Sprinkler covers five-foot aisle widths
Tyco Fire Protection Products has announced a new listing for its ESFR-25 (Early Suppression Fast Response) pendant sprinkler, which can now cover five-foot aisle widths in storage applications. This is said to be an industry first.
According to Tyco, the ESFR-25 provides unrivalled installation flexibility, as no other sprinkler provides comparable performance with the same narrow aisle width and ceiling height coverage.
With this latest enhancement, the ESFR-25 can protect spaces in both aisles and racks with ceiling-only protection, offering greater versatility and eliminating the need to use in-rack sprinklers when protecting high-piled storage.
The ESFR-25 is UL and C-UL listed for ceilings of up to 48 feet (14.6 m), storage heights of up to 43 feet (13.1 m) and a minimum aisle width of 5 feet (1.5 m) and is FM Global approved for installation, according to the FM Global Loss Prevention Data Sheets. It is suitable for protecting cardboard, expanded and unexpanded plastics and packing materials and is available with ordinary and intermediate temperature ratings of 165°F (74°C) and 212°F (100°C) respectively.
