4. INSTALLATION
Refer to appropriate NFPA Installation Standards.
5. OPERATION
During fire conditions, the heat-sensitive liquid in the glass bulb expands, causing the glass to shatter, releasing the pip cap and
sealing spring assembly. Water flowing through the sprinkler orifice strikes the sprinkler deflector, forming a uniform spray pattern
to extinguish or control the fire.
6. INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE
Refer to NFPA 25 for Inspection,Testing and Maintenance requirements.

Refer to specific installation standards.
3 The corrosion-resistant coatings have passed the standard corrosion test required by the approving agencies indicated in the Approval Charts.These
tests cannot and do not represent all possible corrosive environments. Prior to installation, verify through the end-user that the coatings are com-
patible with or suitable for the proposed environment. For automatic sprinklers, the coatings indicated are applied to the exposed exterior surfaces
only.Note that the spring is exposed on sprinklers with Polyester and ENT coatings. For ENT coated automatic sprinklers,the waterway is coated.
