Sprinklers

The GF80SC/GF80QC Standard/Quick Response Concealed Pendent Sprinklers
(Ref. Figure A) are automatic sprinklers of the frangible bulb type. They are
"standard/quick response – standard orifice spray sprinkler" intended for use in fire
sprinkler systems designed in accordance with the standard installation rules
recognized by the applicable Listing or Approval agency (e.g., UL Listing is based on
NFPA 13 requirements). The Concealed Pendent Sprinklers all produce a
hemispherical water distribution pattern below the deflector.
This model sprinkler includes a Cover Plate Assembly that conceals the sprinkler
operating components above the ceiling. The Cover Plate Assembly, which installs
onto the Sprinkler/ Mounting Cup Assembly, consists of a Cover Plate that is
soldered to an Enclosure at three equidistant locations around their peripheries. The
Ejection Spring is located between the flange of the Enclosure and the Cover Plate,
to ensure separation of the two pieces when the solder melts.
A Label located on the Cover Plate Assembly indicates the nominal temperature of
the sprinkler and the nominal diameter of the Glass Bulb.
The small Cover Plate is flat with a low profile that blends in with the ceiling for an
aesthetically pleasing appearance. Standard finishes for the Cover Plate are satin
chrome plated and painted white. Other factory applied painted finishes for the
Cover Plate is available on special order.
The separable two-piece design of the Cover Plate and Mounting Cup Assemblies
allows installation of the sprinklers and pressure testing of the fire protection system
prior to installation of a suspended ceiling or application of the finish coating to a
fixed ceiling. The separable design also permits removal of suspended ceiling
panels for access to building service equipment, without having to first shut down
the fire protection system and remove sprinklers.
Also, the separable two- piece design of the GF80SC/ GF80QC Concealed Sprinkler
provides for 1/6 inch (4.2mm) of vertical adjustment, to reduce the accuracy to which
the length of fixed pipe drops to the sprinklers must be cut.

Horizontal sidewall sprinklers are generally used in lieu of pendent and upright
sprinklers because of building construction or installation economy considerations.
They are designed for installation along a wall or the side of a beam and just
beneath a smooth ceiling. Installed with their centerline of waterway horizontal,
these sprinklers produce a quarter-spherical water discharge pattern that is
predominately directed downward and outward from the deflector; however, a
portion of the spray is also directed towards the back wall.

Sprinklers (Ref. Figure A), are automatic sprinklers of the frangible bulb type, and
standard spray, 1/2" orifice, 5 / 3 mm bulb. They are "standard / quick response -

designed in accordance with the standard installation rules recognized by the
applicable Listing or Approval agency (e.g., UL Listing is based on NFPA 13
requirements)

orifice spray sprinkler" intended for use in fire sprinkler systems designed in
accordance with the standard installation rules recognized by the applicable Listing
