GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Star Luminous S170, 5.6 K-Factor, Quick Response,
Standard Coverage, Dry Pendent Sprinklers are decora-
tive glass bulb automatic sprinklers designed for use
• where pendent sprinklers are required on dry pipe sys-
tems that are exposed to freezing temperatures (e.g.
sprinkler drops from unheated portions of buildings), or
• where sprinklers and/or a portion of the connecting piping
may be exposed to freezing temperatures (e.g. sprinkler
drops from wet systems into freezers), or
• where pendent sprinklers are used on systems that are
seasonably drained to avoid freezing (e.g. vacation resort
areas).
The Luminous S170, 3 mm Bulb, Dry Pendent Sprinklers
are "quick response - standard orifice spray sprinklers"
and are available in a wide range of operating tempera-
tures and order lengths. The Luminous S170 Sprinklers
are intended for use in fire sprinkler systems designed in
accordance with the standard installation rules recog-
nized by the applicable Listing or Approval agency (e.g.,
UL Listing is based on NFPA 13 requirements). They pro-
duce a hemispherical water discharge pattern below the
deflector.
The Recessed, Standard, and Deep Ceiling Escutcheons
for the Luminous S170 are separable two-piece designs
which allow installation of the sprinklers and pressure
testing of the fire protection system prior to installation of
a suspended ceiling. They also permit removal of sus-
pended ceiling panels without having to first shut down
the fire protection system and remove the sprinklers.

klers described herein must be installed and maintained

OPERATION
When the Luminous S170 is in service, water is pre-
vented from entering the assembly by the Plug & O-ring
(Ref. Figure 2) in the Inlet of the Sprinkler. 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, and the Bulb Seat is
released. The compressed Spring is then able to expand
and push the Water Tube as well as the Guide Tube out-
ward. This action simultaneously pulls inward on the
Yoke, withdrawing the Plug & O-ring from the Inlet, which
then allows the sprinkler to activate and flow water.
