decorative, low profile, flush mount sprinklers. The Frame and Heat Collector of the sprinkler hide the Deflector and Gasket
assemblies. (Reference Figure 1) The Model ZN-UF is designed for use in Commercial occupancies. When aesthetics is
the major consideration, the Model ZN-UF should be your first choice.

The Model ZN-UF has a 5.6 (80.6) K-factor. The Flush design of the Model ZN-UF features a separable escutcheon
providing 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) vertical adjustment. This adjustment reduces the accuracy to which the fixed pipe drops to
the sprinklers must be cut to help assure a perfect fit installation.
The Model ZN-UF has been designed with heat sensitivity (Standard Response) and water distribution characteristics
proven to help in the control of fires to improve the chance for occupants to escape or be evacuated. However, fire
sprinkler systems are not a substitute for intelligent fire safety awareness or fire safety construction required by building
codes.
