EC Sidewall Sprinkler Guards

[Dr. J]

Does anyone know of an Extended Coverage Sidewall Sprinkler that is approved for use with a guard? I need extended coverage, but also need protection of the head from damage and accidental activation. I am considering an institutional head or a concealed head , which are better than an exposed sprinkler, but these are not quite as stout as a wire guard.

Sorry no indication for extended coverage

Yep! The model G has a guard and is side wall.

What damage are you trying to protect against????

 

[RJJ]

Fire! Oh you mean physical damage!

RJJ - the list of heads the Model G is approved for does not include any extended coverage heads.

Yes, I am contacting manufacturers, I just thought I would tap this resource as well.

I recall seeing a Reliable HSWEC a few years ago for storage applications in their listing package but can't find it now....... knew I should have saved that data sheet.

Dr.J I missed that extended coverage when viewing the heads.
