Extended Coverage Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
Installations per VdS CEA 4001, Annex E, LH/OH1
General
Description
The Model EC-HS, 80 K-factor, Ex-
tended Coverage Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinklers are extended coverage,
decorative 3 mm glass bulb type spray
sprinklers. They are to be installed per
VdS CEA 4001 under smooth ceil-
ings in Light or Ordinary Hazard 1, as
well as in accordance with Annex E of
VdS CEA 4001 (e.g., commercial oc-
cupancies such as churches, restau-
rant seating areas, hotels, educational
facilities, offices, etc.). With their cov-
erage up to 21 m 2 , they are designed
for installation along a wall or the side
of a beam and just beneath a smooth
and level ceiling. Horizontal sidewall
sprinklers are commonly used instead
of pendent or upright sprinklers due
to aesthetics or building construction
considerations, where piping across
the ceiling is not desirable.
The recessed version of the Model
EC-HS Extended Coverage Horizon-
tal Sidewall Sprinkler utilizes the Style
10 Recessed Escutcheon with 13 mm
of recessed adjustment or up to 19
mm of total adjustment from the flush
sidewall position, or a two-piece Style
20 Recessed Escutcheon with 6 mm
of recessed adjustment or up to 13
mm of total adjustment from the flush
sidewall position. The adjustment pro-
vided by the Recessed Escutcheon
reduces the accuracy to which the
fixed pipe lengths to the sprinklers
must be cut.
IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the "INSTALLER
WARNING" that provides cau-
tions with respect to handling
and installation of sprinkler sys-
tems and components. Improp-
er handling and installation can
permanently damage
kler system or its components
and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.
