When heat is absorbed,the liquid <br /> within the bulb expands increasing the internal pressure. At the �' � '�� <br /> prescribedtemperaturethe internal pressurewithin the ampuleexceeds <br /> the strength of the glass causing the glass to shatter. This results in -�--- } ', <br /> water discharge which is distributed in an approved pattern depending <br /> upon the deflector style used. <br /> The sprinkler and escutcheon are not factory assembled.
