Type:

• Upright Fire Sprinkler

Temperature Rating:

• 68°C (155°F) activation temperature
• Designed for environments where a standard response is required

K-Factor:

• K5.6: The K-factor represents the flow of water through the sprinkler. A K5.6 sprinkler delivers 5.6 gallons of water per minute per square inch of pressure at the sprinkler

Design:

• Upright Style: Mounted on the ceiling with the sprinkler facing upwards
• Sprinkler Head Finish: Typically chrome-plated or painted to match ceiling aesthetics
• Material: Corrosion-resistant materials such as brass or bronze

Activation Mechanism:

• Heat-Sensitive Element: Usually a glass bulb filled with liquid or a fusible link designed to break when the ambient temperature exceeds the rated temperature (68°C), releasing water for fire suppression

Flow Rate:

• 5.6 GPM (gallons per minute) at 1 bar (14.5 PSI) pressure

Coverage Area:

• Designed to protect an area of up to 144 square feet (based on typical NFPA guidelines)

Sprinkler Dimensions:

• Thread Size: 1/2-inch NPT (National Pipe Thread)
• Sprinkler Head Size: Approximately 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter
• Height: Typically 3 to 4 inches in height from the ceiling when installed

Activation Time:

• Generally activates within 3-5 minutes of reaching the temperature threshold, depending on environmental factors

Pressure Rating:

• Designed to operate with a standard water pressure range of 7 to 12 bar (100 to 175 PSI), delivering an optimal water flow for fire suppression

Materials:

• Body Material: Corrosion-resistant brass, bronze, or stainless steel
• Seal and Element: Glass bulb or fusible link for temperature detection
• Sprinkler Finish: Typically chrome-plated or painted for aesthetic purposes and corrosion resistance

Compliance & Certification:

• UL Listed (Underwriters Laboratories)
• Meets NFPA 13 standards for sprinkler systems
• FM Approved (Factory Mutual)
• Compliant with local fire codes and regulations

Mounting Style:

• Installed on a ceiling with the sprinkler positioned upward
• Requires a 1/2-inch threaded connection to the piping system
