Sprinkler head cleareance from exterior walls

Specific Inspection Topics Exterior Inspections
#1

Anybody have any good articles on sprinkler installations.
I am trying to find distance sprinkler heads should be away from foundation. I would think water back splashing against exterior wall covering would not be good.

#2

Report as such…you can tell them a licensed lawn sprinkler contractor from Arizona told you that they should be 6 inches away…:wink:

#3

If you are in Termite/expansive soil/stucco territory, I would want sprinklers at least a foot from the home (if it was mine).

#4

No sprinklers should hit stucco at all.
