• light hazard, quick response — ex-
tended coverage (QR-EC) sprinkler
system applications per NFPA 13,
and
• light hazard, extended coverage
(EC) sprinkler system applications
per NFPA 13.
Small and attractive, the F993 Sprin-
klers are installed with a Push-on Es-
cutcheon Plate and feature a smooth,
low profile, flush-style design with an
aesthetically pleasing appearance that
blends in with all types of surround-
ings. They are designed for installation
along a wall or lintel and just beneath
a smooth and level ceiling. Horizontal
sidewall sprinklers are generally used
in lieu of pendent or upright sprinklers
because of aesthetic, building con-
struction, or installation economy con-
siderations.
The 1/4 inch adjustment provided by
the Push-on Escutcheon Plate and the
additional 1/4 inch of adjustment that
can be obtained by use of the Exten-
sion reduces the accuracy to which the
sprinklers must be positioned. The 3
inch outside diameter of the Push-on
Plate also contributes to the ease of
installation by covering offset clear-
ance holes.
The F993 Sprinklers have been de-
signed to operate with a particular fus-
ible element temperature rating and
heat sensitivity characteristic, as well
as to discharge water in a specific pat-
tern and quantity per square foot rela-
tionship. The combination of the per-
formance characteristics which are
associated with the F993 Sprinklers
have been proven to help in the control
of residential type fires and, therefore,
to improve the chance for occupants to
escape or be evacuated.
