General
Description
The Central Model LD, 11.2 K-factor,
Standard Response, Upright Large
Drop Storage Sprinklers are glass
bulb type automatic sprinklers. They
are intended for use with National Fire
Protection Association and Factory
Mutual Research Corporation "large
drop sprinkler" installation criteria for
the protection of high piled storage.
The Model LD Sprinklers can provide
a higher level of protection than
standard spray sprinklers and, in
some cases, they can provide an
economic advantage by eliminating in-
rack sprinklers.
Applications for the Model LD Sprin-
klers are expanding beyond the
current recognized installation
standards. For information regarding
research fire tests which may be
acceptable to an Authority Having
Jurisdiction (e.g., the protection of
class II commodity in a 40 foot freezer
using a double interlock preaction
system), please contact the Technical
Services Department.
Operation: The glass bulb contains a
fluid which expands when exposed to
heat. When the rated temperature is
reached, the fluid expands sufficiently
to shatter the glass bulb, which then
allows the sprinkler to activate and
flow water.
WARNING

Sprinklers described herein must be
