Non-Storage / Special Protection / Storage Sprinklers
General Information
Automatic sprinkler protection is recommended for industrial and other buildings having combustible construction or combustible
occupancies.
When selecting a specific type of sprinkler, refer to the FM Global Property Loss Prevention Data Sheets to ensure that the sprinkler
selected is capable of providing adequate fire protection for the intended occupancy. Projects that are specific to FM Global insured
clients, working plans of proposed layouts, showing all details with respect to location of sprinklers and piping, description of the
occupancy and details of construction, should be sent to the local FM Global engineering office for review and acceptance before the
materials are fabricated. The plans will be accepted or changes will be recommended to assure that the work will be done according
to the best practice and to avoid the possibility of later requests for changes.
Nominal thread sizes are expressed using American National Standard Taper Pipe Threads (NPT). Sprinklers intended for sale
outside the United States shall have threads which are in compliance with other national or international standards as permitted at the
sole discretion of FM Approvals.
Unless otherwise noted, automatic sprinklers have a rated working pressure of 175 psi (12.1 bar).
Sprinkler Categories
There are three categories of FM Approved automatic sprinklers: Storage, Non-Storage and Special Protection sprinklers based on
the type of occupancy hazard they are intended to protect. Within these three categories are various different types of orientations
(such as pendent, upright, horizontal sidewall, vertical sidewall, flush, recessed, concealed, dry pendent, dry upright, etc.), thermal
response ratings (i.e. quick response or standard response), nominal temperature ratings (see table below), K-factors (see table
below) and spacings (i.e. standard or extended coverage).
The sprinkler nominal discharge coefficient (K-factor) is expressed in US customary units of gal/min/(psi)0.5 . See the table below for
nominal K-factor values of currently Approved sprinklers.

Nominal Temperature Rating of Sprinklers
A sprinkler operates automatically when the heat-actuated element is heated to, or above, its thermal rating. Selection of the proper
temperature rating for automatic sprinklers is important as it provides a factor of safety designed to prevent premature operation. See
the table below as well as the occupancy-specific FM Global data sheet to ensure the proper nominal temperature rating for the
sprinkler is chosen based on the hazard being protected as well as the expected ambient temperature conditions. Factory coated,
plated and painted sprinklers rated above 165°F (74°C) have the standard temperature color code either on the frame arms or on the
compression screws, except in the case of bulb type decorative coated sprinklers in which the bulb fluid color indicates the
temperature rating per the following table:

*The values indicated for nominal temperature ratings of sprinkler in this table are based on values indicated in FM Global data sheets
**The values indicated are based on the actual (marked or marked nominal) temperature ratings of currently Approved sprinklers
Sprinklers of "very extra high" and "ultra high" ratings are primarily used for internal protection of chambers such as ovens and dryers
having working temperatures above 300°F (149°C). When the sprinklers are normally heated to the working temperature of the oven
or dryer, under fire conditions they will operate fast enough for proper protection. However, when the sprinklers are initially at the
same temperature as a cold oven or dryer, operation may be so severely retarded that the oven or dryer is virtually without internal
sprinkler protection.

Approved sprinklers are listed in one of three ways for response ratings: fast response (FR), quick response (QR) or standard
response (SR) and are reflective of the response of the entire sprinkler to thermal exposure, not just the thermal sensing element of
the sprinkler. Note that fast response (FR) sprinklers are a subset of quick response sprinklers for listing purposes.
The thermal sensing elements of the sprinkler are identified as either Fusible or, in the case of bulb type elements, nominal bulb
diameter in millimeters (e.g., 2.5 mm, 3 mm, etc.).
Approved sprinklers are also available with factory-applied special coatings for resistance to corrosive environments; such sprinklers
are listed under the Special Protection sprinkler category. For corrosion resistance, wax is satisfactory except in extreme
atmospheres. Wax has too low a melting point for high temperate rated sprinklers, whereas a bituminous coating affords some
protection. A lead coating protects against certain mild corrosive atmospheres. Wax-over-lead provides good sprinkler protection.
Corrosion resistant sprinklers such as those manufactured from stainless steel or other corrosion resistant materials currently afford
the best available protection. See the FM Global occupancy-specific data sheet to determine when a corrosion resistant sprinkler is
needed and, if so, which type offers the best resistance for the environmental conditions.
FM Approved sprinklers are available with common decorative finishes such as factory-applied bright brass, chrome, paint, or
polyester coating. Note that these finishes are for decorative purposes only and are not FM Approved specifically for corrosive
environments.
Finishes of currently Approved Storage and Non-Storage sprinklers are included in the following table.

Only sprinklers supplied by the listed manufacturers are FM Approved. Any change in the device after it leaves the manufacturer voids
the Approval.
Note that Approved Special Protection (Corrosive Environment) sprinklers can also be installed in applications acceptable for both
Approved Non-Storage and Storage sprinklers having the same K-factor, orientation, RTI, nominal temperature rating and sprinkler
spacing.
Orientation
Adjustable dry horizontal sidewall sprinklers are dry-type sprinklers in which the sprinklers attached to the nipple extension are of the
horizontal sidewall orientation. They are intended for installation near a wall/ceiling interface and are equipped with a special deflector
which discharges most of the water in a horizontal plane so that the water is directed onto adjacent walls as well as the protected
area. These types of sprinklers are typically used to protect areas subject to freezing and are connected to water-filled sprinkler piping
located adjacent to the protected area in a location not susceptible to freezing. They are also sometimes used on dry type sprinkler
systems where the installed sprinkler must be of the sidewall orientation. The sprinklers are generally intended for locations such as
offices, hotel lobbies and dining rooms, where the installation of Non-Storage pendent or upright sprinklers with the usual ceiling
spacing and pipe location may be objectionable because of appearance. They are also installed for special circumstances where their
directional properties are desirable.
Dry Adjustable Pendent
A dry-type sprinkler consists of a sprinkler permanently attached to an extension nipple which has a closure at the inlet end to prevent
system water from entering the nipple until the sprinkler operates.
Adjustable dry pendent sprinklers are dry-type sprinklers in which the sprinkler attached to the nipple extension is of the pendent
orientation. These types of sprinklers are typically used to protect areas subject to freezing and are connected to water-filled sprinkler
piping located above the protected area in a location not susceptible to freezing. They are also sometimes used on dry type sprinkler
systems where the installed sprinkler must be of the pendent orientation.
Adjustable Recessed Pendent
Adjustable recessed pendent sprinklers consist of a pendent sprinkler installed in a decorative recessed cup which reduces the
protrusion of the sprinkler from the ceiling. They are intended for use with concealed sprinkler piping where attractive appearance
under a ceiling is desired; such occupancies may include offices, hotel lobbies, dining rooms, clubs and similar properties. FM
Approved adjustable recessed pendent sprinklers are limited to a maximum temperature rating of 225°F (107°C) and to protection of
hazard occupancies as outlined in the occupancy-specific FM Global Property Loss Prevention Data Sheet. Unless indicated
otherwise by the occupancy-specific FM Global Property Loss Prevention Data Sheet, these sprinklers are FM Approved only for use
in wet systems as well as pre-action systems that qualify as a wet system.
Concealed Pendent
Concealed pendent sprinklers incorporate a cover plate which is heat activated and can be manually removed to prevent
over-painting of the cover plate. They are intended for use with concealed sprinkler piping where attractive appearance under a

Recessed horizontal sidewall sprinklers consist of a horizontal sidewall sprinkler installed in a decorative recessed cup which reduces
the protrusion of the sprinkler from the wall. They are intended for use with concealed sprinkler piping where attractive appearance is
desired; such occupancies may include offices, hotel lobbies, dining rooms, clubs and similar properties.
Recessed Pendent
Recessed pendent sprinklers consist of a pendent sprinkler installed in a decorative recessed cup which reduces the protrusion of the
sprinkler from the ceiling. They are intended for use with concealed sprinkler piping where attractive appearance under a ceiling is
desired; such occupancies may include offices, hotel lobbies, dining rooms, clubs and similar properties. FM Approved recessed
pendent sprinklers are limited to a maximum temperature rating of 225°F (107°C) and to protection of hazard occupancies as outlined
in the occupancy-specific FM Global Property Loss Prevention Data Sheet. Unless indicated otherwise by the occupancy-specific FM
Global Property Loss Prevention Data Sheet, these sprinklers are FM Approved only for use in wet systems as well as pre-action
systems that qualify as a wet system.
Upright
Upright automatic sprinklers are sprinklers designed such that the water discharge from the sprinkler orifice is directed upward
towards the deflector which in turn redirects the water downward toward the protected area. The sprinkler is designed such that the
deflector is located above the pipe to which the sprinkler is connected.
Vertical Sidewall
Sidewall sprinklers are sprinklers that are intended for installation near a wall/ceiling interface. They are equipped with a special
deflector which discharges most of the water in a horizontal plane so that the water is directed onto adjacent walls as well as the
protected area. The sprinklers are generally intended for locations such as office, hotel lobbies, and dining rooms, where the
installation of Non-Storage pendent or upright sprinklers with the usual ceiling spacing and pipe location may be objectionable
because of appearance. They are also installed for special circumstances where their directional properties are desirable.
Vertical sidewall automatic sprinklers are sidewall-type sprinklers in which the axis of the sprinkler orifice is oriented vertically. They
are FM Approved for use in both the upright and pendent positions, except where noted otherwise.
Non-Storage Sprinklers
A Non-Storage automatic sprinkler is a sprinkler that has been categorized by FM Global as acceptable for protecting
non-storage-type occupancies and/or other occupancy hazards characterized by low to moderate heat-release rate fires as
permitted in a FM Global occupancy-specific Property Loss Prevention Data Sheet.
