PENDENT & UPRIGHT SPRINKLERS , STD. COVERAGE
MODEL F892 DESIGNER
STANDARD RESPONSE, K=16.8 , 3/4"NPT **
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 16.8 K-Factor Model F892 De-
signer, Standard Response, Standard
Coverage, Pendent and Upright Sprin-
klers (Ref. Figure A) are automatic
sprinklers of the frangible bulb type.
They are “standard response - spray
sprinklers” which produce a hemi-
spherical water distribution pattern be-
low the deflector.
The F892 Sprinklers are intended for
use in fire sprinkler systems designed
in accordance with the standard instal-
lation rules recognized by the applica-
ble Listing or Approval agency (e.g.,
UL Listing is based on the require-
ments of the National Fire Protection
Association). Also, when acceptable
to the Authority Having Jurisdiction,
they may be used with a “Reduced
Design Area” as indicated in Table A.
The 16.8 K-Factor F892 Sprinklers
were subjected to full scale, high-piled
storage, fire tests to qualify their use in
lieu of 8.0 or 11.2 K-Factor standard
spray sprinklers for the protection of
high-piled storage.
Higher flow rates can be achieved at
much lower pressures with the 16.8
K-Factor F892 Sprinklers — making
their use highly advantageous in high
density applications, such as the pro-
tection of high-piled storage.
The 16.8 K-Factor F892 Sprinkler also
has the advantage of having a UL and
C-UL specific application listing, which
in some cases can subsequently re-
duce the design area and the overall
water demand of the sprinkler system.
Refer to Table A for details.
Applications for the 16.8 K-Factor
Model F892 Pendent and Upright
Sprinklers are expanding beyond the
current listings/approvals. For infor-
mation regarding research fire tests
which may be acceptable to an Author-
ity Having Jurisdiction, please contact
the Technical Services Department.
