The sprinkler temperature rating is stamped on the deflector.

Based on NFPA-13. Other limits may apply, depending on fire loading, sprinkler location, and other requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Refer to specific installation standards.

Sprinklers of Ultra-High temperature rating are intended for use inside ovens, dryers, or similar enclosures with normal operating temperatures above
300 °F (149 °C). Where the ambient temperature around the Ultra-High temperature rated sprinkler is significantly reduced below 300 °F (149 °C),
response time may be severely retarded.
4
The corrosion-resistant coatings have passed the standard corrosion test required by the approving agencies indicated in the Approval Charts. These
tests cannot and do not represent all possible corrosive environments. Prior to installation, verify through the end-user that the coatings are com-
patible with or suitable for the proposed environment. For automatic sprinklers, the coatings indicated are applied to the exposed exterior surfaces
only. Note that the spring is exposed on sprinklers with Polyester and ENT coatings. For ENT coated automatic sprinklers, the waterway is coated.

Wax melting point is 170 °F (76 °C) for 286 °F (141 °C) temperature rated sprinklers.
