 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR SPRINKLER SYSTEM

2.1 Sprinkler Heads

Sprinkler heads shall be of quartzoid bulb type with bulb, valve assembly yoke and the
deflector. The sprinklers shall be of approved make and type.

2.2 Types

Conventional Pattern: The sprinklers shall be designed to produce a spherical type of

discharge with a portion of water being thrown upwards to the ceiling. The sprinklers shall be
suitable for erection in upright position or pendant position.

Spray Pattern: The spray type sprinkler shall produce a hemispherical discharge below the
plane of the deflector.

Ceiling (flush) Pattern: These shall be designed for use with concealed pipe work. These
shall be installed pendant with plate or base flush to the ceiling with below the ceiling.

Side Wall Sprinklers: These shall be designed for installation along with the walls of room
close to the ceiling. The discharge pattern shall be similar to one quarter of sphere with a
small proportion discharging on the wall behind the sprinklers.

2.3 Constructions

Bulb: Bulb shall be made of corrosion free material strong enough to withstand any water
pressure like to occur in the system. The bulb shall shatter when the temperature of the
surrounding air reaches a predetermined level.

Valve Assembly: Water passage of the sprinkler shall be closed by a valve assembly of
flexible construction. The valve assembly shall be held in position by the quartzoid bulb. The
assembly be stable and shall withstand pressure surges or external vibration without
displacement.

Yoke: The yoke shall be made of high quality gun metal. The arms of yoke shall be so
designed as to avoid interference with discharge of water from the deflector. The sprinkler
body shall be coated with an approved anti-corrosive treatment if the same is to used in
corrosive conditions.

Deflector: Te deflector shall be suitable for either upright or pendant erection. The deflector
shall be designed to give an even distribution of water over the area protected by each
sprinkler.

a. Colour Code

The following colour code shall be adopted for classification of sprinkler according to nominal
temperature ratings
