MODEL F692 STANDARD RESPONSE CONCEALED PENDENT SPRINKLER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 1/2 inch (15 mm) orifice Model
F692, Standard Response Designer
Concealed Pendent Sprinklers (Ref.
Figure A) are pendent automatic sprin-
klers of the frangible bulb type. They
are "standard response - standard ori-
fice spray sprinklers" intended for use
in fire sprinkler systems designed in
accordance with the standard installa-
tion rules recognized by the applicable
Listing or Approval agency (e.g. UL
Listing is based on NFPA 13 require-
ments). The F692 produces a hemi-
spherical water distribution pattern be-
low the deflector. Each unit includes a
Cover Plate Assembly which conceals
the sprinkler operating components
above the ceiling.
The small Cover Plate is flat with a low
profile which blends in with the ceiling
for an aesthetically pleasing appear-
ance. Standard finishes for the Cover
Plate are satin chrome plated and
painted white. Other factory applied

FIGURE A
painted finishes for the Cover Plate are
available on special order.
The separable two-piece design of the
Cover Plate and Mounting Cup As-
semblies allows installation of the
sprinklers and pressure testing of the
fire protection system prior to installa-
tion of a suspended ceiling or applica-
tion of the finish coating to a fixed
ceiling. The separable design also per-
mits removal of suspended ceiling
panels for access to building service
equipment, without having to first shut
down the fire protection system and
remove sprinklers.
Also, the separable two-piece design
of the the F692 Concealed Sprinkler
provides for 1/2 inch of vertical adjust-
ment, to reduce the accuracy to which
the length of fixed pipe drops to the
sprinklers must be cut.
Each sprinkler is shipped with a dam-
age resistant Protective Cap, which
can be temporarily left in place until
installation of the ceiling is complete.
