Product Description

The F1FR-FS56 and F1FR-FS42 Flat Spray Sprinklers are

designed for installation in accordance with CEA 4001 or EN

12845 (Automatic Sprinkler Systems - Design, Installation

and Maintenance). The spray pattern created by this sprinkler

makes this an excellent choice for applications with lower

clearance above the suspended open ceilings and in racks.

The F1FR-FS56 and F1FR-FS42 Flat Spray Sprinklers

with shield are used in applications where there are high and

lower level sprinklers. The shield is to help prevent the lower

level sprinklers from getting wet by the higher level sprinklers.

The F1FR-FS56 and F1FR-FS42 Flat Spray Sprinklers

utilize a frangible 3.0 mm glass bulb. The glass bulb

consists of an accurately controlled amount of special ﬂuid

hermetically sealed inside of a precisely manufactured glass

capsule. This glass bulb is specially constructed to provide

fast thermal response.

At normal temperatures, the glass bulb contains the ﬂuid

in both the liquid phase and in the vapor phase. The vapor

phase can be seen as a small bubble. As heat is applied, the

liquid expands forcing the bubble smaller and smaller as the

liquid pressure increases. Continued heating forces the liquid

to push out against the bulb, causing the glass to shatter,

opening the waterway and allowing the deﬂector to distribute

the discharging water.

The F1FR-FS56 and F1FR-FS42 Flat Spray Sprinklers

temperature rating are identiﬁed by the color of the glass

bulb capsule.
