TYCO Model ESFR-17 16.8 K-factor Upright Sprinkler Early Suppression, Fast Response

The TYCO Model ESFR-17 16.8 K-factor Upright Sprinkler acts as a fast-response suppression component designed for ceiling-only high-piled storage fire protection assemblies. Installed in commercial and industrial storage environments, it targets the early stages of a fire to reduce overall property damage. Its upright configuration and 16.8 K-factor deliver heavy water distribution over combustible materials, eliminating the need for complex in-rack sprinkler lines.

This suppression device complies with governing NFPA installation standards by operating efficiently at lower head pressures, allowing you to optimize pipe sizing throughout the facility. The design satisfies strict code requirements for safeguarding high-piled commodities such as plastics, rubber tires, and paper rolls.

• Fast-Response Suppression: Activates quickly during the early stages of a fire in high-piled storage warehouses.
• 16.8 K-factor: Delivers high-volume water distribution suitable for both encapsulated and non-encapsulated commodities.
• Upright Configuration: Enhances hydraulic flexibility and simplifies placement in ceiling-only ESFR system layouts.
• Low Operating Pressure: Functions efficiently at reduced head pressures to help optimize commercial pipe sizing.
• Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Built from high-grade metals to withstand demanding industrial storage environments.

Always verify local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) guidelines and consult the official engineering documentation before beginning installation.
