Product Description
The Reliable Model DH80 Dry Extended Coverage Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinkler is a quick-response sprinkler utilizing a
sensitive 3mm glass bulb thermal element listed for use in light
hazard applications.
Dry sprinklers are intended for use on wet, dry, and preaction
systems to protect indoor and outdoor areas that are subject
to freezing. When used on wet systems, it is important that a
minimum exposed length of barrel inside the face of the wall or
insulation is provided to offset conduction of potentially freezing
temperatures from the unconditioned (sprinkler) end along the
barrel. See Figure 6 for guidelines on using dry sprinklers on wet
systems.
Environments where dry sprinklers are employed are often
corrosive. For this reason, Model DH80 dry sprinklers have a
special wax fillet placed in the gap between the cup that
supports the bulb and the wrenching boss. This wax prevents
contaminants from entering the internal portion of the drop nipple
and must not be removed.
