l/2 INCH ORIFICE MODEL F996 AQUARIUS HORIZONTAL SIDEWALL SPRINKLERS
The l/2 inch (15 mm) orifice Model
F996 Aquarius Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinklers (Ref. Figure A) are auto-
matic sprinklers of the fusible solder
type. They are "quick response - stan-
dard orifice sidewall sprinklers" in-
tended for use in fire sprinkler systems
designed in accordance with the stan-
dard installation rules recognized by
the applicable Listing or Approval
agency (e.g., UL Listing is based on
NFPA 13 requirements).
They are designed for installation
along a wall or side of a beam and just
beneath a smooth ceiling. Installed
with their centerline of waterway hori-
zontal, these sprinklers produce a
quarter-spherical water discharge pat-
tern that is predominately downward
and outward from the deflector; how-
ever, a portion of the spray is also
directed towards the backwall.
Horizontal sidewall sprinklers are gen-
erally used in lieu of pendent or upright
sprinklers because of building con-
struction or installation economy con-
siderations. Small and attractive, the
F996 Sprinklers are installed with ei-
ther a Push-on or Clamp-on Escutch-
eon Plate and feature a smooth, low
profile, flush-style design with an aes-
thetically pleasing appearance that
blends in with all types of surround-
ings.
The Push-on Escutcheon Plates, as
described in the Technical Data sec-
tion, are intended primarily for use with
steel pipe or copper tubing. The II4
inch (6,4 mm) adjustment provided by
the Push-on Escutcheon Plate and the
additional l/4 inch (6,4 mm) of adjust-
ment that can be obtained by use of
the Extension reduces the accuracy to
which the sprinklers must be posi-
tioned. The 3 inch (76,2 mm) outside
diameter of the Push-on Plate also
contributes to the ease of installation
by covering offset clearance holes.
The l/2 inch (15 mm) orifice, Model
F996 Aquarius Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinklers are listed by Underwriters
Laboratories Inc. and Underwriters'
Laboratories of Canada for use in Light
or Ordinary Hazard Occupancies with
a deflector to ceiling distance of 4 to 12
inches (100 to 300 mm). They are also
approved by the Loss Prevention
Council (United Kingdom) and the Sci-
entific Services Laboratory (Australia).
The listings and approval only apply to
the temperature ratings and finishes
indicated in the Technical Data sec-
tion.
The Model F996 Aquarius Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinklers are approved by
the New York City Board of Standards
and Appeals under Calendar Number
334-79-SA.
