Star Celeste S220 Manual

Residential
Flush Pendent Sprinklers
Celeste™ S220
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Star Celeste S220 Residential Flush Pendent Sprin-
klers are decorative fusible solder sprinklers designed for
use in residential occupancies such as homes, apart-
ments, dormitories, and hotels. When aesthetics is the
major consideration, the Celeste S220 should be your
first choice.
They are to be used in wet pipe residential sprinkler sys-
tems for one- and two-family dwellings and mobile homes
per NFPA 13D; wet pipe residential sprinkler systems for
residential occupancies up to and including four stories in
height per NFPA 13R; or, wet pipe sprinkler systems for
the residential portions of any occupancy per NFPA 13.
The Celeste S220 has a 3.9 (56.2) K-factor which pro-
vides very low design flow rates at reduced residual pres-
sures, enabling smaller pipe sizes and water supply re-
quirements.
The flush design of the Celeste S220 features a separa-
ble escutcheon providing 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) vertical ad-
justment. This adjustment reduces the accuracy to which
the fixed pipe drops to the sprinklers must be cut to help
assure a perfect fit installation.
The Celeste S220 has been designed with heat sensitiv-
ity and water distribution characteristics proven to help in
the control of residential fires to improve the chance for
occupants to escape or be evacuated. However, residen-
tial fire sprinkler systems are not a substitute for intelli-
gent fire safety awareness or fire safety construction re-
quired by building codes.
WARNINGS
The Celeste S220 Residential Flush Pendent Sprin-
klers described herein must be installed and main-
tained in compliance with this document, as well as
with the applicable standards of the National Fire Pro-
tection Association, in addition to the standards of
any other authorities having jurisdiction. Failure to
do so may impair the integrity of these devices.
Because of the above cited stipulations and the var-
ied nature of residential type architecture, there will
be some compartment designs which cannot be fully
sprinklered in accordance with the recommendations
of NFPA 13, 13D, or 13R. In the event of this condi-
tion, consult the authorities having jurisdiction for
guidance and approval.
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to
provide a copy of this document to the owner or his
representative, and in turn, it is the obligation of the
owner to provide a copy of this document to a suc-
ceeding owner.

The owner is responsible for maintaining his fire pro-
tection system and devices in proper operating condi-
tion. The installing contractor or sprinkler manufac-
turer should be contacted relative to any questions.
OPERATION
The sprinkler assembly contains a small fusible solder
element. When exposed to sufficient heat from a fire, the
solder melts and enables the internal components of the
sprinkler to fall away. At this point the sprinkler activates
with the deflector dropping into its operated position (Ref-
erence Figure 1C), permitting water to flow.
