Model WSG-2 Sprinkler Guard with Shield
Series ELO-231, ELO-231B, and ELO-231FRB Sprinklers
General
Description
The Model G2 Sprinkler Guard (Ref.
Figure 1) is designed for use with
Series ELO-231, ELO-231B,
ELO231FRB Sprinklers that may be
located in areas that make them sus-
ceptible to mechanical or physical
damage.
The WS-2 Shield (Ref. Figure 2) is de-
signed to shield pendent sprinklers
from water spray of higher elevation
sprinklers (e.g., rack storage sprinkler
installations). When the WS-2 Shield
is used with the Series ELO-231,
ELO231B, or ELO-231FRB Pendent
Sprinklers, the assemblies become
Pendent Intermediate Level Sprin-
klers intended for use in fire sprinkler
systems designed in accordance with
the standard installation rules recog-
nized by the applicable Listing agen-
cy (i.e., UL Listing is based on NFPA
requirements).
The Model WSG-2 Sprinkler Guard
with Shield (Ref. Figure 3), in addition
to providing protection from mechani-
cal or physical damage, shields the
upright sprinkler from water spray of
higher elevation sprinklers (e.g., rack
storage sprinkler installations). When
the WSG-2 is used with the Series
ELO-231, ELO-231B, or ELO-231FRB
Upright Sprinklers, the assemblies
become Upright Intermediate Level
Sprinklers intended for use in fire
sprinkler systems designed in accor-
dance with the standard installation
rules recognized by the applicable
Listing agency (i.e., UL Listing is based
on NFPA requirements).
The G2, WS-2, and WSG-2 are a re-
designation for the Central G2, WS-2,
and WSG-2.
