Product Description
The F1FR-FS LO Flat Spray Sprinklers are designed for
installation in accordance with CEA 4001 or EN 12845
(Automatic Sprinkler Systems - Design, Installation and
Maintenance). The spray pattern created by this sprinkler makes
this an excellent choice for applications with lower clearance
above the suspended open ceilings and in racks.
The F1FR-FS LO Flat Spray Sprinkler utilizes a frangible
3.0 mm glass bulb. The glass bulb consists of an accurately
controlled amount of special fluid hermetically sealed inside
of a precisely manufactured glass capsule. This glass bulb is
specially constructed to provide fast thermal response.
At normal temperatures, the glass bulb contains the fluid in
both the liquid phase and in the vapor phase. The vapor phase
can be seen as a small bubble. As heat is applied, the liquid
expands forcing the bubble smaller and smaller as the liquid
pressure increases. Continued heating forces the liquid to push
out against the bulb, causing the glass to shatter, opening the
waterway and allowing the deflector to distribute the discharging
water.
The F1FR-FS LO Flat Spray Sprinkler temperature rating is
identified by the color of the glass bulb capsule.
