 The sprinkler temperature rating is stamped on the deflector. 

2

 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.

3

 The corrosion resistant coatings have passed the standard corrosion test required by the approving agencies indicated in the Approval Chart(s). 

These tests cannot and do not represent all possible corrosive environments. Prior to installation, verify through the end-user that the coatings are 

compatible with or suitable for the proposed environment. For automatic sprinklers, the coatings indicated are applied to the exposed exterior surfac-

es only. Note that the spring is exposed on sprinklers with Polyester and ENT coatings. For ENT coated automatic sprinklers, the waterway is coated.
