 covers inspection, testing, and maintenance of the systems after installation; NFPA 70 is the National Electrical Code for electrical installations; NFPA 101 focuses on life-safety requirements and egress, not the detailed installation of sprinkler systems. So, for proper installation guidelines, the sections of NFPA 13R are the ones to follow.
