Secondary Objective
The secondary objective is to ensure the spray pattern covers all the square footage within the property
(see extent of coverage in the DIOM).
In a kitchen, the location of the sprayheads should be selected on the wall opposite the likely fire sources:
•
All worktops (as whitegoods are often located underneath)
•
Oven / hob
•
Fridge
The risk of obstruction is lower in rooms with fixed layouts/furniture like kitchens. Typically, the only large
movable item of furniture in the kitchen is the fridge. If all worktops, the oven, and the hob are in the 45
degrees in front of the sprayhead, only obstructing the sprayhead directly will obscure the view of the main
fire risks. This configuration reduces the potential impact of placing something alongside the sprayhead.

In an open plan living room, the staircase is often an ideal location opposite the likely fire sources:
•
Wall-mounted TV
•
Sofa
•
Fireplace
