escutcheons have ½" adjustment. The SWC cover plate
is attached with 135 & 165 degree solder. In the event of
a fire the rising ambient temperature melts the solder and
the cover plate is ejected away by springs exposing the
3mm frangible glass bulb. The use of a 3mm bulb allows
quick response which enables the sprinkler to apply water
to a fire sooner than standard response sprinklers of the
same temperature rating.
