Product Description

Reliable Model F3QR Dry Sprinklers are quick response sprinklers 

utilizing a durable 3mm frangible glass bulb.  This quick response 
enables these sprinklers to apply water to a fire much sooner than 
standard response sprinklers of the similar temperature rating.

Model F3QR Dry Sprinklers are intended for use in dry and preac-

tion systems and in areas subjected to freezing temperatures, such 
as freezers and unheated portions inside and outside buildings.

Environments wherein dry sprinklers are employed can be cor-

rosive. For this reason, Model F3 Sprinklers have a special wax fillet 
placed in the gap between the cup that supports the bulb and the 
wrenching boss. This wax will not interfere with the operation of the 
sprinkler, and it prevents contaminents from entering the internal 
portion of the drop nipple. The wax must not be removed.

Operation

The glass bulb consists of an accurately controlled amount of 

special fluid hermetically sealed inside a precisely manufactured 
glass capsule.  This glass bulb is specially constructed to provide 
fast thermal response.  When the temperature increases sufficiently, 
due to a fire, the bulb shatters allowing operating parts to clear the 
waterway.  This enables the inlet seal to release air or water and 
subsequently, cause water flow over the deflector in a uniform 
spray pattern, controlling or extinguishing the fire.
