Upright Sprinkler
(SIN AG1124)
Sprinkler Identification Number
Product Description
The Model AG168 Automatic sprinkler utilizes the
center strut solder in compression principle of construction.
The fusible alloy is captured in the cylinder of the solder
capsule by a stainless steel ball. When the fusible alloy melts,
the ball moves into the cylinder allowing the cylinder to
separate from the center strut. When this happens, the lever is
released to spring free from the sprinkler so that all operating
parts clear the waterway allowing the deflector to distribute the
discharging water in a hemispherical pattern.
The Model AG168, 16.8 K-factor sprinklers were
tested in full scale fire tests to qualify them for the protection of
rack and high piled storage.
