3. Approved by Factory Mutual Research Corporation as Quick Response Sprinklers for use in Light Hazard Occupancies.
4. Approved by the Loss Prevention Council (United Kingdom). The LPC does not rate the thermal sensitivity of horizontal sidewall
sprinklers.
5. Approved by the Scientific Services Laboratory (Australia) as Quick Response Sprinklers.
6. Accepted by the City of New York under MEA 241-94-E as Quick Response Sprinklers.
7. UL and ULC Listings, as well as FM, SSL, and NYC Approvals, are based on a deflector-to-ceiling distance of 4 to 12 inches (100 to
300 mm), whereas LPC Approval is based on 4 to 6 inches (100 to 150 mm). The top of the Deflector Hat, to which these dimensions
apply, is 9/16 inch (14.3 mm) above the centerline of waterway (Ref, Figure A).

TECHNICAL DATA
The 5.6 K-Factor Model A/Q-71 Hori-
zontal Sidewall Sprinklers and Re-
must
be
cessed Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
are rated for use at a maximum service
pressure of 175 psi (12,1 bar). They
are to be installed in accordance with

The sprinklers are available in the tem-
perature ratings and finishes indicated
in Table A.
The nominal flow "Q" in GPM (LPM) is
determined by the following formula:
Q
=
K p
where the nominal discharge coeffi-
cient "K" equals 5.6 (80,7) and "p"
equals the residual flowing pressure in
psi (bar).
The Frame of the Model A Sprinkler
(Ref. Figure A), is a dezincification re-
sistant bronze, and the Deflector is
brass. The Button and Compression
Screw are bronze. The Gasketed
Spring Plate consists of a beryllium
nickel disc spring that is sealed on
both its inside and outside faces with
a Teflon
gasket. The quick response

Model A/Q-71 Sprinklers utilize a 3
mm diameter frangible bulb. Table A
