General
Description
The 160 K-factor, Series ELO-231B, Standard
Response, Standard Coverage, Upright and
Pendent Sprinklers (Ref. Figure 1) are auto-
matic sprinklers of the frangible bulb type.
They are “standard response - spray sprin-
klers” that produce a hemispherical water
distribution pattern below the deector.
The K160, ELO-231B Sprinklers were sub-
jected to full scale, high-piled storage re
tests to qualify their use in lieu of 80 or 115
K-factor standard spray sprinklers for the
protection of high-piled storage.
Higher ow rates can be achieved at much
lower pressures with the K160, ELO-231B
Sprinklers — making their use highly ad-
vantageous in high density applications,
such as the protection of high-piled stor-
age.
Wax or lead coatings can be used to extend
the life of the copper alloy components
used in Series ELO-231B sprinklers beyond
that which would otherwise be obtained
when exposed to corrosive atmospheres.
Although wax, lead, and polyester coated
sprinklers have passed the standard cor-
rosion tests of the applicable approval
agencies, the testing is not representative
of all possible corrosive atmospheres. Con-
sequently, it is recommended that the end
user be consulted with respect to the suit-
ability of these corrosion resistant coatings
for any given corrosive environment. The
eects of ambient temperature, concentra-
tionofchemicals,andgas/chemicalvelocity,
should be considered, as a minimum, along
with the corrosive nature of the chemical to
which the sprinklers will be exposed.
An upright intermediate level version of the
Series ELO-231B Sprinklers for in-rack ap-
plications can be obtained by utilizing the
Series ELO-231B Upright Sprinkler with the
WSG-2 Guard & Shield, and a pendent in-
termediate level version of the Series ELO-
231B Sprinklers can be obtained by utiliz-
ing the Series ELO-231B Pendent Sprinkler
with the WS-2 Shield. If there is a possibility
of the pendent intermediate level version
being exposed to mechanical damage, a G-
2 Guard can be added.
WARNINGS
The K160, Series ELO-231B Upright and Pen-
dent Sprinklers described herein must be in-
stalled and maintained in compliance with
this document, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protection As-
sociation, in addition to the standards of any
other authorities having jurisdiction. Failure
to do so may impair the performance of
these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintaining their
re protection system and devices in proper
operating condition. The installing contrac-
tor or manufacturer should be contacted with
any questions.
Installation of Series ELO-231B Pendent Sprin-
klers in recessed escutcheons will void all
sprinkler warranties, as well as possibly void
the sprinkler’s Approvals and/or Listings.
IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP700 for the “INSTALLER WARNING”
that provides cautions with respect to
handling and installation of sprinkler
systems and components. Improper
handling and installation can perma-
nently damage a sprinkler system or
its components and cause the sprin-
kler to fail to operate in a re situa-
tion or cause it to operate prematurely.

General
Description
The 11.2 K-factor, Series ELO-231B,
Standard Response, Standard Cover-
age, Upright and Pendent Sprinklers
(Ref. Figure 1) are automatic sprin-
klers of the frangible bulb type. They
are “standard response - spray sprin-
klers” that produce a hemispherical
water distribution pattern below the de-
flector.
The 11.2 K-factor, ELO-231B Sprin-
klers were subjected to full scale, high-
piled storage, fire tests to qualify their
use in lieu of 5.6 or 8.0 K-factor stand-
ard spray sprinklers for the protection
of high-piled storage.
Higher flow rates can be achieved at
much lower pressures with the 11.2
K-factor, ELO-231B Sprinklers —
making their use highly advantageous
in high density applications, such as
the protection of high-piled storage.
Wax or lead coatings can be used to
extend the life of the copper alloy com-
ponents used in Series ELO-231B
sprinklers beyond that which would
otherwise be obtained when exposed
to corrosive atmospheres. Although
wax, lead, and polyester coated sprin-
klers have passed the standard corro-
sion tests of the applicable approval
agencies, the testing is not repre-
sentative of all possible corrosive at-
mospheres. Consequently, it is recom-
mended that the end user be consulted
with respect to the suitability of these
corrosion resistant coatings for any
given corrosive environment. The ef-
fects of ambient temperature, concen-
tration of chemicals, and gas/chemical
velocity, should be considered, as a
minimum, along with the corrosive na-
ture of the chemical to which the sprin-
klers will be exposed.
An upright intermediate level version
of the Series ELO-231B Sprinklers for
in-rack applications can be obtained
by utilizing the Series ELO-231B Up-
right Sprinkler with the WSG-2 Guard
& Shield, and a pendent intermediate
level version of the Series ELO-231B
Sprinklers can be obtained by utiliz-
ing the Series ELO-231B Pendent
Sprinkler with the WS-2 Shield. If there
is a possibility of the pendent interme-
diate level version being exposed to
mechanical damage, a G-2 Guard can
be added.

Operation
The glass bulb contains a fluid that
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the
glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to flow.
Installation
The Series ELO-231B Sprinklers must
be installed in accordance with the fol-
lowing instructions:
NOTES
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler if
the bulb is cracked or there is a loss of
liquid from the bulb. With the sprinkler
held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 inch
(1,6 mm) for the 155°F/68°C to 3/32
inch (2,4 mm) for the 286°F/141°C
temperature ratings.
A leak tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 10
to 20 ft.lbs. (13,4 to 26,8 Nm). A maxi-
mum of 30 ft.lbs. (40,7 Nm) of torque
is to be used to install sprinklers with
3/4 NPT connections. A leak tight 1/2
inch NPT sprinkler joint should be ob-
tained 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 may be used
to install sprinklers with 1/2 NPT con-
nections. Higher levels of torque may
distort the sprinkler inlet and cause
leakage or impairment of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to make-up for insuffi-
cient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under- or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler fitting to suit.
The Series ELO-231B Upright and
Pendent Sprinklers must be installed
in accordance with the following in-
structions.
Step 1. Pendent sprinklers are to be
installed in the pendent position, and
upright sprinklers are to be installed in
the upright position.
Step 2. With pipe thread sealant ap-
plied to the pipe threads, hand tighten
the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting.
Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the

Operation
The glass bulb contains a uid that expands
when exposed to heat.When the rated tem-
perature is reached, the uid expands su-
ciently to shatter the glass bulb, activating
the sprinkler and allowing water to ow.
Installation
The Series ELO-231B Sprinklers must be
installed in accordance with the following
instructions:
NOTES
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler if the
bulb is cracked or there is a loss of liquid from
the bulb. With the sprinkler held horizontally,
a small air bubble should be present. The di-
ameter of the air bubble is approximately 1,5
mm (1/16”) for the 57°C (135°F) to 2,5 mm
(3/32”) for the 141°C (286°F) temperature rat-
ings.
A leak tight 3/4” NPT sprinkler joint should be
obtained with a torque of 13 to 27 Nm (10 to
20 ft.lbs.). A maximum of 41 Nm (30 ft.lbs.) of
torque is to be used to install sprinklers with
3/4 NPT connections. A leak tight 1/2” NPT
sprinkler joint should be obtained with a
torque of 9,5 to 19 Nm (7 to 14 ft.lbs.). A maxi-
mum of 29 Nm (21 ft. lbs.) of torque may be
used to install sprinklers with 1/2 NPT connec-
tions. Higher levels of torque may distort the
sprinkler inlet and cause leakage or impair-
ment of the sprinkler.
sprinkler, loosen the wrench jaws before
removing the wrench.
After installation, the sprinkler wrench ats
and frame arms must be inspected and the
wax coating retouched (repaired) whenev-
er the coating has been damaged and bare
metal is exposed. The wax coating on the
wrench ats can be retouched by gently
applying a heated 1/8 inch diameter (M3)
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 ats 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 tak-

or over-tightening the sprinkler. Readjust the
position of the sprinkler tting to suit.
The Series ELO-231B Upright and Pen-
dent Sprinklers must be installed in ac-
cordance with the following instructions.
Step 1. Pendent sprinklers are to be in-
stalled in the pendent position, and upright
sprinklers are to be installed in the upright
position.
Step 2. With pipe thread sealant applied to
the pipe threads, hand tighten the sprinkler
into the sprinkler tting.
Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the sprin-
kler tting using only the W-Type 3 Sprin-
kler Wrench (Ref. Figure 2), except that a
200 or 250 mm (8 or 10”) adjustable Cres-
cent wrench is to be used for wax coated
sprinklers. With reference to Figure 1, the
W-Type 3 Sprinkler Wrench or the adjust-
able Crescent wrench, as applicable is to be
applied to the wrench ats.
When installing wax coated sprinklers with
the adjustable Crescent wrench, additional
care needs to be exercised to prevent dam-
age to the wax coating on the sprinkler
wrench ats or frame arms and, conse-
quently, exposure of bare metal to the cor-
rosive environment. The jaws of the wrench
should be opened suciently wide to pass
over the wrench ats 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 ats. After wrench tightening the

prevent the installer from being burned.
If attempts to retouch the wax coating with
complete coverage are unsuccessful, addi-
tional wax can be ordered in the form of a wax
stick (the end of which is color coded). Only
the correct color coded wax is to be used, and
retouching of wrench ats and frame arms is
only permitted at the time of initial sprinkler
installation. With the steel rod heated as pre-
viously described, touch the rod to the area
requiring additional wax with the rod angled
downward, and then touch the wax stick to
the rod approximately one-half inch away
from the area requiring retouching. The wax
will melt and run down onto the sprinkler.
Care and
Maintenance
Series ELO-231B Sprinklers must be main-
tained and serviced in accordance with the
following instructions:
NOTES
Before closing a re protection system control
valve for maintenance work on the re pro-
tection system that it controls, permission to
shut down the aected re protection system
must be obtained from the proper authorities
and all personnel who may be aected by this
action must be notied.
Sprinklers that are found to be leaking or
exhibiting visible signs of corrosion must
be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be paint-
ed, plated, coated or otherwise altered af-
ter leaving the factory. Modied 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 to
the sprinklers — before, during, and after
installation. Sprinklers damaged by drop-
ping, striking, wrench twist/slippage, or
the like, must be replaced. Also, replace any
sprinkler that has a cracked bulb or that has
lost liquid from its bulb (ref. Installation Sec-
tion Note).
Frequent visual inspections are recom-
mended to be initially performed for cor-
rosion resistant sprinklers, after the installa-
tion has been completed, to verify the long
term potential integrity of the sprinkler
coatings. Thereafter, annual inspections per
NFPA 25 should suce; however, instead of
inspecting from the oor 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 corrosion resistant
coating, as it may be aected by the corro-
sive conditions present.
The owner is responsible for the inspection,
testing, and maintenance of their re pro-
tection system and devices in compliance
with this document, as well as with the
applicable standards of the National Fire
Protection Association (e.g. NFPA 25), in ad-
dition to the standards of any other author-
ities having jurisdiction. The installing con-
tractor or sprinkler manufacturer should be
contacted relative to any questions.
It is recommended that automatic sprinkler
