Report (41) Application Quick response sprinklers are used in fixed fire protection systems: Wet, Dry, Deluge or Preaction. Care must be exercised that the orifice size, temperature rating, deflector style and sprinkler type are in accordance with the latest published standards of the National Fire Protection Association or the approving Authority Having Jurisdiction. Quick response sprinklers are intended for installation as specified in NFPA 13. Quick response sprinklers and standard re- sponse sprinklers should not be intermixed. *Pin tle (XLH Only) Deflector 4didetill\ rtf Load Screw Washer Bulb Frame / Cup 4C01 .14 aN* 014FGO6A Model F1FR42, F1FRXLH Upright Technical data: Thread Max.
