FEATURES
UL listed and FM approved.
Rugged frame, expanded wrench area.
Tapered orifice prevents turbulence, provides unifrom
distribution throughout all pressures.
Unique deflector accounts for high degree of water atomization
associated with Firematic sprinklers.
Operates at full volume approximately one-tenth of a second after
pressure is released.
Center link is short and rugged, reducing risk of mechanical
damage.

RATINGS |
Temperature: |
Activation:
160°
F/71° C
Tested down to -40° F by UL. Note:
the center link does not suffer any ill
effects from cold temperatures. If one activates in cold weather, it's
most likely due to the high pressures that result from water freezing in
a fixed volume (e.g., the pipe).

PRINCIPLES
OF OPERATION |
Background: |
The center link is held together by solder.
This solder is what is known as a 'binary eutectic alloy'. Binary means
there are two metals present in the alloy. Eutectic means 'easily
melted'. What makes such an alloy perfect for use in sprinklers is that
the melting temperature can be controlled simply by altering the amount
of one metal present in the alloy with regard to the other. |
