Suppressing a fire automatically, this upright fire sprinkler mounts on exposed piping to spray water up and out over the protected area the moment heat from a fire reaches its 155°F rating. A heat-sensitive element holds the sprinkler closed until a fire raises the temperature to the 155°F ordinary-temperature rating, then releases to discharge water in a controlled pattern that controls or extinguishes the fire and buys time to evacuate. Threaded 3/4" for connection to a wet or dry fire-sprinkler branch line, it is a core component of an automatic fire-sprinkler system. It is the correct-fit head for extending or repairing a code-compliant sprinkler system.
