General
Description
The TYCO Model ESFR-14, K-factor
Pendent Sprinklers are Early Suppres-
sion, Fast Response (ESFR) sprin-
klers with a nominal K-factor of 14.0.
They are suppression-mode sprinklers
that are especially advantageous as a
means of eliminating the use of in-rack
sprinklers when protecting high-piled
storage.
Model ESFR-14 Sprinklers are primarily
designed for protection of the following
storage arrangements:
• Most encapsulated or non-encap-
sulated common materials including
cartoned, unexpanded plastics
• Some storage arrangements of rub-
ber tires, roll paper, flammable liquids
For more specific criteria, see Table B
and the applicable design standard.
