Description
The Reliable Model G4 Concealer™ standard response uses the proven Model G fusible element in a standard style sprinkler frame with a drop-down deflector. This assembly is recessed into the ceiling and concealed by a flat cover plate.
This threaded engagement provides ½” (13mm) of cover adjustment. The flat cover plate is attached to the skirt using an ordinary temperature classification solder. This results in a strong cover plate assembly with an ordinary temperature rating, and an intermediate temperature sprinkler which can be installed in 150°F (66°C) environments. When the ceiling temperature rises, the solder holding the cover plate to the skirt melts, the flat cover plate released thus exposing the sprinkler inside to the rising ambient temperature.
The subsequent fusing of the sprinkler element opens the waterway and causes the deflector to drop into position to distribute the discharging water. Any secure engagement of the threads between the cover plate and cup will assure that the drop–down deflector is properly located below the ceiling when a sprinkler operates.
