The fusible alloy is captured in the cylinder of the solder capsule by a stainless steel ball. When the fusible alloy melts, the ball moves into the cylinder allowing the cylinder to fall away from the l t sprinkler. When this happens, the lever is released to spring free from the sprinkler so that all of the operating ._. parts clear from the waterway allowing the deflector to distribute the discharging water. • - Except for the parts in the cylinder as mentioned above, the sprinkler components are made from Upright Pendent copper based alloys for maximum corrosion , protection. Lead plated, wax coated or wax over lead plated sprinklers are available for specially severe environments. Chrome plated sprinklers are available for decorative purposes. All sprinklers are individually hydrostatically tested. All sprinklers are identified as to their fusing point by , markings that appear on several of the operating parts , and by an identifying color that appears on the frame. Sprinkler Types . Ir.
