Product
Description
Royal Flush™
Concealed
Standard Response (GB4-EC)
Quick Response (GB4-QREC)
Extended Coverage Automatic Sprinklers
No. 3-10.6
Flush™ Adjustable Concealed
Sprinkler to seat flush with ceilings
that can fluctuate nearly 1⁄2" in height.
It’s 31⁄4" diameter cover plate presents
an unobstructed and aesthetically
pleasing appearance. The thin cover
plate projects a mere 3⁄16" below the
ceiling.
The operating mechanism consists
of a liquid-filled 3mm or 5mm fran-
gible capsule that is only 2.0 cm in
length.
Operation: The Central Royal
Flush™ Adjustable Concealed
Sprinkler absorbs heat through the
ceiling cover plate which is soldered
to the adjustable retainer ring with a
fusible alloy. At the rated tempera-
ture, the alloy fuses, resulting in the
plate dropping away from the sprin-
kler. At this point, the deflector drops
down below the ceiling surface,
bringing about the glass bulbs
exposure to the fires heat. The heat
bursts the bulb resulting in a rapid
expulsion of the sealing cap. Water
can now flow in a pattern engineered
to meet the coverage requirements.
The Central GB4-EC and GB4-QREC
Royal Flush™ Adjustable Concealed
Extended Coverage Sprinklers cover
extended coverage areas with either
Quick Response or Standard
Response sensitivity. The GB4-EC
covers up to 18' x 18' with a 5mm bulb
providing standard response
sensitivity and the GB4-QREC covers
up to 18' x 18' with quick response
sensitivity using a 3mm bulb.
These sprinklers provide an
advantage in centerline of tile projects
as they allow greater spacing than the
15'-0" standard sprinklers allow. The
GB4-EC and GB4-QREC allow a 16'-
0" and 18'-0" maximum spacing. The
16'-0" maximum is optimum for ceiling
tile in the 4'-0" direction. This allows
design flexibility and a more cost
effective installation.
By adding the option of the clean
room seal, the GB4-EC can be used
in areas where dust or air flow cannot
be allowed between the room and the
area above the ceiling. This option is
used extensively in “clean room”
applications where the integrity of the
ceiling is critical. The Clean Room
Seal is U.L. Listed for 16'x16' and
18'x18' spacings for GB4-EC as
standard response only. It is NOT
Listed for the GB4-QREC.
See the
clean room seal data sheet for details.
Inherent in the design is the capability
to compensate for ceiling heights
which vary with respect to the sprin-
kler system drops. This significant
feature allows the Central Royal

Data
The Central GB4-EC and GB4-
QREC must be installed in conform-
ance with current NFPA 13 Standards
and this data sheet. Deviations from
these requirements and standards, or
any alteration to the sprinkler assem-
bly itself will void any warranty made
by Central Sprinkler Company. In
addition, installation must also meet
local government provisions, codes
and standards, as applicable.
The system piping must be prop-
erly sized to ensure the minimum
required flow rate at the sprinkler.
Check for the proper model, style,
orifice size and temperature rating
prior to installation. Install sprinklers
after the piping is in place to avoid
mechanical damage; replace any
damaged units. Wet pipe systems
must be protected from freezing.
Upon completion of the installation,
the system must be tested per
recognized standards. In the event of
a thread leak, remove the unit, apply

Installation Sequence
Step 1. The unit must be installed in
the pendent position.
Step 2. The face of the sprinkler fitting
should be installed a nominal 2" (±1⁄4")
behind the finished ceiling line. Ad-
justments, to compensate for varia-
tions in fitting face to ceiling height,
may be made by threading the cover
plate retainer in and out of the unit’s
support cup.
Step 3. Use only a non-hardening
pipe joint compound, or Teflon* tape.
Apply only to the male threads.

tighten the unit into the fitting. The

the threaded support cup. A leak
tight joint requires a only 7 to 14 ft.
lbs. of torque. Torque levels greater
than 21 ft. lbs. may distort the orifice
seal, resulting in leakage.
Step 5. To install the ceiling cover
plate, manually thread the cover
retainer into the support cup. Con-
tinue threading until the cover
retainer’s flange rests against the
surface of the ceiling.
Caution: Special care must be
taken when installing with a CPVC
system. Sprinklers must be installed
after the manufacturer's recom-
mended setting time for the primer
and cement to ensure that neither
accumulate within the sprinkler.
Special care must be taken when
installing with a copper system.
Sprinklers must be installed only
after the inside of the sprinkler drop
and associated fittings have been
wire brushed to remove any flux.
Residual flux can cause corrosion
and in extreme cases can impair
proper sprinkler operation.
The minimum distance between sprinklers does not differ from NFPA 13. (6'-0")
Ceiling cover plates are available in a variety of metallic or painted finishes. For custom painted finishes, the customer
must furnish a quick-drying paint, preferably lacquer-based, to ensure proper color duplication. One quart of paint is
required for each 200 plates.

Sprinklers must be handled carefully.
They must not be transported or
stored where ambient temperature
may exceed 100°F/38°C. For best
results, store them in a dry, cool
location in the original shipping
package.
Do not install sprinklers that have
been dropped or visibly damaged.
Sprinklers must never be painted,
coated, plated or altered in any other
way from manufactured condition or
they may not function properly. Any
sprinklers altered in such manner
must be replaced.
The owner is responsible for the
proper operating condition of all fire
protection devices and accessories.
The NFPA standard 25 entitled,
“Inspection Testing and Maintenance
of Water-Based Fire Protection
Systems”
contains guidelines and
minimum maintenance requirements.
Furthermore, the local
Authority
Having Jurisdiction
may have addi-
tional regulations and requirements
for maintenance, testing, and inspec-
tion that must be obeyed.
It is advisable to have sprinkler
systems inspected regularly by a
qualified inspection service. Length
of time between such inspections can
vary due to accessibility, ambient
atmosphere, water supply, and site
activity.
Do not attempt to reassemble or
otherwise reuse a sprinkler that has
operated. Replace any sprinkler
exhibiting corrosion or damage;
always use new sprinklers of the
same orifice, style, and temperature
rating as replacements.
Because the discharge pattern is
critical to protection of life and
property, nothing should be hung or
Guarantee: Central Sprinkler
Company will repair and/or replace
any products found to be defective in

Ordering Information: When
placing an order, indicate the full
product name. Please specify the
quantity, model, style, orifice size,
temperature rating, sprinkler finish,
cover plate finish, and sprinkler
wrench.
For special painted cover plate
finishes, the customer must supply a
quick-drying paint, preferably in a
lacquer-base finish to insure proper
color duplication. Without such a
guide, Central Sprinkler Company
cannot be responsible for acceptable
color matching. All custom painting
of the cover plate must be completed
at the factory.

attached to the sprinkler unit that
would disrupt the pattern. Such
obstructions must be removed. In the
event that construction has altered
the original configuration, additional
sprinklers should be installed to
maintain the protection level.
Do not attempt to replace sprinklers
without first removing the fire protec-
tion system from service. Be certain
to secure permission from all authori-
ties having jurisdiction, and notify all
personnel who may be affected
during system shutdown. A fire
watch during maintenance periods is
a recommended precaution.
To remove the system from service
mode, first refer to the system
operating guide and valve instruction.
Drain water and relieve pressure in
the pipes. Remove the existing unit
and install the replacement, using
only the recommended sprinkler
wrench. Be certain to match model,
style, orifice, and temperature rating.
A fire protection system that has been
shut off after an activation should be
repaired and returned to service
immediately. Inspect the entire
system for damage and replace or
repair as necessary. Sprinklers that
did not operate but were subjected to
corrosive elements of combustion or
excessive temperatures should be
inspected, and replaced if need be.
The
Authority Having Jurisdiction
will
detail minimum replacement require-
ments and regulations.
Leak stopping products, such as
water glass, must NEVER be intro-
duced into a sprinkler system.
