The l/2 inch (15 mm) orifice Model
F995 Aquarius Pendent Sprinklers
(Ref. Figure A) are automatic sprink-
lers of the fusible solder type. They are
"quick response - standard orifice
spray sprinklers" intended for use in
fire sprinkler systems designed in ac-
cordance with the standard installation
rules recognized by the applicable
Listing or Approval agency (e.g., UL
Listing is based on NFPA 13 require-
ments). They produce a hemispherical
water distribution pattern below the de-
flector.
Small and attractive, the F995 Sprink-
lers are installed with either a Push-on
or Clamp-on Escutcheon Plate and
feature a smooth, low profile, flush-
style design with an aesthetically
pleasing appearance that blends in
with all types of surroundings.
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 l/4
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
F995 Aquarius Pendent Sprinklers are
listed by Underwriters Laboratories
Inc. and Underwriters' Laboratories of
Canada. They are also approved by
the Loss Prevention Council (United
Kingdom) and the Scientific Services
Laboratory (Australia). The listings
and approval only apply to the temper-
ature ratings and finishes indicated in
the Technical Data section.
The Model F995 Aquarius Pendent
Sprinklers are approved by the New
York City Board of Standards and Ap-
peals under Calendar Number 334-79-
SA.
