Product Description
The Reliable Model G Automatic Sprinkler utilizes the
center strut solder in compression principle of construc-
tion. 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 sprinkler.When this happens,
the lever is released to spring free from the sprinkler so s�
that all of the operating parts clear from the waterway al-
lowing the deflector to distribute the discharging water.
Except for the parts in the cylinder as mentioned above,
the sprinkler components are made from copper based Upright Pendent
alloys for maximum corrosion protection. Lead plated,wa
coated or wax over lead plated sprinklers are available or
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 mark-
ings that appear on several of the operating parts and by
an identifying color that appears on the frame.

a portion of its water discharge upward against the ceil-

either the upright or the pendent position. Sprinklers with
conventional deflectors are available with orifice sizes
corresponding to light, ordinary and extra-high hazard
installations.
