Reference Guide to Automatic Sprinklers
A Reference Guide to Automatic Sprinklers" is a quick reference guide to 
automatic
fire sprinklers. The purpose of this guide is to serve as a useful tool for the 
designer (or estimator) of fire sprinkler systems. It should allow a designer to
 quickly compare the various sprinklers that are available by their "K" factor, 
area of coverage, and minimum pressure requirements. After selecting the 
sprinkler,
the designer will have to consult the manufacturer's data sheet for the selected
 sprinkler to obtain the latest installation and design requirements.

The information contained in this guide is a supplement to the manufacturer's 
data
sheets. The guide is not a replacement for the manufacturer's data sheet. It 
does
not contain pertinent information, such as installation restrictions, that must 
be obtained from the manufacturer's data sheet.
