Description
The Reliable Model MBEC-14 is an extended coverage horizontal sidewall sprinkler utilizing a sensitive solder link thermal element. The MBEC-14 provides a greater coverage area and lower discharge pressure than smaller orifice standard coverage horizontal sidewall sprinklers.
The Model MBEC-14 is cULus listed as a standard-response sprinkler for storage protection (control mode specific application) in accordance with NFPA13, and is FM Approved as a quick response sprinkler for protection of HC-1 and HC-2 non-storage areas in accordance with Property Loss Prevention Data Sheet 3-26.
Hydraulic calculations are based upon the density/area method in accordance with NFPA 13 or FM Global Data Sheets.
The Model MBEC-14 is primarily intended for the protection of pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB) having a roof slope of 2 inches rise over 12 inches run (9.5°) or less with maximum 25 ft (7.6m) wide bays. The unique design of the sprinkler allows the branch lines to be supported on each side of the main steel girders rather than from the lightweight steel purlins and direct spray toward the middle of the bay.
