General
Description
The Series EC-5, Extended Cover-
age Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
are extended coverage, decorative
3 mm glass bulb type spray sprin-
klers designed for use in hydrauli-
cally calculated sprinkler systems in
light hazard, commercial occupancies
such as churches, restaurant seating
areas, hotels, educational facilities,
and offices. With coverage up to 16 ft
(4,9 m) wide by 24 ft (7,3 m) long and
maximum deflector to ceiling distance
of 18 in. (450 mm), they are designed
for installation along a wall or the side
of a beam and just beneath a smooth
Page 1 of 4
and level ceiling. Horizontal sidewall
sprinklers are commonly used instead
of pendent or upright sprinklers due
to aesthetics or building construction
considerations, where piping across
the ceiling is not desirable.
The fast response thermal sensitivity
rating of the 3 mm bulb type sprinklers
provides a quick response extended
coverage (QREC) rating for many of
the coverage areas detailed in Table B
and Table C.
The recessed version of the Series
EC-5 Extended Coverage Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinkler utilizes a two-piece
Style 50 Recessed Escutcheon. The
Style 50 provides up to 3/8 in. (9,5 mm)
of total adjustment from the flush side-
wall position. The adjustment provided
by the recessed escutcheon reduces
the accuracy to which the fixed pipe
lengths to the sprinklers must be cut.
NOTICE
The Series EC-5 Sprinklers described
herein must be installed and main-
tained in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion Association (NFPA), in addition to
the standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction. Failure to do so
may impair the performance of these
devices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and
devices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted with
any questions.
