Benefits
Choosing a horizontal sidewall sprinkler provides a unique set of benefits that traditional ceiling-mounted heads cannot offer. Because these units are installed on the perimeter wall, they allow for a much cleaner ceiling appearance, which is often a mandatory requirement in luxury hotels and upscale residential units. This product helps solve the problem of limited overhead space by utilizing the walls for comprehensive fire protection coverage. Beyond aesthetics, the quick-response glass bulb ensures that the suppression system activates at the earliest signs of heat, significantly reducing potential property damage and providing critical extra time for building evacuation. The durable construction and variety of finishes mean that the sprinkler will remain functional and visually appealing for decades without showing signs of corrosion or wear.
Usage / How to Use
This sprinkler is specifically designed for use in light and ordinary hazard fire protection systems. It is most commonly found in hotel guest rooms, office buildings, residential apartments, and retail showrooms. During installation, the head is mounted horizontally into a wall-based branch line near the ceiling level. The specialized deflector plate is designed to spray water in an outward and downward pattern to cover the room area effectively. When a fire occurs, the heat causes the liquid inside the glass bulb to expand. Once the specific temperature rating is reached, the bulb shatters, releasing the internal seal and allowing pressurized water to discharge against the deflector for immediate suppression.
