Tyco ESFR-1 General Description

Model ESFR-1
14.0 K-Factor Pendent Sprinkler
Early Suppression, Fast Response
General
Description
TYCO Model ESFR-1 Pendent Sprin-
klers are Early Suppression, Fast
Response (ESFR) sprinklers having
a nominal K-factor of 14.0. They are
suppression-mode sprinklers that are
especially advantageous as a means of
eliminating the use of in-rack sprinklers
when protecting high-piled storage.
Model ESFR-1 Sprinklers are primarily
designed for protection of the following
storage arrangements:
• most encapsulated or non-encap-
sulated common materials including
cartoned, unexpanded plastics
• some storage arrangements of
rubber tires, roll paper, flammable
liquids
For more specific criteria, refer to
Table A as well as the applicable design
standard.
Applications for the TYCO ESFR Sprin-
klers are expanding beyond currently
recognized installation standards. For
information on research fire tests (with
flammable liquids and aerosols, for
example) that may be acceptable to an
authority having jurisdiction, contact
the Tyco Fire Protection Products
(TFPP) Technical Services.
IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the "INSTALLER
WARNING" that provides cautions
with respect to handling and instal-
lation of sprinkler systems and com-
ponents. Improper handling and
installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its compo-
nents and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.
