The Tyco® ESFR Rapid Install Sprinkler (RIS) is an early-suppression, fast-response sprinkler that is revolutionizing fire protection for warehouses and high-piled storage. This sprinkler features a pre-installed gasket that uses proprietary Tyco® Rapid Seal technology to form a robust seal with simple tool-free hand tightening. The gasket, housed within the sprinkler, eliminates the need to apply sealant to the sprinkler threads and reduces the effort necessary to complete installation. There are two model options available that are compatible with our custom welded outlet fittings: ESFR-25 and ESFR-22.
The ESFR-25 RIS (25.2 K-factor) and ESFR-22 RIS (22.4 K-factor) are cULus Listed and FM Approved. These ESFR Rapid Install Sprinklers provide the system designer with hydraulic and sprinkler placement options not presently available to the traditional ESFR sprinklers with nominal K-factors of 14.0 and 16.8. In particular, the ESFR-25/ESFR-22 Rapid Install Sprinklers are designed to operate at substantially lower-end head pressures, as compared to ESFR sprinklers with nominal K-factors of 14.0 and 16.8. This feature offers flexibility when sizing system piping, as well as possibly reducing or eliminating the need for a system fire pump.
Tyco® ESFR Rapid Install Sprinklers are ideal for ceiling-only sprinkler protection of warehouses and storage facilities containing cartoned and unexpanded plastics, exposed and expanded plastics (in accordance with NFPA 13 and FM Global standards), and some storage arrangements of rubber tires, roll paper, flammable liquids, aerosols, and automotive components.
