Extended Coverage Sprinkler Listings Part 2

This issue of NFSAs TechNotes is a follow up to our December 23rd, 2014 issue #308 and updates the
listings for NFSA member manufactures extended coverage (EC) sprinklers in the following categories:
FM Approvals:
I.
II.
III.
IV.

VI.
VII.
VIII.
EC Light Hazard HSW

EC Extra Hazard and High Piled Storage
Hazard Class 1,2 &3*
*FM Approvals has implemented different hazard class designations which are Hazard Class 1 (HC1),
Hazard Class 2 (HC2) and Hazard Class 3 (HC3). These are comparable to NFPAs Light Hazard (LH),
Ordinary Hazard (OH) and Extra Hazard (EH) designation. One significant difference between difference
between NFPAs LH, OH, and EH and FMs HC1, HC2, and HC3 is the design demand density required
for the hazards. The design density for standard coverage sprinklers can be found in Table 2 of FM
Datasheet 3-26. These hazard designations also vary based on height, which may increase the design
density for ceiling heights over 30-feet, which is also displayed in that same table.
An engineering bulletin 04-12 was issued on March 2, 2012 as a memorandum to FM Datasheet 3-26
which includes design demands for extended coverage sprinklers. It is intended that during a review of
DS 3-26 that the EB 04-12 memorandum will be formally included in the datasheet.
A designer should always refer to FM Loss Prevention Data Sheets for Design Criteria when selecting
sprinklers.
The listings found herein are as of December 2014. Each Category is broken down by manufacturer and
sprinklers are listed according to their Sprinkler Identification Number (SIN). All values in the tables are in
English units (F, ft and gpm)
I. FM Extended Coverage Sprinklers Light Hazard Horizontal Sidewall

NFPA 13 currently requires that all light hazard occupancies are protected with quick response sprinklers.
There are extended coverage standard response sprinklers that maintain their listing for existing systems
and replacement purposes. See the FM Approval Guide for sprinklers in this category.
II. FM Quick Response Extended Coverage Sprinklers Light Hazard Horizontal Sidewall
For the table in this section, Max W and Max L are presented in a range of feet, Min Flow is
presented in GPM and the minimum pressure is presented in a range of psi
