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.
