The Reliable Model G Automatic Sprinkler utilizes the
center strut solder in compression principle of - ; W ; __
construction. The fusible alloy is captured in the r:
cylinder of the solder capsule by a stainless steel ball. �: "' ;:;a
When the fusible alloy melts, the ball moves into the 1>1 t,
cylinder allowing the cylinder to fall away from the ,. yj; }Y
sprinkler. When this happens, the lever is released to 1:( f

spring free from the sprinkler so that all of the operating ' ` •. fiasco

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 ` i
for decorative purposes. �.,, ��
