Residential Pendent Model SG-R
Glass Bulb Sprinkler
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ModelSG-RGalaxyResidentialSprinklers areperfectfor
themostarchitecturallysensitiveprojectsandarebuilttough
to last. The glass bulb element does not project beyond the
width of the sprinkler base, reducing the risk of damage dur-
ing installation and when in use. Galaxy sprinklers feature
an extremely small frame design which is both streamlined
andaestheticallypleasing. GALAXYRESIDENTIALSPRIN-
KLERS are specially designed for use in residential struc-
tures like homes, condominiums, apartments, dormatories,
hotels and other living areas. Galaxy's unique design re-
quires very low flow rates and pressures. This feature helps
reduce pipe sizes and water supply requirements,
The Galaxy Series Residential Model SG-R is designed
for use in areas with finished ceilings.
OPERATION
When the sprinkler is exposed to a fire's heat, the quick
response glass bulb in the sprinkler reaches its operating
temperature and the fluid inside expands forcing it to shat-
ter, activating the sprinkler. Upon activation of the sprinkler,
water is discharged in a predesigned spray pattern to con-
trol or extinguish the fire. The SG-R sprinkler responds to
fire much faster than standard sprinklers to help reduce fire
damage.
