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.

RATINGS |
Temperature: |
Activation: 286°
F / 141° C ( blue bulb )
Tested down to -40° F by UL. Note:
the bulb does not suffer any ill effects from
cold temperatures - the glycerin inside will not allow the bulb to
freeze. 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 glycerin inside the bulb
has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than the glass bulb. Thus,
when heated, it expands faster than the glass, so the glass shatters and
the water pressure pushes the retainer out of the way. |
