5 ESFR Dry-Type Pendent Sprinkler Supported by building structure outside of box-in-box area Installed on simple wet system Provides suppression performance to cold storage Ceiling heights to 40 ft (12,2m) Wide range of commodities Wide range of storage arrangements 60 minute water duration Protection of Wide Range of Commodities and Storage Arrangements Without In-rack Sprinklers 5

6 Model ESFR-17 Dry-Type New Tyco Storage Sprinkler The Model ESFR-17 Dry-Type Sprinkler provides fire protection for box-in-box cold storage facilities with: Greater flexibility and marketability of the facilities Lower installed cost and better fire protection when compared to other ceiling-only protection options Lower installed cost when compared to in-rack protection Lower cost of operation than other options Only the TYCO Model ESFR-17 Dry-Type offers: Low installed cost because of the opportunity to reduce pipe size and use smaller fire pumps because of the lower minimum pressures compared to other ESFR dry pendents 40 ft (12,2 m) ceiling only protection under NFPA Edition 6 Complete ESFR Protection for Box-in-Box Cold Storage

7 ESFR-Class Fire Protection for Cold Storage The Model ESFR-17 Dry-Type Sprinkler Pendent provides ESFR class protection for box-in-box cold storage facilities Installed to NFPA Guidelines for ESFR 16.8 (242) sprinklers Solid pile or palletize storage of Class I IV to 35 ft (10.7 m) of storage and Group A or B Plastics Open frame single, double and multiple-row rack (no solid shelves) of Class I IV to 35 ft (10.7 m) of storage and Group A or B Plastics Idle pallet storage Rubber Tire Storage Rolled paper storage Flammable liquid storage 7 Aerosol storage Greater flexibility and Marketability of the facilities

9 Maintenance Schedule For Various Systems Per NFPA 25, 2010 Edition Weekly Monthly Inspect Gauges Inspect Gauges Inspect Control Valves Test Mechanical water flow alarm devices Inspect Control Valves Dry ESFR Pendent VANQUISH Anti- Freeze Double Interlock Pre-action Quarterly Semi - annually Inspect water flow alarm devices, Valve supervisory alarm devices, Supervisory signal devices, Hydraulic Nameplate Test priming water level, low air pressure alarms, Test Quick Opening Devices, Test low air pressure alarms Test valves supervisory, vane/pressure switch water flow alarm devices, Test Antifreeze solution 9 Fewer inspection and maintenance activities on weekly, monthly, quarterly and semi-annual result in lower cost of operation

10 Maintenance Schedule For Various Systems Continued Per NFPA 25, 2010 Edition Dry ESFR Pendent VANQUISH ESFR Anti- Freeze (Wet) Double Interlock Pre-action Inspect Pipe and fittings, sprinklers, inspect spare sprinklers, inspect information sign, Test valves operation, Test Supervisory signal devices, Test main drain Annually Inspect interior of non-re-settable Control Valves, inspect condition of detection devices, Conduct Partial Flow Trip Test Pre-action System Maintenance Low-point drains, Test automatic air pressure maintenance devices 3 Years Full Flow Trip Test Pre-action System* Test for air leakage, Inspect Sprinkler Piping for Ice Plugs 5 Years Test Gauges Inspect interior of resettable Control Valves, 10 Years Test Sprinklers Dry 10 * NFPA Pre-action or deluge valves protecting freezers shall be trip tested in a manner that does not introduce moisture into the piping in the freezer. Fewer inspection and maintenance activities on annual and longer basis result in lower cost of operation

11 Example Comparing K-Factor 16.8 (242) with 14.0 (200) For a box-in-box freezer that is: K-16.8 (242) uses less material 200 x 100 ft (61 x 30 m) 2000 ft2 (186 m2) 40 ft (12.1 m) ceiling 35 ft (10.5 m) storage Class III Commodities Open frame rack 2.0 in (DN50) versus 2.5 in (DN65) branch lines 10% less labor K-16.8 (242) has 10% lower system pressure when using same main size and the smaller branch lines Opportunity to reduce pipe size saving material and labor and to possibly downsize or eliminate fire pump saving installation cost 11
