Product Description

The Reliable Model JL-17 Early Suppression Fast 

Response (ESFR) Sprinkler with a nominal k-factor of 
16.8 (240 metric). This sprinkler is designed to respond 
quickly to growing fires and will deliver a heavy water 
discharge to “suppress”  rather than  “control”  fires. FM 
Global classifies the Model JL-17 as a quick-response 
sprinkler, storage and non-storage, when the sprinkler is 
used in accordance with FM Global Property Loss Pre-
vention Data Sheets.

The Model JL-17 ESFR sprinkler utilizes a levered fus-

ible alloy solder link in either a 165°F (74°C) or a 212°F 
(100°C) rating. Model JL-17 sprinklers are cULus Listed 
for compliance with UL/ULC 1767, including the high 
clearance test for rack storage. 

The Model JL-17 ESFR sprinkler was designed to be 

shorter and more compact than other ESFR sprinklers. 
The shorter sprinkler allows piping to be installed farther 
from the ceiling and obstructions. The JL-17 ESFR sprin-
kler is also less susceptible to damage due to smaller 
deflector and frame design. The lighter JL-17 ESFR 
passed rough use and abuse listing tests without plastic 
protectors.

Application and Installation

The Model JL-17 ESFR sprinkler is intended for instal-

lation in accordance with NFPA 13 and FM Loss Pre-
vention Data Sheets 2-0 and 8-9, as well as the require-
ments of any Authorities Having Jurisdiction. See Table 
1 for information on NFPA and FM Global design criteria 
for the Model JL-17 sprinkler.

Use only the Model J1 sprinkler wrench for removal 

and installation. Any other type of wrench may damage 
the sprinkler. A grooved wrench boss is provided on 
the sprinkler to limit the potential for the wrench to slip 
during installation.

Sprinklers not tightened to recommended torque may 
cause leakage or impairment of the sprinkler. Damage 
sprinklers must be replaced immediately.

When handling sprin-

klers, hold sprinklers 
only on frame arms and 
do not apply any force on 
the link assembly. Sprin-
klers should be tight-
ened between 14 - 40 ft-
lbs (19 - 54 N-m) torque.
