Model CHEC, 8.0 K-factor Concealed Horizontal Extended Coverage
General Description
The Model CHEC (Concealed Horizontal Extended Coverage), 8.0 K-factor, Quick Response Light Hazard, Sidewall Sprinklers are decorative, 3 mm bulb type sprinklers featuring a unique cover plate designed to conceal the sprinkler. It is the best choice for architecturally sensitive areas such as dormitories, hotel rooms, reception areas, office buildings, banquet facilities, conference rooms, and hospitals.
The soft contour of the cover plate optimizes a low profile while blending in with surrounding surfaces. The plate, while maintaining a fast response sensitivity has been specifically designed without vent holes to increase its aesthetic appeal while helping to avoid objects from being hung from the sprinkler (i.e., garment bags, clothes hangers, etc.) that might otherwise cause an inadvertent operation. They are designed for installation along a wall or the side of a beam and beneath a smooth and level ceiling. The fast response thermal sensitivity rating of the Model CHEC Sprinklers provides for a quick response extended coverage rating up to a 16 ft. x 16 ft. coverage area. Each unit includes a Cover Plate Assembly that conceals the sprinkler operating components. The separable two-piece design of the Cover Plate and Support Cup Assemblies allows installation of the sprinklers and pressure testing of the fire protection system prior to the installation of the wall or application of a finish coating.
IMPORTANT Always refer to Technical Data Sheet TFP700 for the INSTALLER WARNING that provides cautions with respect to handling and installation of sprinkler systems and components. Improper handling and installation can permanently damage a sprinkler system or its components and cause the sprinkler to fail to operate in a fire situation or cause it to operate prematurely.
