Product Description

The Reliable Model JL-17 Early Suppression Fast

Response (ESFR) Sprinkler with a nominal k-factor of

16.8 (240 metric). This sprinkler is designed to respond

quickly to growing fires and will deliver a heavy water

discharge to “suppress” rather than “control” fires. FM

Global classifies the Model JL-17 as a quick-response

sprinkler, storage and non-storage, when the sprinkler is

used in accordance with FM Global Property Loss Pre-

vention Data Sheets.

The Model JL-17 ESFR sprinkler utilizes a levered fus-

ible alloy solder link in either a 165°F (74°C) or a 212°F

(100°C) rating. Model JL-17 sprinklers are cULus Listed

for compliance with UL/ULC 1767, including the high

clearance test for rack storage.

The Model JL-17 ESFR sprinkler was designed to be

shorter and more compact than other ESFR sprinklers.

The shorter sprinkler allows piping to be installed farther

from the ceiling and obstructions. The JL-17 ESFR sprin-

kler is also less susceptible to damage due to smaller

deflector and frame design. The lighter JL-17 ESFR

passed rough use and abuse listing tests without plastic

protectors.

Model JL-17 ESFR Sprinkler

Application and Installation

The Model JL-17 ESFR sprinkler is intended for instal-

lation in accordance with NFPA 13 and FM Loss Pre-

vention Data Sheets 2-0 and 8-9, as well as the require-

ments of any Authorities Having Jurisdiction. See Table

B for information on NFPA and FM Global design criteria

for the Model JL-17 sprinkler.

Use only the Model J1 sprinkler wrench for removal

and installation. Any other type of wrench may damage

the sprinkler. A grooved wrench boss is provided on

the sprinkler to limit the potential for the wrench to slip

during installation.

Model J1

Sprinkler Wrench

Sprinklers not tightened to recommended torque may

cause leakage or impairment of the sprinkler. Damage

sprinklers must be replaced immediately.

When handling sprin-

klers, hold sprinklers

only on frame arms and

do not apply any force on

the link assembly. Sprin-

klers should be tight-

ened between 14 - 40 ft-

lbs (19 - 54 N-m) torque.

Maintenance

The Model JL-17 ESFR Sprinkler should be inspected

and the sprinkler system maintained in accordance with

NFPA 25. Do not clean sprinkler with soap and water,

ammonia or any other cleaning fluid. Replace any sprin-

kler that has been painted (other than factory applied) or

damaged in any way. A stock of spare sprinklers should

be maintained to allow quick replacement of damaged or

operated sprinklers. Prior to installation, sprinklers should

be maintained in the original cartons and packaging until

used, to minimize the potential for damage to sprinklers

that would cause improper operation or non-operation.

Once operated, automatic sprinklers cannot be reassem-

bled and reused. New sprinklers of the same size, type

and temperature rating must be installed. A cabinet of re-

placement sprinklers should be provided for this purpose.
