ELO-231FRB K=161 fast response, standard coverage upright/pendent sprinkler head


Product Description

The ELO-231FRB is an oversized sprinkler head that has been field-tested by FM in the U.S. on full-scale fires in warehouses. It is used to control high risk fires in warehouse stacks. ( Detailed design information is available upon request )

Sprinkler heads require low water supply pressure requirements, giving the product the following advantages when used in new system designs or as a direct replacement for ordinary sprinkler heads in retrofitting older systems:

* Higher flow rates at lower pressures

* Higher spray intensity

* Protection of high stacks of storage

Recognized by the NFPA, the ELO-231FRB became the first oversized standard sprinkler head approved for use in NFPA 13 locations. It has a minimum working pressure of 7 psi (0.5 bar).

ACTION: The liquid in the glass bubble is subjected to thermal expansion. When the nominal operating temperature is reached, the expanding liquid bursts the glass bubble and the sprinkler head sprinkles.
