Product Description
Reliable Models F1FR and F1FR Recessed Sprinklers are
quick response sprinklers which combine the durability of a " • standard sprinkler with the attractive low profile of a decorative l�ii �' "' . -f

utilize a 3.0 mm frangible glass bulb. Theses p �be er rs have
demonstrated response times in laboratory tests which are five
to ten times faster than standard response sprinklers. This
quick response enables the Model F1FR and F1FR Recessed Horizontal Deflector �� HSW 1 Deflector Recessed Pendent
sprinklers to
apply water to a fire much faster than standard
sprinklers of the same temperature rating.
