Nozzles must be installed from 0" to 6" into the protected area of the duct. When more than 1 ADP nozzle
is required (modular protection), each nozzle must be located at the center of its protected module area.
Additional nozzles are not required for changes in direction*. Duct obstructions and common ductwork
must be protected in accordance with this manual, NFPA 17A and NFPA 96.
ADP nozzle location and aim for duct protection are shown in Figure 21 and Figure 22.
*When a change in direction occurs less than 6" from the duct entrance, the nozzle must be aimed as
shown in Figure 21 and Figure 22.
