Flow Rate per Individual Sprinkler Head Standard commercial high-rise sprinklers are engineered for "light hazard" or "ordinary hazard" environments (like offices, hotel rooms, and condos). [1]
Standard High-Rise Heads: Typically discharge 13 to 18 gpm. Enhanced/Advanced High-Rise Heads: Use larger internal orifices (higher K-factors) and fast-response thermal bulbs. When activated under high hydraulic pressure, an enhanced head discharges between 26 to 40+ gpm. This effectively doubles the volume of water hitting the fire source within the first seconds of ignition.
