Model JL-17 (SIN RA1914)

Early Suppression

Fast Response Sprinkler

Product Description

The Reliable Model JL-17 Early Suppression Fast Re-

sponse (ESFR) Sprinkler is intended for use against

severe fire challenges. This sprinkler is designed to re-

spond quickly to growing fires and will deliver a heavy

water discharge to “suppress” rather than “control”

fires.

Note: The Model JL-17 ESFR sprinkler utilizes a le-

vered fusible alloy solder link in either a 165°F (74°C)

or a 212°F (100°C) rating. FM Global considers this

a “Quick Response” storage sprinkler for use in Data

Sheet 8-9.

The sprinkler has a Nominal K Factor of 16.8 (metric

241,9) and will deliver approximately 121 gpm (458 L/

min) of water at 52 psi (3,6 bar).

The smaller deflector and frame provide a broad, very

symmetrical, hemispherical pattern capable of sup-

pressing fires between sprinklers in high storage height

areas and at the same time retaining a high momentum

central core to penetrate and suppress fires occurring

directly beneath the sprinkler in low storage height ar-

eas.

The JL-17 ESFR sprinkler was designed to be short-

er, and more compact than other ESFR sprinklers. The

shorter sprinkler allows piping to be installed further from

the ceiling and obstructions. The JL-17 ESFR sprinkler is

also less susceptible to damage due to smaller deflec-

tor and frame design. The lighter JL-17 ESFR passed

rough use and abuse test in the labs without plastic pro-

tectors.

Application and Installation

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

lation in accordance with NFPA 13 and FM Loss Preven-

tion Data Sheets 2-0 and 8-9, as well as the Authority

Having Jurisdiction.

The Model JL-17 ESFR sprinkler is designed for ceil-

ing only sprinkler system with no in-rack sprinklers re-

quired. For encapsulated or non-encapsulated includ-

ing cartoned unexpanded plastics of up to 35 ft (10,7m)

with ceiling heights to 40 ft (12,2m). Model JL-17 ESFR

is also use for cartoned expanded plastics up to 25 ft

(7,6m) with ceilings heights to 30 ft (9,1m) as well as

some storage arrangements of rubber tires, rolled pa-

per, and aerosols.

For storage protection that have up to 40 ft (12,2m)

storage heights with 45 ft (13.7m) ceiling heights, Model

JL-17 ESFR can be used with one level of in-rack sprin-

klers.

Model JL-17 ESFR Sprinkler

Design Criteria

General guidelines:

Sprinkler Position: Pendent, align frame arms with

the pipe. Deflectors should be parallel with the ceil-

ing or roof.

System Type: Wet Pipe Systems Only

Maximum area of coverage: 100 ft2(9,3m2), greater

coverage area are allowable in some cases.

Minimum area of coverage: 64 ft2(5,8m2)

Maximum slope ceiling: 2/12 pitch (9.5°)

Maximum spacing: 12 ft (3,7m) for building heights

up to 30 ft (9,1m) and 10 feet (3,1m) for building

heights greater than 30 ft (9,1m)

Minimum spacing: 8 feet (2,4m2)

Deﬂector distance from walls: At least 4 inches

(102mm) from walls, and no more than one-half the

allowable distance permitted between sprinklers.

Deﬂector to Top of Storage: at least 36in (914mm).

Deﬂector to ceiling Distance: 6-14 in (152-356mm)

per NFPA 13. 5-14 in (121-35mm) per FM 2-2.

Center Line of Thermal Sensing

Element To Ceiling Distance: 4-13 in (102-330mm)

per FM

Maintenance

The Model JL-17 ESFR Sprinkler should be inspected

quarterly and the sprinkler system maintained in accor-

dance with NFPA 25. Do not clean sprinkler with soap and

water, ammonia or any other cleaning fluid. Remove any

sprinkler 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.

Model JL-17 ESFR Sprinkler Speciﬁcation

Sprinklers shall be Early Suppression Fast Response

(ESFR) pendent suppression mode sprinklers specifically

tested and [UL Listed] [FM Approved] for commodity stor-

age applications. Sprinkler frame and deflector to be of

bronze construction. Fusible link assembly shall utilize the

strut and lever principle of operation with approved fast

response black-painted or white-painted beryllium-nickel

thermal element. Water seal shall consist of a Teflon-coated

Bellville spring washer and brass cap assembly contain-

ing no plastic parts. ESFR sprinklers shall have a nominal

K-factor of 16.8 with ¾” NPT threaded end connections.

Sprinkler temperature rating shall be [Ordinary 165°F

(74°C)] [Intermediate 212°F (100°C)]. ESFR pendent

sprinklers shall be Reliable Model JL-17 (Bulletin 019).

Use only the Model J1

sprinkler wrench for re-

moval and installation. Any

other type of wrench may

damage the sprinkler.

Model J1 Sprinkler Wrench

Note: When handling sprinklers, hold sprinklers only on

frame arms and do not apply any force on the link as-

sembly. Sprinklers should be tightened between 14-20

ft-lbs (19-27,1 Nm) torque.Sprinklers not tightened to

recommended torque may cause leakage or impairment

of the sprinkler. Damage sprinklers must be replaced im-

mediately.

Ordering Information

Specify:

1. Temperature rating

2. Thread type 3/4” NPT or ISO 7-R3/4

Note: Grooved sprinkler boss provided to ensure that the

sprinkler wrench does not slip during installation.
