DESCRIPTION

The  SHIELD  Sprinkler,  SD1025,  SD1026  (Glass  Bulb  Type) 

½

”  Orifice,  Conventional  sprinkler  is  designed  for  standard  or 

recessed  installation.  The  design  incorporates  state-of-the-art, 
heat responsive, frangible glass bulb design (standard or quick 
response)  for  prompt,  precise  operation.  The  die  cast  frame  is 
more streamlined and attractive than traditional sand cast frames.

It is cast with a hex-shaped wrench boss to allow easy tightening 
from  many  angles,  reducing  assembly  effort.  This  sprinkler  is 
available  in  various  temperature  ratings    and  finishes  to  meet 
many  design  requirements.  The  recessed  pendent  should  be 
utilized  with  a  recessed  escutcheon  which  provides  up 

�”

 of 

adjustments.  All  sprinklers  are  manufactured  using  the  time 
proven Belleville seal used exclusively by all major manufactures 
to ensure long life and safe operation.

SPRINKLER OPERATION

The operating mechanism is a frangible glass bulb which contains 
a heat responsive liquid. During a fire, the ambient temperature 
rises causing the liquid in the bulb to expand.

When the ambient temperature reaches the rated temperature 
of  the  sprinkler,  the  bulb  shatters.  As  a  result,  the  waterway  is 
cleared of all sealing parts and water is discharged towards the 
deflector.  The  deflector  is  designed  to  distribute  the  water  in  a 
pattern that is most effective in controlling the fire.

MAXIMUM COVERAGE

Standard spray coverage is up to: Light Hazard = 229 
square feet(20.9 sq.m); Ordinary Hazard = 130 square 
feet(12.1 sq.m)per NFPA 13.
