What term describes sprinklers designed specifically for residential use?

• A. Sprinklers designed for commercial use
• B. Residential Sprinklers
• C. Sprinklers designed for industrial facilities
• D. Portable sprinklers

Answer: (B)

Sprinklers designed specifically for residential use are called residential sprinklers. This labeling matches the occupancy they’re intended to protect and the design standards NFPA 13R uses for home environments. Residential sprinklers are listed and tested for homes, with characteristics suited to typical house fire scenarios and to minimize water damage while still providing effective protection. The other terms describe contexts (commercial, industrial, or portable) that aren’t the standard designation used for home fire protection in NFPA 13R.
