Product Description
Models F1-300 EC Pendent and F1-300 EC Recessed
Pendent Sprinklers are high pressure rated automatic sprin-
klers which can handle a maximum service pressure of 300
psi (20,7 bar).
The Model F1 Recessed Escutcheon provides convenient
adjustment for Model F1-300 EC Sprinklers. The two-piece
construction makes field installation an easy and rapid task.
This also allows ceiling panels to later be removed without
shutting down the fire protection system, thus facilitating
maintenance of above ceiling services.
The Models F1-300 EC Pendent and Recessed Pendent
automatic sprinklers are standard response sprinklers which
utilize a 5.0mm frangible glass bulb. The glass bulb contains
an accurately controlled amount of special fluid hermetically
sealed inside. The other sprinkler parts are made of brass,
copper and beryllium nickel.
At normal temperatures, the glass bulb contains fluid in
both the liquid and vapor phases. The vapor phase can
be seen as a small bubble. As heat is applied, the liquid
expands, forcing the bubble smaller and smaller as the liq-
uid pressure increases. Continued heating forces the liquid
to push out against the bulb, causing the glass to shatter,
opening the waterway and allowing the deflector to distrib-
ute the discharging water.
The temperature rating of the sprinkler is identified by the
color of the glass bulb capsule as well as frame color where
applicable.
