l
light hazard, extended coverage
(EC) sprinkler system applications
per NFPA or FM installation stan-
dards.
They are designed for installation
along a wall or lintel and just beneath
a smooth ceiling. Horizontal sidewall
sprinklers are generally used in lieu of
pendent or upright sprinklers because
of aesthetic, building construction, or
installation economy considerations.
The FR-1 Sprinklers have been de-
signed to operate with a particular fus-
ible element temperature rating and
heat sensitivity characteristic, as well
as to discharge water in a specific pat-
tern and quantity per square foot rela-
tionship. The combination of the per-
formance characteristics which are
associated with the FR-1 Sprinklers
have been proven to help in the control
of residential type fires and, therefore,
to improve the chance for occupants to
escape or be evacuated.
Fire sprinkler systems are not a substi-
tute for intelligent fire safety aware-
ness or construction materials and
practices required by building codes.
