GEM S TANDARD R ESPONSE SPRINKLERS

Standard response spray sprinklers are intended for use in fire sprinkler systems designed in accordance with the standard installation rules
recognized by the applicable Listing or Approval agency. There are two types of standard response sprinklers – bulb type and solder type.
Universal Model A, Designer, and Quartzoid® bulb type sprinklers are available in a variety of attractive finishes that blend well with their surround-
ings. When in stand-by service, a small bubble in the fluid contained in the bulb compensates for normal temperature changes. When heated, the
fluid in the bulb expands and shatters the bulb which allows water to be discharged. Duraspeed® solder type sprinklers employ a bell-shaped
copper link whose two sections are joined by solder with a predetermined temperature rating. Heat absorbed by the link is conducted directly to the
soldered joint. When the solder melts, the link springs apart, releasing water that strikes the deflector.
Standard response sprinklers are designed for use in essentially all applications including office buildings, libraries, banks, theaters, factories, and
warehouses.

GEM EXTENDED C OVERAGE SPRINKLERS

Extended coverage (EC) sprinklers, unless otherwise noted, are for the protection of light hazard occupancies. They are intended for the protection
of areas larger than those specified in standard installation rules. Extended coverage sprinklers are available in both standard response (EC) and
quick response (QR-EC). They are available in pendent, horizontal sidewall, and recessed horizontal sidewall. These sprinklers are typically used in
hotels, restaurants, office buildings, and any other large open area where it is desirable to either have one sprinkler per room or to reduce the
overall number of required sprinklers.

GEM RECESSED A ND C ONCEALED SPRINKLERS

Recessed sprinklers provide an attractive, recessed design along with a pleasing appearance for applications such as offices and retail settings.
The design also allows the sprinkler system to be installed, tested, and evaluated prior to installation or finishing of a ceiling or wall. Escutcheon
plates, available for these sprinklers, feature different ranges of adjustability for easy and neat installation after completion of the ceiling work.
Concealed sprinklers combine aesthetics with fire protection. The heart of the concealed assembly is a small-framed sprinkler head contained
within an attractive enclosure that blends with the ceiling for an unobtrusive and pleasing appearance. The cover plate assembly consists of an
enclosure and a cover plate that is soldered to the enclosure at three equidistant points around its periphery.

GEM SPECIAL PURPOSE SPRINKLERS

Special purpose sprinklers are intended for use in specific applications, including the protection of high-piled storage, freezing and areas subject to
corrosion. Also, these installations may need consideration for more water at lower pressures, more water over a greater area. The model F927 on-
off sprinkler can be used for high value areas where there is an increased requirement to minimize potential water damage.

GEM I NTERMEDIATE L EVEL (RACK S TORAGE) S PRINKLERS

Intermediate level, or storage sprinklers, are designed for use in rack storage sprinkler systems, where their thermally sensitive elements must be
shielded from the water spray of higher elevation sprinklers which could operate during a fire. Intermediate Level Sprinklers are also used in
applications such as beneath open gridded catwalks. These sprinklers are intended for use in fire sprinkler systems designed in accordance with
the standard installation rules recognized by the applicable Listing or Approval agency (e.g., UL Listing is based on NFPA requirements).

GEM CONVENTIONAL (OLD S TYLE) S PRINKLERS

Conventional sprinklers can be installed either pendent or upright position. In either position they produce a spherical water discharge pattern with
approximately 50% of the discharge directed upwards and approximately 50% of the discharge directed downward. Conventional sprinklers are
generally used as required by the automatic sprinkler system installation rules of the country and authority having jurisdiction. NFPA permits the use
of “Old Style Sprinklers” where special construction features require a unique water distribution; for the protection of fur vaults; or, the replacement
of similar sprinklers that had been installed prior to 1955.

GEM R ESIDENTIAL SPRINKLERS

The diverse line of residential sprinklers are aesthetically pleasing and among the most water usage efficient in the fire protection industry.
Residential sprinklers are available in pendent, recessed pendent, concealed pendent, horizontal sidewall, recessed horizontal sidewall, flush
pendent, and flush horizontal sidewall. A residential sprinkler used in protection of homes, dwellings, apartments, etc. requires a high wall wetting
capability in addition to an approved floor coverage, in order to be listed as a residential sprinkler per NFPA 13D, residential occupancies up to four
stories in height per NFPA 13R, and the residential portions of any occupancy per NFPA 13. The performance characteristics associated with
residential sprinklers have been proven to help in the control of residential type fires.

High Pressure Sprinklers are intended for areas having a maximum service pressure in excess of the traditional 175 psi (12.1 bar). Their maximum
rated service pressure of 300 psi (20.7 bar) makes them an excellent choice for applications that otherwise would require the use of a pressure
control valve.
Available in either standard or quick response and in either standard or extended coverage, one of the most common applications for high pressure
sprinklers is in fire protection systems for high rise buildings.

GEM A QUAMIST® S YSTEMS

The Aquamist® Systems utilize the newest and most unique types of nozzles developed for fire protection. These systems, in some cases, offer an
alternative to higher density automatic sprinkler systems, or an alternative to Halon and other gaseous agents such as carbon dioxide, or fixed
water spray systems.
The mechanisms by which the AquaMist nozzle spray act to extinguish a fire can be a combination of the following factors,
depending on the hazard:
◆ Heat extraction from the fire as water is converted into vapor and the fuel is cooled
◆ Reduced oxygen levels as the water vapor displaces oxygen near the fire
◆ Dilution of flammable vapors by the entrainment of water vapor, to such an extent that the resultant mixture of vapor will not burn
◆ Direct impingement wetting and cooling of the combustibles
◆ Enveloping of the protected area to pre-wet adjacent combustibles, cool gases and other fuels in the area, as well as to block the transfer
of radiant heat to adjacent combustibles

GEM WET P IPE S PRINKLER S YSTEMS

Wet pipe sprinkler systems are designed for use in applications where the temperature is maintained above freezing. In such systems each line is
fully pressurized so that water is discharged from a sprinkler head immediately after actuation.
Alarm check valves or water flow detectors are used to actuate local and remote alarms. Typical applications would include heated warehouses,
factories, hospitals, stores, shopping centers and residential settings such as apartment or condominium complexes, and single family residences.

GEM DRY P IPE S PRINKLER S YSTEMS

Dry pipe sprinkler systems are installed in hazards where the piping and sprinklers can be subjected to freezing temperatures. Valving for the
system, however, must be installed in areas that are not subject to freezing, as this portion of the system does contain water. In most dry pipe
systems, pipe lines to the sprinklers are pressurized with air, but nitrogen is used at times. When pressure in the system is lost through the
actuation of a sprinkler head, the dry pipe valve trips and releases water into the system and activates alarms. The system may be equipped with
automatic or manual air supply controls and air supervisory devices with appropriate trouble alarms. Accessory items, such as dry pipe valve
accelerators which increase the speed of system operation, and pressure switches which are used to activate electric alarms, may be used to
enhance the system. Typical applications for dry pipe sprinkler systems include unheated warehouses, parking garages, store windows, attic
spaces, loading docks, and other areas exposed to freezing temperatures.

GEM G ENERAL PURPOSE V ALVES

The following general purpose valves are for use in fire protection service applications where it is necessary to prevent reverse flow, or where
system shut-off or sectional control is desired for closing a fire protection system after operation or to facilitate testing. Also, there are valves for
reducing high pressures for both sprinkler piping and hose stations.
