Where the area of Glazing is less than
14.2 linear meters, all window sprinklers
on one side shall be calculated.
If an area reduction for quick response
sprinklers is utilized, the linear length of
the calculated window sprinklers may
be reduced, but in no case shall be less
than 36 linear feet (1.2 x √900).
If a single re can be expected to
operate Model WS Window Sprinklers
and sprinklers within the design area of
a hydraulically calculated system, the
water demand of the window sprinklers
shall be added to the water demand
of the hydraulic calculations and shall
be balanced to the calculated area
demand.
If the window sprinklers are located in
an area other than the hydraulic design
area, the demand of the window sprin-
klers is not required to be added to
the demand of the remote hydraulic
design area. However, it is necessary
to prove hydraulically the simultaneous
operation of the Model WS Window
Sprinklers and the ceiling sprinklers
adjacent to the window sprinklers.
Interior Protection Non-Sprinklered
Building
Calculate all sprinklers on the most
demanding side of the glazing
assembly within the enclosure.
Exterior Exposure Protection
Calculate all sprinklers controlled by the
deluge valve using the design require-
ments of NFPA.
Duration of Water Supply
Duration of water supply must comply
with requirements of NFPA. If window
sprinklers are used to provide the
equivalency of a re rating, the water
supply must be capable of supplying
water for the required rating period.
Minimum Flow per Sprinkler
20 GPM (75,7 LPM) for sprinkler
spacing of 6 to 8 ft. (1,83 to 2,44 m)
or 15 GPM (56,8 LPM) for sprinkler
spacing less than 6 ft. (1,83 m).
Maximum Pressure per Sprinkler
• Horizontal Sidewall: 70 psi (4,83 bar)*
* The 70 psi is only for cold solder
purposes. If there is a bafe or a
mullion of sufcient depth to act as a
bafe, separating the sprinklers, the
maximum pressure is 175 psi (12,07
bar).
• Vertical Sidewall: 175 psi (12,07 bar)

When acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction the Model WS Specic Application
Window Sprinklers may be used in either a sprinklered or unsprinklered building to protect
nonoperable window openings that are in an interior re separation, the window sprinklers
are installed on both sides of the window in the re separation.

Window Sprinklers may be used in either a sprinklered or unsprinklered building to protect
nonoperable window openings that are part of a re separation provided in jurisdictions
where exterior spatial separation is dened as protecting an adjacent building from a re
