Technical Data Sheet: MX8534 Standard/Quick Response Extended Coverage ELO Pendent Sprinkler K11.2

1. DESCRIPTION
EC/QREC Pendent Sprinkler MX8534 is a thermosensitive spray sprinkler available
in several different finishes and temperature ratings to meet varying design
requirements. The extra-large orifice produces the flows required to meet Light
and Ordinary Hazard density requirements at lower pressures than standard
orifice or large orifice sprinklers. The glass bulb operating element and special
deflector characteristics meet the challenges of quick response extended coverage
standards. Pendent Sprinkler MX8534 is cULus Listed as standard and quick
response. The special Polyester and Electroless Nickel PTFE (ENT) coatings can
be used in decorative applications where colors are desired. In addition, ENT coating
has been investigated for installation in corrosive environments and is Listed and
Approved as indicated in the Approval Charts.

4. INSTALLATION
Refer to appropriate NFPA Installation Standards.
5. OPERATION
During fire conditions, the heat-sensitive liquid in the glass bulb expands, causing the glass to shatter, releasing the pip cap and
sealing spring assembly. Water flowing through the sprinkler orifice strikes the sprinkler deflector, forming a uniform spray pattern
to extinguish or control the fire.
6. INSPECTIONS, TESTS, AND MAINTENANCE
Refer to NFPA 25 for Inspection, Testing and Maintenance requirements.

4. cULus Listed for use in the U.S. and Canada.

5. To determine “Minimum Water Supply Requirement” for areas of coverage where length and width of actual sprinkler spacing are not equal, select the “Maximum Sprinkler
Spacing” from the chart that is equal to or greater than the larger of the actual spacing (length or width) dimensions used. Example: When using 10’-6” x 13’-0” sprinkler
spacing, provide the “Minimum Water Supply Requirement” listed in the chart for 14’-0” x 14’-0” spacing. For areas of coverage smaller than shown, use the “Minimum
Water Supply Requirement” in the appropriate hazard group for the next larger area listed. The distance from sprinklers to walls shall not exceed one-half the “Maximum
Sprinkler Spacing” listed for the “Minimum Water Supply Requirement” used.
6. cULus Listed as corrosion-resistant.

 Design Criteria 1 - UL
Also refer to the Approval Chart above.
cULus Listing Requirements:
EC-ELO Pendent Sprinkler MX8534 is cULus Listed as indicated in Approval Chart 1 for installation in accordance with the latest edition of NFPA 13
for extended coverage pendent spray sprinklers as indicated below:
• The minimum water supplies and maximum areas of coverage shown in Approval Chart 1 are designed to provide the following design densities:
0.10 gpm/ft2 (4.1 mm/min) for Light Hazard densities; 0.15 gpm/ft2 (6.1 mm/min) for Ordinary-Hazard Group I densities; 0.2 gpm/ft.2 (8.1 mm/
min) for Ordinary-Hazard Group II densities.
• The sprinkler installation rules contained in NFPA 13 for extended coverage pendent spray sprinklers must be followed.
• EC-ELO Pendent Sprinklers are cULus Listed for use in unobstructed construction, and noncombustible obstructed construction consisting of
solid steel and/or concrete beams as defined in the latest edition of NFPA 13.
• Ceiling slope not to exceed 2/12 (9.5°).
Also, ECOH-ELO Pendent Sprinkler MX8534 is specifically cULus Listed for Ordinary Hazard Occupancies:
• For non-combustible obstructed construction within trusses or bar joists having non-combustible web members greater than 1” (25.4 mm) when
applying the 4 times obstruction criteria rule as defined in NFPA 13 under “Obstructions to Sprinkler Discharge Pattern Development”.
• For installation under concrete tees when installed as follows:
1. The stems of the concrete tee construction must be spaced between 3 ft (0.9 m) and 7 ft-6 in (2.3 m) on center. The depth of the concrete tees must
not exceed 30 in (762 mm). The maximum permitted concrete tee length is 32 ft (9.8 m). However, where the concrete tee length exceeds 32 ft (9.8
m), non-combustible baffles, equal in height to the depth of the tees, can be installed so that the space between the tees does not exceed 32 ft (9.8 m).
2. The sprinkler deflector is to be located in a horizontal plane at or above 1” (25.4 mm) below the bottom of the concrete tee stems.

IMPORTANT: Always refer to Form No. FX_091699 - Care and Handling of Sprinklers. Also refer to Form No. FX_080614 for
general care, installation, and maintenance information. Minimax sprinklers are to be installed in accordance with the latest
edition of Minimax technical data, the appropriate standards of NFPA or other similar organizations, and also with the provi-
sions of governmental codes, ordinances, and standards, whenever applicable.

Step 1: Carefully slide the

wrench sideways around
the deflector, ensuring
engagement with the
sprinkler wrench flats.
