They are designed for installation along a wall or the side of a beam and beneath a smooth and level ceiling. Horizontal sidewall sprinklers are commonly used in lieu of pendent or upright sprinklers because of aesthetics or building construction considerations where piping across the ceiling is not desirable.

They are intended for use in automatic sprinkler systems designed in accordance with standard installation rules (e.g., NFPA 13) for light hazard occupancies. The fast response thermal sensitivity rating of the Model CHEC Sprinklers provides for a quick response extended coverage rating up to a 16 ft. x 16 ft. coverage area.

Each unit includes a Cover Plate Assembly that conceals the sprinkler operating components. The separable two-piece design of the Cover Plate and Support Cup Assemblies allows installation of the sprinklers and pressure testing of the fire protection system prior to the installation of the wall or application of a finish coating.

The Model CHEC Sprinklers are shipped with a Protective Cap. The Protective Cap is temporarily removed for installation, and it must be replaced to help protect the sprinkler while the wall is being plastered, wallpapered, or painted. When the wall installation is complete the Protective Cap must be removed and the Cover Plate Assembly installed. The Protective Cap must be removed to ensure proper performance of the sprinklers.
