General
Description
The Central Model H Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinklers are standard response -
standard coverage, fusible solder type
spray sprinklers intended for use in fire
sprinkler systems designed in accordance
with the standard installation rules
recognized by the applicable Listing or
Approval agency (e.g., UL Listing is based
on NFPA 13 requirements).
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers are
generally used in lieu of pendent & upright
sprinklers because of building construction
or installation economy considerations.
They are designed for installation along a
wall or the side of a beam and just
beneath a smooth ceiling. Installed with
their centerline of waterway parallel to the
ceiling, these sprinklers produce a quarter-
spherical water discharge pattern that is
predominately directed downward &
outward from the deflector; however, a
portion of the spray is also directed
towards the backwall.
These sprinklers are available with wax
and lead coatings that may be utilized to
extend the life of copper alloy sprinklers
beyond that which would otherwise be
obtained when exposed to corrosive
atmospheres.
Although wax and lead coated sprinklers
have passed the standard corrosion tests
of the applicable approval agencies, the
testing is not representative of all possible
corrosive atmospheres. Consequently, it is
recommended that the end user be
consulted with respect to the suitability of
these corrosion resistant coatings for any
given corrosive environment. The effects
of ambient temperature, concentration of
chemicals, and gas/chemical velocity,
should be considered, as a minimum,
along with the corrosive nature of the
chemical to which the sprinklers will be
exposed.
Operation: A fusible alloy is sealed into a
bronze actuating rod (center strut) by a

Criteria
The 2.8, 4.2, & 5.6 K-factor, Model H Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinklers (Ref. Table 1-3) are UL, ULC Listed and NYC
approved (BSA 375-75-SA) as standard response - standard
coverage, spray sprinklers. The 2.8 and 4.2 K-factor Sprinklers
are listed for use in light hazard occupancies in accordance
with current NFPA standards. The 5.6 K-Factor Sprinklers are
listed for use in light and ordinary hazard occupancies in
accordance with current NFPA standards.
The 5.6 K-factor, Model H Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers (Ref.
Table 3) are FM Approved as standard response - standard
coverage, spray sprinklers for use in light hazard occupancies
in accordance with the FM Loss Prevention Data Sheets.
The Model H Sprinklers are listed and approved for installation
4" - 6" (101,6 - 152,4 mm) below the ceiling when measuring
to the top of the sprinkler deflector.
The Model H Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers can be used with
any metalic flush or extended escutcheon, provided the
maximum sprinkler deflector to wall dimension specified in
NFPA 13 is not exceeded. These sprinklers are not listed or
approved for use in recessed applications.
NOTE
Inquiries concerning the appropriateness of wax or lead
coated sprinklers for a given corrosive environment should be
submitted to the attention of the Technical Services
Department. Wax or lead coated sprinklers are not suitable ro
use in open sprinkler applications.
The Model H Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers must be installed
in accordance with the following instructions.
NOTES
A leak tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint should be obtained
with a torque of 7 to 14 ft.lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). A maximum of
21 ft.lbs. (28,5 Nm) of torque is to be used to install 1/2 inch
NPT sprinklers. Higher levels of torque may distort the
sprinkler inlet with consequent leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
Step 1. The sprinkler must be installed only in the sidewall
position with the centerline of the sprinkler parallel to the
ceiling and perpendicular to the wall. The top of the deflector is
to be positioned toward the ceiling.
Step 2. With pipe thread sealant applied to the pipe threads,
hand tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting.
Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting using only
the Combination Wrench (Ref. Figure 3), except that an 8 or
10 inch adjustable Crescent wrench is to be used for wax
coated sprinklers. With reference to Figure 1, both the
Combination Wrench and the adjustable Crescent wrench are
to be applied to the wrench flats only.
When installing wax coated sprinklers with the adjustable
Crescent wrench, additional care needs to be exercised to
prevent damage to the wax coating on the sprinkler wrench
flats or frame arms and, consequently, exposure of bare metal
to the corrosive environment. The jaws of the wrench should
be opened sufficiently wide to pass over the wrench flats
without damaging the wax coating. Before wrench tightening
the sprinkler, the jaws of the wrench are to be adjusted to just

contact the sprinkler wrench flats. After wrench tightening the
sprinkler, loosen the wrench jaws before removing the wrench.
After installation, the sprinkler wrench flats and frame arms
must be inspected and the wax coating retouched (repaired)
whenever the coating has been damaged and bare metal is
exposed. The wax coating on the wrench flats can be
retouched by gently applying a heated 1/8 inch diameter steel
rod to the areas of wax that have been damaged, to smooth it
back over areas where bare metal is exposed.
NOTES
Only retouching of the wax coating applied to the wrench flats
and frame arms is permitted, and the retouching is to be
performed only at the time of the initial sprinkler installation.
The steel rod should be heated only to the point at which it can
begin to melt the wax, and appropriate precautions need to be
taken, when handling the heated rod, in order to prevent the
installer from being burned.
If attempts to retouch the wax coating with complete coverage
are unsuccessful, additional wax can be ordered in the form of
a wax block. Care should be exercised to assure that the
proper rated temperature wax block is ordered. Only the
correct temperature wax is to be used, and retouching of
wrench flats and frame arms is only permitted at the time of
initial sprinkler installation. With the steel rod heated as
previously described, touch the rod to the area requiring
additional wax with the rod angled downward, and then touch
a portion of the wax block to the rod approximately one-half
inch away from the area requiring retouching. The wax will
melt and run down onto the sprinkler.

The Model H Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinklers must be maintained and
serviced in accordance with the
following instructions.
NOTES
Absence of an escutcheon which is
used to cover a clearance hole, may
delay the time to operation in a fire
situation.
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system it
controls, permission to shut down the
affected fire protection systems must be
obtained from the proper authorities. All
personnel who may be affected by this
action must be notified.
Sprinklers which are found to be leaking
or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion
must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
shipped or stored where their tempera-
tures will exceed 100°F/38°C and they
must never be painted, plated, coated
or otherwise altered after leaving the
factory. Modified sprinklers must be
replaced. Sprinklers that have been
exposed to corrosive products of
combustion, but have not operated,
should be replaced if they cannot be
completely cleaned by wiping the
sprinkler with a cloth or by brushing it
with a soft bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid
damage - before, during, and after
installation. Sprinklers damaged by
dropping, striking, wrench twist/
slippage, or the like, must be replaced.
Frequent visual inspections are
recommended to be initially performed
for wax and/or lead coated sprinklers,
after the installation has been com-
pleted, to verify the integrity of the wax
and/or lead coating. Thereafter, annual
inspections per NFPA 25 should suffice;
however, instead of inspecting from the
floor level, a random sampling of close-
up visual inspections should be made,
so as to better determine the exact
sprinkler condition and the long term
integrity of the wax and/or lead coating,
as it may be affected by the corrosive
conditions present.
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and devices
