SPRINKLER HEAD

Upright, Pendent & Recessed Pendent Sprinklers

MODEL: SD1010, SD1015, SD1030, SD1032

DESCRIPTION
The SHIELD Sprinklers, SD1010, SD1015, SD1030, SD1032
(Glass Bulb Type), Standard Ori ce, Upright, Pendent and
Recessed Pendent type, design incorporates state-of-the-art,
heat responsive, frangible glass bulb design (standard or quick
response) for prompt, precise operation.

The die cast frame is more streamlined and attractive than

traditional sand cast frames. It is cast with a hex-shaped wrench
boss to allow easy tightening from many angles, reducing assembly
effort. This sprinkler is available in various temperature ratings
and nishes to meet many design requirements. The recessed
pendent should be utilized with a recessed escutcheon which
provides up ” of adjustments. All Sprinklers are manufactured
using the time proven Belleville seal used exclusively by all major
manufactures to ensure long life and safe operation. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
