1/2 INCH ORIFICE MODEL A PENDENT, RECESSED PENDENT, AND UPRIGHT SPRINKLERS
GU4ERAL DESCRIPTION
The 1/2 inchJ15mm) orifice Universal
Model A Pen ent, Recessed Pendent,
and Upright Sprinklers (Ref. Figure A)
are automatic sprinklers of the frangi-
ble bulb type. They are "standard re-
sponse• standard orifice spray sprink-
lers" intended for use in fire sprinkler
systems designed in accordance with
the standard Installation rules recog-
nized by the applicable Listing or Ap-
proval agency (e.g., UL Listing is
based on NFPA 13 requirements). The
Pendent, Recessed Pendent, and Up-
right Sprinklers all produce a hemi-
spherical water distribution pattern
below the deflector.
The recessed versions of the Model A
Sprinkler are obtained by utilizing the
Model A Pendent Sprinkler In combi-
nation with the Model F7D0 Recessed
Escutcheon (Ref. Figures A and C).
The F700 Recessed Escutcheon pro-
vides 1/2 inch (12,7mm) of recessed
adjustment or up to 3/4 inch (19, 1 mm)
of adjustment from the flush pendent
position.
The F700 has a separable two-piece
Printed In U.S.A. 4-94
design which allows installation of the
sprinklers and pressure testing of the
fire protection system, prior to ceiling
construction and/or application of a fin-
ish coat to the ceiling. They also permit
refinishing of a ceiling surface without
having to first shut down the fire pro-
tection system and remove the sprink-
lers.
The adjustment provided by the F700
substantially reduces the accuracy to
which the length of fixed pipe drops to
the sprinklers must be cut. Also, the
Closure·lias a 1/2 inch (12,7mm) wide
flange which provides ample clear-
ance for covering the mounting hole.
APPROVALS AND STANDARDS
Laboratory listings and approvals for
the 1/2 inch (15mm) orifice Model A
Pendent, Recessed Pendent, and Up-
right Sprinklers are given in Table A.
WARNING
The 1 / 2 inch orifice Model A Pendent,
Recessed Pendent, and Upright
Sprinklers described herein must be
installed and maintained in compli.
ance with this document, as well as
applicable standards of the National
Fire Protection Association, in addi-
tion to the standards of any other au-
thorities having jurisdiction. Failure
to do so may impair the integrity of
these devices.
The owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. The installing contractor or
manufacturer should be contacted rel-
ative to any questions.
Installation of Model A Pendent
Sprinklers in recessed escutcheons
other than the F700 will void all
sprinkler warranties, as well as possi-
bly void the sprinkler's Approvals
and I or Listings.
TECHNICAL DATA
The 1/2 inch (15mm) orifice Model A
Pendent, Recessed Pendent, and Up-
right Sprinklers are rated for use at a
maximum service pressure of 175 psi
(12, 1 bar) and they are available in the

temperature Jatings and finishes .indi-
cated in Table A.
Recessed versions of the Model A
Sprinkler are obtained by utilizing the
Model A Pendent Sprinkler in combi-
nation with the Model F700 Recessed
Escutcheon. The F700 Escutcheons
are available with a chrome plated fin-
ish or a coated finish in any color.
The nominal discharge curve plotted in
Figure B represents the flow "Q" in
GPM (LPM) as determined by the fol-
lowing formula:
O=K{ii
where the nominal discharge coeffi-
cient "K" equals 5.6 (80,7); and, "p"
equals the residual flowing pressure in
psi (bar). Listing standards permit the
actual value of "K" to vary from 5.3 to
5.8 (76,4 to 83,6); however, for hydrau-
lic calculations, a K-factor of 5.6 (80,7)
is to be applied.
The Frame of the Model A Sprinkler
(Ref. Figure A), is bronze per ASTM
B176 (C87800) or, a proprietary alloy
designated as QM. The Button (bulb
retainer) is phospher bronze per
ASTM B103 (C51000 or C52100). The
Gasketed Spring Plate consists of a
Berylium Nickel (N03360) disc spring
that Is sealed on both its Inside and
outside faces with a Teflont gasket.
The Compression Screw is bronze per
ASTM B140 (C31400) and the Deflec-
tor is brass per ASTM B152 (011000).
The Model A Sprinklers utilize a 5mm
LABORATORY LISTINGS AND APPROVALS
diameter frangible bulb. Table A indi-
cates the bulb liquid color as a function
of temperature rating.
The F700 Recessed Escutcheon pro-
vided for use with the Model A Pendent
Sprinkler (Ref. Figure C) has a Closure
and Mounting Plate fabricated from
low carbon steel. The Mounting Plate
prongs, which are compressed back
into the Mounting Plate as the Closure
is pushed over it, maintain a tight fric-
tion lit between the two pieces. The
Mounting Plate and Closure can also
swivel relative to each other and com-
pensate for minor non-perpendicular-
ity between the Model A Sprinkler and
the ceiling.
INSTALLATION
NOTES
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler
if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss
of liquid from the bulb. With the
sprinkler held horizontal, a small air
bubble should be present The diame-
ter of the air bubble is approximately
1 { 16 inch (1,6mm) for the
135 'F { 57 'C to 3 { 32 inch (2,4mm) for
the 360'F/182'C rating. (At higher
ambient temperatures, the bubble
may be barely perceptable for the
lower temperature ratings.)
Installation of Model A Pendent
Sprinklers in recessed escutcheons
other than the F700 will void all
sprinkler warranties, as well as possi-

and if applicable, verily that the face
of the sprinkler fitting is within the
proper range of distance which can
be accommodated by the type of
escutcheon being used.

Sprinkler with the F700 Recessed
Escutcheon, for best overall appear-
ance, use Dimension "A" indicated
under the "Fully Recessed Dimen-
sions· heading of Figure C. Other-
wise, use Dimension "A" under the
"High Adjustment Dimensions"
heading. In either case, the remain-
ing adjustment can be used to com-
pensate for the possible manufac-
turing variations in take-out of the
fittting, as well as in the make-In of
the sprinklers (as permitted by ANSI
B1.20.1).
2. After installing the F700 Mounting
Plate (or other escutcheon, as appli-
cable) over the sprinkler threads,
apply pipe thread sealant sparingly
to the sprinkler threads only. Use of
a Teflont based pipe thread sealant
is recommended.
3. Hand tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting.
4. Refer to Figure D and select the
appropriate Sprinkler Wrench for
tightening the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting.
The FSS0 Sprinkler Wrench must be
used for lnslalling polyester coated
sprinklers, In order to pi:event dam-
age to the sprinkler finish.

ler joint s/uJuld be obtained with a
torque of7 to 14 ft.lbs. (9,5 to 19,0
Nm). A maximum of 21 ft. lbs.
(28,5 Nm) of torque is to be used to
install the sprinklers. Higher lev-
els of torque may distort the
sprinkler inlet with consequent
leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
Do not attempt to make-up for in-
sufficient adjustment in the es-
cutcheon plate by under• or over•
tightening the sprinkler. Readjust
the position of the sprinkler fitting
to suit.
5. In recessed pendent !!Jlrinkler instal-
lations, after the ceihng has been
installed or the finish coat has been
applied, slide on the F700 Closure
over the Model A Sprinkler and push
the Closure over the Mounting Plate
until its flange comes in contact with
the ceiling.
CARE ANO MAINTENANCE
Automalic sprinklers must never be
shipped or stored where their temper-
atures will exceed 1 00"F/38"C and
they must never be painted, plated,
coated or otherwise altered after leav-
ing the factory. Modified sprinklers
must be replaced. Sprinklers that have
been exposed to corrosive products of
combustion, but have not operated,
should be replaced if they cannot be
completely cleaned by wiping the
sprinkler with a cloth or by brushing it
with a soft bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid dam-
age to the sprinklers -both before
and after installation. Sprinklers dam-
aged by dropping, striking, wrench
twisVslippage, or the like, must be re-
placed. Also, replace any sprinkler that
has a cracked bulb or that has lost
liquid from its bulb (ref. Installation
Section Note).
NOTES
Absence • of an escutcheon, which is
used to cover a clearance hole, may
delay the time to sprinkler operation
in a fire situation.
Before closing a fire protection system
control valve for maintenance work on
the fire protection system which it con-
trols, permission to shut down the af-
fected fire protection system must be
obtained from the proper authorities
and all personnel who may be affected
by this action must be notified.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be Inspected quar-
terly by a qualified Inspection Service.
Seper Floe/Dyna-Flow0
High Strength Steel ripe--
The .original high-strength 1/ghtwall sprinkler pipe with hydraulics superior to Schedule-10.
Super Flo/Dyna-Flow pipe is the "cxiginaf'
high-strength lightwall sprinkler pipe.
Super Flo/Dyna-Flow has outstanding
hydraulic capabilities and is recognized
as the most popular alternative to
Schedule-IO pipe. Lightweight, easy to
cut and easy to handle for installation.
Super Flo/Dyna-Flow is a valuable
addition to any fire protection system.
; Superior Hydraulics i
•
With an inside diameter of up to 11 %
larger than Schedu!e-40 and up to 7%
larger than Schedule-JO, Super Flo/
Dyna-Flow pipe hydraulics are exceptional.
Larger LD.s enable Super Flo/Dyna-Flow,
and related components, to be down-
sized within the system, thus increasing
the potential for job cost savings. For
complete Hazen-Williams charts, refer to
"Super Flo/Dyna-Flow Hydraulic Data
Tables."
. :;-:.arings & Fabrication
, Super Flo/Dyna-Flciw products are coated
with an environmentally approved and
specially formulated modified-acrylic or
water-based coating. This durable coating
is paintable. The black coating acts as
an excellent primer and is resistant to
wealhering and U .V. degradation from
outdoor storage.
Metallurgical properties provide excellent
fabrication characteristics for end prep
•· finishes, welding and roll grooving. No
special process or equipment are needed
for fabrication and installation.
