The Model A Pendent Sprinkler Identification Number (SIN).PS016(standard) PS018(quick) Recessed Pendent. The Model A Upright Sprinkler Identification Number (SIN) PS015(standard) PS017(quick). The design incorporates state-of-the-art, heat responsive, frangible glass bulb design (standard or quick response) for prompt, precise operation. The die cast frame is more streamlined and attractive than traditional sand cast frames. It is cast with a hex-shaped wrench boss to allow easy tightening from many angles, reducing assembly effort. This sprinkler is available in various temperature ratings (see chart on page 2) and finishes to meet many design requirements. The recessed pendent should be utilized with a Model A recessed escutcheon which provides up of adjustments. All Protector Sprinklers are manufactured using the time proven Belleville seal used exclusively by all major manufactures to ensure long life and safe operation.

Sprinkler Operation
The operating mechanism is a frangible glass bulb which contains a heat responsive liquid. During a fire, the ambient temperature rises causing the liquid in the bulb to expand. When the ambient temperature reaches the rated temperature of the sprinkler, the bulb shatters. As a result,the waterway is cleared of all sealing parts and water is discharged towards the deflector. The deflector is designed to distribute the water in a pattern that is most effective in controlling the fire.

Maximum Coverage
Standard spray coverage is up to:Light Hazard = 230 square feet(21.2 sq.m); Ordinary Hazard = 153 square feet(13.8 sq.m)per NFPA 13. see page 4 for distribution patterns.
