Standard Response vs Quick Response: Visual Difference?
Standard Response vs Quick Response: Visual Difference?
(OP)
Is there a way to tell the difference between standard response sprinklers and quick response sprinklers by looking at the them?
My guess is by looking at the fusible link. From what I notice, standard response seems to have a thicker glass bulb. However, I'm only looking at 2 sprinklers so that could be just the manufacturers design and might not have anything to do with response.

QR sprinklers have a 3mm glass bulb.
That is standard across all manufacturers in the US. Otherwise, you can look on the sprinkler for SIN - sprinkler identification number and find it in the manufacturer's data sheet.

Travis, where can I find that in some literature or maybe NFPA?
