General
Description
The Central Model K11 ECLH, 11.2
K-Factor, Quick Response, Extended
Coverage Light Hazard (ECLH) Pen-
dent and Recessed Pendent Sprin-
klers are decorative glass bulb sprin-
klers designed for use in light hazard
occupancies such as churches, hos-
pitals, offices, and restaurants.
They are intended for use in automat-
ic sprinkler systems designed in ac-
cordance with standard installation
rules (e.g., NFPA 13) for the protec-
tion of light hazards up to a maxi-
mum coverage area of 400 ft
2
m ), as compared to the maximum
2
coverage area of 225 ft (20,9 m
for standard coverage sprinklers.
The recessed version of the Models
K11 ECLH Sprinklers using a two-
piece Series 4221 Recessed Es-
cutcheon provides up to 1/2 inch
(12,7 mm) of total adjustment from
the flush pendent position. The ad-
justment provided by the Recessed
Escutcheon reduces the accuracy to
which the fixed pipe drops to the
sprinklers must be cut.
Operation. The glass bulb contains
a fluid which expands when exposed
to heat. When the rated temperature
is reached, the fluid expands suffi-
ciently to shatter the glass bulb,
which then allows the sprinkler to ac-
tivate and flow water.

The Model K11 ECLH Sprinklers de-
scribed herein must be installed and
maintained in compliance with this

cable standards of the National Fire

dition. The installing contractor or
