Sprinkler Hose with Braiding
Automatic fire sprinklers are individually heat-activated and attached to a network of piping with water under pressure. When the heat of a fire raises the sprinkler temperature to its operating temperature (usually 186°F - 86°C), a solder link will melt or a liquid-filled glass bulb will shatter to open that sprinkler, releasing water and sounding an alarm. By acting automatically at the origin of a fire, sprinklers prevent a fire from going to a dangerous size.

Arsen-SP Sprinkler Hose and Connection Adapter can be safely used in fire extinguishing systems due to its structure not being affected by seismic motions and the braided hose's resistance to heat and pressure. Primary advantages are connecting the sprinkler to the fire line with minimum effort and installing the device easily into ceiling with its connection Adapter. Public places like shopping centers, hotels, theaters, cinemas where the response time is really important are where the system is mostly chosen.
There are many advantages using Arsen-SP Sprinkler Hose and Connection Adapter to mount sprinkler systems. Most important ones are minimum workmanship time provided by easy installation, safer sprinkler systems against seismic motions and adjustability without being dependent upon design of installation lines.

Advantages of Arsen-SP Sprinkler Hose and Connection Adapter
Proficiency and time is needed for adjusting the steel installation line to the desired sprinkler mounting point using elbows, couplings etc. By using Arsen-SP Sprinkler Hose and Connection Adapter, it is quite easy to align and tighten sprink side of sprinkler hose with desired point (usually middle point of grid) of ceilings. Additionally, due to convenient design of hose fixing apparatus, sprink side of hose can be adjusted on vertical axis. As a result, height of sprinkler head and escutcheon can be adjusted relative to ceilings.
When hoses used in sprinkler systems have international approvals (UL, FM), it shows that tests such as pressure, temperature, fatique, vibration needed to provide fire safety of buildings were conducted by approval organization, product has the declared technical specifications and inspections are conducted periodically to check whether the production is according to approved specifications.

Specifications of Sprinkler Hose with Braiding and Connection Adapter
Arsen-SP Sprinkler Hose and Connecton Adapter has been designed to solve possible problems experienced when installing sprinklers to system. They are offered including bolts to make easiest and fastest installation to ceiling systems described below.
Ceiling Specifications
These connections are designed for use in ceilings with grids that meet ASTM C 635 (Standard Specification for the Manufacture, Performance, and Testing of Metal Suspension Systems for Acoustical Tile and Lay-in Panel Ceilings) and ASTM C 636 (Standard Practice for Installation of Metal Ceiling Suspension Systems for Acoustical Tile and Lay-in Panels) referenced by the IBC. The three structural classifications are the following: Light-Duty Systems, Intermediate-Duty Systems and Heavy-Duty Systems. These connections have been approved for use in all Intermediate-Duty and Heavy-Duty structural classifications.
System Safety
Arsen-SP products are intended for use in hydraulically designed wet or dry pipe sprinkler connections per NFPA 13, 13R, and 13D guidelines and for direct connection to fire sprinklers.
Safety Of Sprinkler Under Seismic Motions
It is quite important that safety systems are able to work free of problems. Arsen-SP Flexible Sprinkler Hose Connection reduces the probability of degradation caused by seismic motions.
