2009 IRC Sprinkler Location Requirements

  • Even if code mandated, automatic sprinklers for one- and two-family dwellings are not required to be installed in every area of the dwelling. With some restrictions, attic spaces, crawl spaces, concealed spaces, closets, pantries, bathrooms, garages, carports, exterior porches and other unheated entry areas do not require fire sprinklers.
  • When in doubt about the required location of fire sprinklers, contact your local building official.
